Piper is crawling

Piper woke up on July 4th and decided she was going to crawl. I know she is 8 months old, but she just seems to small to crawl. I am not ready for her to start growing up and being more independent. I LOVE the baby, snuggly holding stage. Now that she can get around though, she is constantly coming over to me and crawling up on me and pulling on me to stand up. I think she will be standing and trying to walk in to time - but here is to hoping that it takes her a while to get it down ;)

Here is a video I took of my happy baby yesterday:

Swimming Lessons

My kids are LOVING swimming lessons this year. Lincoln has always had a fear of "the deep" but I think he is finally overcoming it. They are both doing so well and I am proud of their accomplishment so far!

A little late

Although Piper is 8 months old on Monday I wanted to finally share some of her 7 month pictures. I am normally really good at getting my babies pictures taken promptly when they are newborn, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo, and then every year after, but with her I was 1 month late. Tommy laughed at me because I stressed about being late with it. My excuse is that she wasn't sitting by herself until 7 months and I really wanted her to be. I guess all that matters is that I did get them done and I love them :)
