Zoinks

I tried to post this awhile ago, but the pictures did not upload - so I will try again...

Fun little afternoon trip to Zoinks! Mabry loves Zoinks and little Miss Briley seems to think she is a big girl and loves it too! :-)

little fish

Mabry has been taking swim lessons last week and this week with her buddies Reed, Daniel and Liam. I cannot tell you how proud I am of my little fish! I'm not going to say she was excited about lessons everyday or didn't tell me multiple times that "a storm was coming in and we wouldn't be able to get into the pool"...even though she was a little hesitant about lessons, when we got there she was a good listener and hard worker! I was shocked that day 2 of lessons she swam the width of the pool and by day 4 she swam the length with help from coach to stop and breathe. The hardest element for her is looking down. She gets so anxious where the vaccuum is, or where the stairs/wall is that she forgets to look down. I truly am amazed how much all 4 of the kiddos have learned in such a short time! We had some funny poop adventures and all sorts of Gods creations hanging around. (baby mouse, dead baby snake, dead mole, frogs, centi/milli pedes) We still have one more day of lessons next week, we have been very fortunate to have an awesome coach and a beautiful pool to have lessons and swim around with our kiddos! I have really enjoyed spending time with Ashley (and Cade), Caroline and Rachel for the past 2 weeks!

Mabry, I love you and I am SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!

and she's off...

About 2 weeks ago, Briley decided that she was going to walk. The past couple of months she had taken many steps, cruised from thing to thing, but preferred to be held. About 2 weeks ago she decided that she was ready. Since then she has not slowed down a bit! It is so cute! She also had her 14month appointment last week and she is almost 20lbs. (19.8lbs) 10th percentile for height and weight and 25 for head. The is talking SO much! She said Domino (neighbors cat) and my neighbor and I about fell out. She loves her lovey, climbing on any bed (especially with a naked bum after bathtime), she gives huge open mouth kisses, she is a pretty good eater - loves "blues" blueberries, she can tear up a pb & j and contstantly is doing things that are so sweet and cute that I have to tackle her with kisses! She is quite sassy too! She knows "no" and will give you the weasel eye right before swatting at you. Love her - every bit of that stinkin fun, cute, sweet and sassy personality!!!
