17 Months

Conner and Emma are 17 months old! They both crawl around everywhere! Every once in a while they will army crawl but not very much. Emma can sit really well now and does it a lot. Conner still can't, but he is really close! Emma can now pull herself up to standing against the couch or anything high enough. Conner can pull himself up to kneeling against the couches, boxes, etc. They still love to imitate faces too. It's pretty funny/cute. They definitely love the new house. They will crawl everywhere if we'd let them. Emma likes to play peek-a-boo. She used to and usually still does do it with one hand and look right at you while she's dong it and recently she has started to do it with both hands.


In some of these pictures we had to put Conner's hands behind him because he kept attacking 'Aulani's bear.

NICU Reunion

Yesterday was the NICU Reunion for McKay-Dee Hospital. They had it at a pool with toys for all of the kids and shallow water for the little ones like ours. It was a lot of fun seeing some of the doctors and nurses that took care of our babies and some of the families that we had met there too.

Here's a picture of Conner wearing his too big free T-shirt that him and Emma got.

Here's a video of them playing in the water

So tired after a long but fun day at the pool.

 

 

 

 

Bear Lake

Last weekend we got go to Bear Lake and spend the weekend at the cabin there. That weekend it was Raspberry Days so it was pretty busy.

Friday we didn't really do a whole lot. We got there in the afternoon and just hung out. Later that night most everybody went to the rodeo in a town down the road from the cabin. Here's a couple of pictures that I took of the view from the deck at the cabin.

Here's Katie with Emma who has a world class poker face.

Katie, Emily, Emma, and Kade who is only a few pounds less than Emma even though she's 14 months older than him.

Funny Dallas

Dallas would follow Gage wherever he would go, it was pretty cute

On Saturday we went to the beach. I wasn't sure how the kids would act in the water since they hadn't really played a whole lot in the water, except for their baths. But they loved it! Conner kept trying to crawl into the deeper water. No fear!

Funny Conner, making a face

I don't know how but somehow Emma got sand all over her face.

On Sunday we just took it easy and then came home around lunch time

On Sunday morning I came upstairs and found Dallas sleeping like this (his bed is the one in the picture and Tia and Blaise's room is through that door.
