Weekend in Minnesota

We went to visit The Jensen Family this weekend and we all had so much fun. We have a few things to report as well. On Saturday while Kevin and I were watching Tommy catch his first touchdown pass...which was awesome.....Auntie Mary was at home with Orion and felt his first tooth! That's right Orion finally has a tooth that poked through. We think we may even feel two of them poking through although he doesn't let us feel in there for very long. Orion ate his first french fries at BW3's on Saturday and LOVED them. He got the kid's meal of mac and cheese and french fries and ate almost the entire meal! His vocabulary has expanded to three words....Dada, Mama and JJ! We were at Jerod's soccer game on Saturday and he kept hearing everyone yelling "come on JJ" and he then said JJ! He said it today on the way home too. Here is a little video of the fun on the trampoline!!!

Delaney Grace

Orion and I went to visit our newest cousin today, Delaney Grace. She was born last Sunday and is absolutely perfect! I look lots of pictures for all the family that has yet to meet her. While I was holding her I kept thinking that it wasn't that long ago that Orion was a tiny little one... as he was crawling all over the place and trying to torture the cat. This first video is Orion dancing with Andy which was quite cute. The second two videos are short but Delaney didn't want to perform on command. She was doing the cutest thing, she was sucking on her tongue and of course when I got the video on she stopped and as soon as I turned it off she started again. Oh well, you can still she her video debut!

This is the first time Kevin and I saw Orion standing in his crib

Still standing......

We got out this table for Orion on Sunday and he loved standing up and playing with it.

He didn't really need my help but I like to be there just in case

Orion has been trying to crawl through the bottom of our coffee table for a few days now. Today he got both feet off the ground and then couldn't move any further. Although he was crying I had to get the camera because seeing those little feet off the ground is pretty funny!

The next milestone

Orion has reached the next milestone in his little life, he can now pull himself up to a standing position whenever he wants to. He has been trying to do this for a while now and just hasn't been able to get it. We can't believe that he can do this already! The last two pictures are from yesterday when he was playing, I put his ball in the compartment of his scooter and I thought he would drop the remote in his left hand to get it but he didn't. He managed to have a toy in each hand and the favorite strap in his mouth all at the same time.

Bless you

Orion sneezed this morning and when I said "Bless you" to him he started cracking up. So of course I ran for the camera and he continued to laugh. The strangest things set him off!

Zoo day

Orion and I went to the Milwaukee County Zoo this morning with Uncle Mikey and Hadley. We had a lot of fun looking at all the animals. I had a blast watching Hadley get excited to see the animals and can't wait until Orion is at that stage. For some reason I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, I guess I was too busy having fun!
