She's Crawling!

Baby girl is really crawling now and she loves it. Whitney, on the other hand, doesn't like that Lindsey can "get her" or her toys...and so it begins...

Party Time!

Our new friends Jordyn and Sydney had their two year birthday party at Pump It Up yesterday after our pumpkin patch excursion. Needless to say, Whitney was a tired little girl at the end of the day.

Pumpkin Time

We went to a pumpkin patch yesterday with our friends, the Fowlers. It had animals to pet and feed, a hayride to the pumpkin patch, a hay tunnel and a big hay stack to climb. All very fun!

More City

Yesterday we went back into the city. As they do this time of year, the nice, pretty days to be outside are dwindling away, and since it was cold and rainy, we chose an indoor activity. We wanted to go to a museum of some sort, but they all closed around 5pm and we couldn't get in the city til about 3, so that didn't work. But, we did go to Toys R Us in Times Square! It's three floors of toy goodness and has a huge ferris wheel in the middle. Whitney was amazed at all the toys and we had a good time seeing what all she was attracted to. Her favorite things were a grocery cart and a large train set. She played with the train for about 20 minutes. We also rode the ferris wheel. The first time she had been on one, I guess for Lindsey too, and the first time Ben and I had been on one in YEARS. I don't even remember the last time I have been on one...Anyway, she loved the ferris wheel too, but as most things are with her, things get old very quickly and there was a lot of starting and stopping so it got old pretty quickly for her. We were there for a couple of hours, then went to eat dinner at a place called 5 napkin burger...delicious! We've eaten at three different places in the city and all have been fabulous. Ben made the point though, would we really be gushing over the food if it were in, say, Idaho somewhere? Regardless, the food has been tremendous!

Lindsey-6 Months

Lindsey is 6 months! She is side sitting and getting around, not crawling yet, but scoots her knees up under her then launches her arms forward and rocks back and forth on her belly. That's how she gets around. It's pretty funny to watch. She weighs 17 pounds and is 27 inches long. No teeth yet, but she's drooling non stop, so they are on their way! She still just smiles all the time and loves watching her big sister. Whitney loves entertaining her and playing peekaboo with her. We love watching the two of them together. It's a small glimpse of whats to come. Can't wait to see them interact more and more...

Fun at the Funplex

We went to play at an indoor game place last week. They had lots of games, bumper cars and a foam ball area to run around in. When got 70 tickets from the games and got a little slinky! Can't believe that's all it cost! :) Anyway, it was her first time to drive bumper cars...she gave it about 2 minutes and then was done. Pretty cute to watch though!
