A few videos

Claire has been enjoying the jumperoo although of course as soon as the camera comes out she just stares at me. Kate loves the camera and wants to make sure she is in every shot possible.

My baby is six months old!

I can't believe that Claire is already six months old. She is getting so big. She can roll over and almost sit up all by herself. She's really trying to crawl and can kind of scoot around a little bit. She can't wait to chase her big sister all around. We've starting feeding her a little baby food but she doesn't really like it that much. No teeth yet but everything goes straight to her mouth like a little puppy with a chew toy. She is a very happy baby.

Claire likes a fake cough

For some reason, Claire thinks fake coughing is hilarious. She also likes to do it herself. She's getting so big and can almost sit up by herself. Kate is doing much better on the potty so we're hoping to get her fully potty trained soon. She hasn't peed her pants in about 2 weeks but has had some poop accidents. She had a really good time on the 4th July . At my mom and Ed's party she got to play with Lily which is Ed's great niece. Lily is 4 and Kate loved her. She tried to go home with her. They hugged goodbye like long lost friends, it was adorable. Then we went to a bbq at my friend's house where there were also a lot of kids. Kate was getting pretty tired by this time and tried to take one of the kids toys home....it was time to leave.

Kate likes a party!

This past weekend was my cousin Angela's wedding shower. It was a great cocktail party at a fun bar/restaurant. As we all know Kate loves a party. She had a great time seeing everyone and she especially appreciated the dessert table. She had so much fun and we got home pretty late. Tonight we decided to go out to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse that has sushi. Amazingly Kate wanted to try the sushi which I didn't think would go very well. I thought she would just spit it out but she liked it and ate 2 pieces of salmon roll. She also ate edamame, chicken, and rice. I think we may have added another restaurant to our list other than Buffalo Wild Wings. I guess Kate has sophisticated taste. We stopped at one of the many fireworks stands to get a few little fireworks. I thought Kate would enjoy some of the fireworks I liked as a kid. We bought some snakes that foam, sparklers, and the little pop things you throw on the ground. I'm not a big fan of amateurs blowing off big, dangerous fireworks especially around kids so we'll just have a few little ones.
