"Hello"

She has perfected "hello" and also "bye."  This particular morning she left the room and said "bye" so many times that Sam fell over laughing.  Then she came back and appropriately switched to "hello."

Sleeping Children

When I came home after having drinks with a coworker, Chris had put the children to bed and this is how I found them, sound asleep.

Moana

This summer Vivian is pretty sure she's Moana, which in my opinion is great if she has decided she's a Disney character.  It does have a slightly dangerous element where she's not scared of the water, but hopefully that will just result in her learning how to swim.  We have found her singing to the sea a lot at the beach.

Lanie Tries Out Walking

This was a random occurrence after dinner, although she was trying it out in on a blanket on the grass at the pool today.  She tends to try things one day (like saying a word), then never do it again, so we'll see if she has actually decided to walk or if she's just testing the waters.  Bittersweet to see the youngest turn from a baby into a toddler!  

Lanie and the Water Table

I should just put a little baby soap in here and I'd be all set for the bath for the night since she seems to think it's for washing purposes.

The Car Wash

Sam videotaped Lanie as we went through the car wash the other day.  I  love her expression as she takes it all in.
