My little ballerina

Our 2nd day of class and she had a BLAST!

1st day of dance lessons

Micaela's first Dance Lesson was quite the trip. She has a friend in the class as well, Mara..but as soon as we got there she started crying and saying she didn't want to dance (??? WHAT??) She LOVES to dance. I say ok then don't, just sit here and watch everyone else have fun. So she did. She sat like this for about 20 min (the class is 45 min long). FINALLY she got brave enough and went out there with the kids (with mommies help) and had a BLAST!

Even Taylor had a great time :)

Fastest Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo because there is a new baby elephant. Micaela was very excited, we got there and blew past the monkeys, even though Taylor thought they were pretty neat and was talking to them..."mom, lets go see the elephants." So, off we went to the elephants. The baby elephant was soo cute, Micaela watched her for about a minute and said ok lets go see the giraffes. I tried to get her to stay there to watch the baby elephant, because she was just too dang cute..but no. So off we went...and blew past the rhinos, apes, bears, zebras and stopped by the Penguins. They weren't in their exhibit, where they usually are, so we walked around back. They were locked up in back and you could see them through a glass window. We did stay there for a while watching them and then as we walked away she said "I think they are sad." I said "sad, why?" and she said "because they are locked up in there." Now, I do agree with her, but she has never said anything about the other animals.

Off to the giraffes, and there is a baby giraffe which is darling..we did stay there long enough for Taylor to talk to the giraffes, he thought they were pretty neat. And then off we went to the carousel (blew past the tigers and baby tigers). After that she was focused on going to the playground..I asked what about the other animals and she said no I want to go down the slide. I was so shocked...this zoo trip lasted ONE hour!

Watch Out!

Taylor is 11 months old and he is WALKING!! I can not believe it, my baby has grown up so much in the past week. He is walking and he also loves to go up and down the stairs, he even understands that he needs to go down backwards (but still does the occasional turn around, freak you out move).

And he is SOO proud of himself!

Cute pictures

Josh's cousin, Alana, took these pictures. Thanks Alana, they turned out GREAT!
