Going into the recital Amelia had decided that she was done taking dance classes and wanted to try something else. Since the recital she has practiced her dance everyday and is constantly telling me she still wants to do ballet classes.
What you can't see in the video is that her teacher is standing in the wings doing the dance, which is why she is often looking to the side.
We're proud of our girl for doing something she was scared to do, and doing it so beautifully.
Even though this picture is not the best I wanted to capture Henry sitting on his knees...which he does often, because I just think it's so cute. He likes to sit this way when he is figuring something out.
Miles just started his first swim lessons, which he LOVES. Though, his teacher is constantly asking him to stop splashing the other students, stop spitting water at the other students, hold onto the side, stop going under the water when she doesn't want him to, etc. But, I think she thinks he is cute, because she kissed him on the cheek last week.
Even though the video is long, it's worth the wait...the part at the end where chris asks the kids random questions is darling.
Miles LOVES superheroes. I don't understand his fascination with all things Batman and Spiderman, though thank goodness Chris does. He recently attended a birthday party and came home with this adorable cape...which he wears quite often around the house. You can see Amelia is also sporting a girlier cape, which Chris and I made last year.
Henry turned 1. Fastest year of my life. He is such a joy to have in our family. Here are pictures of his birthday party...a small little party at our house. He really enjoyed his cupcake.
A few things about Henry:
likes to pretend to talk on the phone
waves hi
shakes his head yes and no - in correct response to questions
thinks his brother and sister are the BEST, and follows them around
loves being outside
loves to eat sand
likes to eat apples whole
loves soy milk
loves his daddy more than anything else in the whole world
Amelia's been getting ready for her first ballet recital. Here she is during practice. She's met so many friends through ballet, and had such fun with them each week. Here's a little peak at the recital piece.
My family came down in May to celebrate Miles and Henry's birthdays. We walked down to the beach, opened presents and had yummy Mexican food. It was a great day.
