Juli & Co.

sissy enjoyed the new little swing that her paw-paw hung out on the breezeway just for her. so, we spent much of memorial day weekend relaxing outside and enjoying the fresh air and taking turns pushing sissy back and forth.



she especially loved it when lukey would come by and give her a little ride. or, as shown in the picture below, "twisty" her up and make her spin. and i think lukey got a kick out of that as well.



i love this little smile she's giving luke. she thinks he's just the absolute coolest and just loves her big brother. one of the best things about being a mom up to this point has been watching the relationship grow between lukey and sissy.



and in other news, sissy is pulling up and cruising around on everything. she loves to walk around holding onto my fingers so it won't be long until she's walking. what am i going to do?



and one of lukey giving out kissies.



and then one of grandma playing 'pat-a-cake' with sis.

luke had his first soccer game today and he did SO good! I am so proud of my little soccer man. I was a little worried (shhhh) about how things would go, but he got right out there and chased the ball and played his little heart out. and, he especially liked the juice and snack after the game. we can't wait for next week!

here he is in action. go lukey!





here he is taking a break.



and what was olivia doing during all this, you ask? oh, you know, a little of this, a little of that.



stop with the pictures already!

...olivia said "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma" today. she was pretty upset that i was holding luke and walked right past her instead of picking her up. she threw her hands down and said "ma-ma-ma-ma!" luke and i both started laughing. when i asked her to say it again she said "da-da-da-da-da-da-da". go figure.

and while i'm at it (and because i am terrible at updating the baby book) olivia cut her first teeth at six months exactly. both bottom teeth popped through at the same time. the two top teeth (her vampire fang and the one next to it) have both just barely cut through and the other side is swollen and looks like she'll get her other vampire fang any day now.

one of my new favorite images of olivia. she is constantly knawing on something these days. it looks like she's getting all six of her top teeth at once, so i don't blame her.
