Andy Walks

Just for the record, Andy took his first wobbly steps weeks ago, but today he walked. Meaning he took more than a couple steps on the way to the ground. He took a couple steps, rebalanced himself, and took some more steps before falling down. All day, he just got better and better. By tonight, he took 7 or 8 steps before falling down. The End.

Lil's Spill

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later with this little monkey...

We're still not sure exactly what happened. She was playing in her room, when we heard crying. It seems she fell off something she had turned into a stool, and bit right thru her cheek.

She cried and cried and cried, until she finally fell asleep in my arms.

Luckily we had two soon-to-be dentists in the house at the time. They rounded up some supplies and a soon-to-be ENT specialist. Considering it was a Sunday night, we thought they could do a better job than the nearest ER. Brian numbed up her cheek. She didn't like that too much (I think because it hurt a little, tasted yucky and made her bleed more), so she wouldn't let our ENT friend anywhere near her to stitch her up. Luckily, they have an app for that :) It's called Netflix. We turned on Backyardigans on my IPhone and held it so she could see it, and she sat perfectly still the rest of the time. She got two stitches on the outside and two stitches on the inside. She was such a trooper!

I like money

Lil: Grammy, do you have any money? I like money.
Grammy: You know money is the root of all evil.
Lil: WHAT?!?
Grammy: Money is the root of all evil.
Lil: My dolly doesn't like evil. She is scared of it.

Xander's Dream

I was 4 and 3/4. I wasn't an angry bird, but I was chasing real angry bird piggies. All I could find was the cheese factory with some cheese-people making cheese. I could only find a little bit of piggies. I went to the piggie factory and that's where I found a little bit of piggies. I found a mustache piggy, or mustache cheese-person. My mommy and Lil went to a fun park and we ate our gogurts, and I went to go play, and when I got out it turned into a water park. We didn't have our swimming suits so we couldn't go in. And we went in and just watched the kids play on the edge.

Huh?
