Just sharing a few photos from the last week or two.

Here's one of Alyssa being painfully cute in her ultrasaucer. We moved her outside so she could enjoy the sunshine for a bit.







One of Amanda in her jammies talking on a toy phone. She has long pretend conversations with just about everybody she knows and a few people I've never heard of.
We spent a couple of days with Scott’s grandparents. Scott and Grandpa golfed, Amanda played and Grandma spent a lot of time cuddling her youngest great-grandbaby. As you can see, she was one happy grandma.

The pictures above were taken at the Art & Wind Festival where Amanda had a blast jumping in the bounce house and squeeeeeealed with delight when she met a giant walking can of motor oil. I can’t imagine her being any more excited if she’d met an actual celebrity, like say Dora the Explorer or Cinderella. She proudly wore her "Please recycle motor oil" sticker for the rest of the day.
And last but not least, that’s Alyssa eating her first cookie (technically a Gerber biter biscuit) and enjoying it as much as a hot fudge sundae. I forgot how messy those things are. I practically had to hose the girl down afterwards because somehow she got that cookie everywhere including in her ear and between her toes.
