Lilly at 7 months

Here are some 7 month pictures of Lilly. This month she's learned to stick out her tongue and spit. My favorite new skill that she's learned is to give kisses. She takes your face in both hands and brings your face down to her mouth and then she starts "kissing" or eating you for a second or two, and then let's go with a big grin on her face. Really wet and adorable. She's starting to scoot around a little to move. Other then that she continues to be a really happy, easy-going baby and we sure do love her.

Silly

It always seems like my kids are the most happy when they are being silly :)

Jedi Sam

Samuel got to go to a birthday party for a boy in his class at school this last month. This little boy LOVES Star Wars so the mom created the theme around Jedi training. So cute! Here is Sam dressed up and ready to learn the ways of the Jedi and showing off his light saber moves.

Soccer

I put the boys in the Rec Soccer for this next year. They have a camp they do in the summer for it and then they will start to play games in the Fall. So far they are loving it. Each player got a free soccer ball for signing up and they love playing in the backyard with each other. They've made some new friends already and I think it will be a good experience for them.

Dragons

I was reading to Katie from the book Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George (I got to meet the author yesterday btw- so much fun!- and get my book autographed!). If you love fairy tales these books are for you and my girl LOVES fairy tales. In fact, all my kids do. As the name suggests there are dragons in the book.

So at dinner today Katie says in this growly voice "I am powerful! I am a dragon with huge jagged teeth. Grrrrrrr!"
Samuel tells her "I'm not afraid of you!"
Katie: "You're not afraid of me? I am drinking lions blood (juice) and eating bears (bread and pasta and veggies) so I can be the biggest dragon of them all! Grrrrrrr!"

They then went on to all be dragons roaming the land and eating bears and drinking lions blood so they could grow to be the biggest beasts. Even Lilly was a dragon though her growl was more a fierce sticking out her tongue at you and spitting (a new habit). As they ate more and more bites of their grizzly dragon meals they started to slowly stand up on the chairs like they were growing until they were finished eating and started jumping around on the floor in this jumping jack kind of motion to signify more growth. Then they flew around the house to rescue maidens and do other noble dragon deeds.
