A rainy Saturday

Amanda has been practicing her crawling over the past few days. Slow and steady. She goes a little bit then backs off. Luke, on the other hand, dove right into crawling once he started on May 30. Before he started crawling, he started pulling himself up and standing. Again, he really "goes for it' while Amanda is more cautious. Luke has had a few bumps and bruises to show for his standing/crawling acrobatics! Now we've noticed he's gotten the hang of balancing and how to catch himself a little better. Hopefully this means we'll have less boo-boos!

Some of their favorite things:
Luke - lloves doggie! He naps and sleeps with doggie. They are pals and doggie is probably Luke's first "favorite toy" He also loves playing the "Ahhhhh" game. He mimcs us going "Ahhhhhhh" and gets a kick out of that. Did we mention his first crush? At about 6 months old, when he started daycare, he and Miss Danyelle REALLY hit it off. It just so happens that Miss Danyelle has a baby girl about 1 month younger than Luke & Amanda. Her name is Jada them getting married has already crossed our minds! :)
Amanda - loves to wave! She has been waving now for a couple of months. It's even been referred to as the "Queen Mum" wave. It is a very cute wave. She likes to wave at people and also uses a lighter wave in the direction of things she's interested in or wants to get closer to. At about 7 or 8 months I'd say we came up with a couple of her first favorite games. BIg grins and chuckles when Mommy carried her and Daddy followed her around. We do it to a beat "ba bum ba bum ba bum. . .". When Daddy holds her she likes Mommy to play Peek A Boo!
