Playing and Learning

Bear is getting so so close to walking on her own. We got her some push toys to practice with... here she is pushing her new bear from Uncle Nate around!

Why get toys when the box will do just fine. She is not much of a climber... as of yet. She is great on stairs but has not discovered the couch or anything like that. She got up on the box and couldn't figure out how to get back off. I know it is as low as a stair but some how it confused her and she got a little upset over it. I had to help her down.

Birthday in Washington

For Lydias Birthday we headed to Washington to spend it with Aunt Jen and Uncle Monte. Grandma Ross was also able to drive over so it was a great time for all of us. Even though we were away from family and friends in AZ we had a good time, Montes family made us feel right at home.

My Favorite pic of the week!

We sing happy bday and bring out the bear cake!

She is not sure what to do with it...she needs some help from mom and dad. Plus i don't think she liked having her hand dirty!


Mommy shows her that she can touch it!
She enjoyed it at least a little. Grandma making the cake... She did an amazing job! They were perfect!

First Steps

Bear took her first steps on her own the day before her birthday. We managed to get a few of them on video. We were pretty excited, we thought it would be a while before we got there. I guess she just wanted to show off for Uncle Monte and Aunt Jen!

Steptoe Butte

We took an afternoon to check out the view of the butte. It was really cool, you could see forever... or so it seemed!

Happy Family Bear ontop of the world!

Happy Couple

Bear Meets Uncle Thomas

A few weeks ago Uncle Thomas came down from San Diego to see dad and meet Bear. She had a great time getting to see him. We think she might have been confused at first.. why are we not calling him uncle nate... last time he was here that is what we called him.. Daddy sat down with her and explained twins to her. We will see if it made any sense as she gets older!!!

Darn apparently i put all those pics on billies computer....so i will post them next time i go to visit...
