Goodtimes

This last month has been really fun! We have had great weather and been able to spend a lot of time outside. The photo album has a lot of pictures including: soccer games, a trip to the zoo with Nana and Papa, Sara's Gymboree class (which she loves) and a trip to the Children's Museum.

Will has started his soccer league. He seems to be slightly more focused than this past fall, but not much. He looks forward to the games and has fun running around and at snack time, but we're not seeing World Cup in his future... yet. :-) In other news, Will went to his first Pacers game with Daddy. Nate won a pair of tickets in really good seats so they went and stayed until halftime. Will also got his first foam finger. Pacers #1!! Well, not really, but that is what the finger says. Another interesting milestone is Will is not taking a nap everyday anymore. This isn't surprising, really, but the days where he doesn't take a nap can get kind of crazy around supper time. We're still working on this one.

Sara has added walking to her list of things to do! See the previous post for a video. She isn't walking exclusively, but she is doing it more and more and seems to be enjoying herself. Other news with Sara: She mostly takes one nap per day (YEA!!!), she is working on a few different teeth coming in (ouch) and she is constantly nodding her head yes or no (mostly accurately) if you ask her a question. It is ADORABLE!!! I need to get this on video to post here. It is so funny.

We've got a walker!

These past few days Sara has really started walking a lot. She is still crawling a lot too, but she has been practicing getting herself to standing in the middle of the room and then taking off. She is so proud of herself. It is adorable! She must be doing pretty good if she can walk through the minefield of toys that are out today. :-)

Easter and other things

I updated our photo album with pictures from Great Grandpa McComas' birthday party, Easter weekend and a few other random pictures thrown in. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the kids in their Easter clothes! I fully intended to get one of them standing with their Easter baskets. Maybe next year. We do have nice picture of the four of us though.

For those of you waiting for a Sara walking update... she's getting closer! She is taking a lot more steps and can go halfway across a room, but for some reason chooses not to unless we talk her into it. On Easter she developed a crawling technique where she lifts her rear end high up into the air and crawls on her hands and feet only to avoid crawling on her dress. I should have taken a picture of that! She has really started talking a lot lately. She tries to repeat a lot of words which is fun.

Will has been spending a lot of time outside and likes to try to get Sara to walk to him. It's really sweet. We signed Will up for 2 day per week preschool for next year. He is VERY excited!!! He seems to know a lot of the the things they will be teaching next year (letters, numbers, etc.) but we are looking forward to him working on sharing with other kids, taking turns, listening to a teacher, going to the bathroom by himself (this will be fabulous), etc. I am also looking forward to spending some one-on-one time with Sara. It will only be a couple hours, but it will be nice.
