Mina on the Move

Our little baby Mina has been a very busy little girl. She was already very wiggly, but that just wasn't enough for her. At Christmas time she was only just able to sit up. On our Florida trip she got up an her hands and knees and rocked a bit. A week after coming home she not only started crawling, but also decided that she would go ahead and PULL HERSELF UP in her crib!! Rey walked in to get her from a nap and there she was standing up ready to be picked up. We had to drop the crib lower right away. We were definitely not prepared for her to reach that milestone at 6 months.

Now at 7 months, the girl is a pro! She can get anywhere she wants, sits and plays with her toys, and pulls herself up on everything! The baby swing, the carseat, the couch, her sister and brother... anything she can get her little hands around. Every now and then she can't find her way back down again and cries out for a rescue. If she keeps this pace up I don't know what I'll do. They grow up far too quickly!!

Daddy and Daughter - Mother and Son

January brought the start of something I hope we can continue. Lilly got dressed up and headed out with her Daddy on their Daddy Daughter Date. They went to see Tangled, and loved it! She and Rey came back happy and told us all about the movie. While they were gone Andrew and I played games and got some time together as well, but I didn't want him left out of outing either. So, at the next available time he and I got to have a Mother Son Date ourselves. After the glowing reviews, he wanted to see the same movie, so we went off to see Tangled as well. Really cute movie! It's better than cute actually, but it's so full of cuteness that the word can't help but be used to describe it. The Shepherds highly recommend this movie for everyone!

We haven't gotten the chance yet, but hopefully February will still have some room for some Mother Daughter and Father Son outings.
