Standing

Brinley has now mastered standing up independently in the middle of a room. She has been pulling herself up on furniture and us for quite a while, but now she can stand up with out help and without holding on to anything.

She also discovered hoodie strings. She played with them forever one day!

She loves to blow bubbles:

She always tries to grab the camera:

And gets very upset if she can't have it:

She thinks its funny to stand with her swing and rock back and forth:

And she sings very loudly while in her little crib:

I am just in love with this face!!

Choir Performance

Tonight was Tristan's first Honor Choir performance. They sang 11 songs, and were accompanied by the instrument ensemble. It was awesome! Tristan did really well. There were a few spots were he looked a little lost, but that's ok. Cahl was even able to make it, having skipped a final at school! It was a lot of fun, and I am excited for the next performance.

Springs Preserve

We took the kids down to the Springs Preserve this morning. They love it there. Tristan took some fossils to trade at the little store. He wrote up a paper about them, what they are and where they are from. He took in 3 fossils, and he got 3,150 points for them! He was stoked! He uven used some of his points to get a little shell for Jasen.
