Lena's First Beach Trip Part 1

Lena putting her feet in the ocean for the first time. She did not know quite what to think.

We first sat on a blanket and just played with some toys.

Then we filled up our pool and splashed in the water.

Then I FINALLY let Lena play in the sand (I had to take baby steps). She loved it!! She just couldn't figures out what this stuff was on her hands and how to get it off.




I love this picture. She is such a silly baby!

Aunt Shannon was in Panama City so she drove over to see Lena on the beach for the first time!

Sign Language

When I was in the Infant classroom a few years back, Laura and I taught the kids sign language. The parents loved it and it really helped with communication before the children could talk. We have been working with Lena for about a week and she is learning"more". I'm not sure if she really gets the concept of what it means (cause she will look at us and do it randomly and smile) but we are working on it. Here is a video that Angela taped this weekend.

Something new everyday

Lena just seems to be learning something new everyday. She is all over the place now and into everything. You can't turn away for a second. She is also pulling up on everything now so you have to watch her extra close.

Today she figured out that the leaf on her jumper turns. Here is a short video. She is just so cute and truly amazes us how smart she is.

Lena is pulling up!

Our little Princess started pulling up by herself yesterday, May 23! She hasn't mastered it yet but is close. She amazes us everyday!

Always Dada's fault

Lena was trying to make it into the kitchen to eat her breakfast. She just wasn't in the crawling mood. And it was all Dada's fault (cause that is the only ones name she can say). This is the only time we have gotten her to say it on video.

Lena eating puffs

Lena is trying so hard to pick up the puffs and get them to her mouth. She is learning. :)

Lena is CRAWLING!!!!

Our little Princess started crawling Monday!! We are so excited but wish she wasn't growing up so fast. I will post more pictures later.
