Mama and Daddy still can't get over how many new words I say each day. My brain is really working hard these days.
Mama got this video of me yesterday repeating the alphabet. She thinks I'm a genius, which is just fine by me. I stumbled with a few, but mostly got it down. Oh and Mama says pardon her voice, she's getting over a cold.

The first of many
Lots of new things going on with us! First of all, Mama got a fancy new camera and has been shooting up a storm. She kind of drives me crazy with it, but she says I'm easy on the eyes and she likes to take pictures of Jilly and I.
Also, I started school this week! I really love my teacher Ian and all the other kids. I especially like being able to sit at a big girl table and eat a snack by myself, even if it does end up all over me. Mama is having a hard time letting me go the whole day by myself, but I think she's going to take the plunge next week and leave me alone.
Jilly is turning three months old and is doing a lot of new things. She coos and smiles and likes to blow spit bubbles. I've been noticing her a lot more, especially all of her body parts. I like to identify them by poking her.
Mama and I have been enjoying some quality time together too, since she feels like she doesn't get to spend alone time with me very often. She took me on my first carousel ride and to the beach last weekend. I love our time together...and Mama really loves when I snuggle and give her hugs and kisses.
Enjoy the pics from Mama's new camera!

Cousin fun
I had such an amazing week with my Cousin Thea and Uncle Luke! They came all the way from New Jersey to visit us and it was wonderful.
We did so many things together including lots of park visits, the wading pool, Children's Museum and just plain hanging out in the backyard with the sprinkler. I loved having Thea here but I think I annoyed her at times when I grabbed toys from her and followed her around everywhere. I did love watching her dance shows though, she's got some great moves. Mama took Thea out for a date day and they got manis and pedis, can't wait till I have the patience, in about 20 yrs, to sit still in a chair and do that with Mama too.
I learned how to say "uncle" and just loved playing with my Uncle Luke. He was blown away by my energy level and said he now understands just how hard Mama has it with me and Jilly.
Here are some pictures from our adventures together and a video of us hanging out. I feel so lucky to have such a special cousin and Uncle!

Mike and Susie visit
I had such a fun week with Dada's Uncle Mike and Aunt Susie! They came all the way from CA to help us out and it was sure great having them here.
Uncle Mike really makes me laugh with his goofy sounds, peekaboo games and guitar playing. Aunt Susie took really good care of Jilly and I too, always there lending a hand when Mama needed it.
On the 9th, I turned 18 months old and Jilly turned 2 months old. We had an exciting outing to the pediatrician. Mama was very grateful that Mike and Susie were along to help out, we really did need all six hands. I've grown lots and Jilly is up to 10 lbs now. I've also added "Nayna" to my vocabulary which actually means Nina. I point to pictures of myself and say it. Pretty cool.
Here are some pictures of our week with the Sanders. We miss them lots!

Summertime fun
I apologize for the delay in posts, I've been SO busy the past few weeks! The weather is beautiful here in Seattle and we have been making the most of it. Mama says I'm in a way better mood if I'm outside, so we keep doing lots of things out doors.
Jilly just turned 7 weeks old and smiled for the first time. That made Mama and Dada very happy. She doesn't do much else yet. I'm saying lots of new words, almost something new everyday. I even learned how to say "no" and in the right context. I'm very happy I can now express my distaste for things.
Here are some photos from our recent adventures including fun with my friend Miya, some yummy ice cream that Uncle Bryant bought for me and a few pics of Jilly and I together. Mama keeps trying to get a good one of us, but we make it difficult for her.
xo,
Nina

Introducing....me
Jilly D here, I took over this post from my big sister so you could all get to know me too. I'm posting some pics of myself this time, Nina has monopolized this blog for far too long I think. She might sneak into a few though. I got to hang out with my Aunt Judi and Uncle Shel a lot and they were very cool. Aunt Judi even helped my Mama finish my bedroom and it looks really great. I also got to hang out with Nina's friend's new sister Laurel and we've become fast friends.
I'm 5 weeks old now and Mama says I'm a really sweet baby. I don't do a whole lot yet, but Mama and Daddy are enjoying just cuddling and snuggling with me.
You'll hear from me again soon!

Saggy diaper dance
It was just another night in our house, after dinner, before bathtime when Mama caught this video. Daddy and I were playing in the living room and he was trying to get me to do some of my dance moves. Thought I'd share.
