Rolling both ways

Mira Belle started rolling from her belly to her back and then back over again. We're making progress. By the way, the romper she has on is a size 6-9 month and she'll be 6 months next week. I think it's time for 9 and 12 month clothes! Pia was just in 3-6 month clothes at this age. Polar opposites already.

Pia decided to ask the question, "Why?" for the 1st time this morning. Unfortunately, it was why she can't stand at the counter and eat her breakfast instead of in her booster seat. I feel a goose egg coming soon.

93 Degrees in April?!


We're trying to get some more grass growing...

so Pia put in a hard days work with the spreader.

Finally a dip in the pool to cool off.

Of course, Mira Belle wanted to join in the fun.

Then the girls enjoyed the swings that Daddy put up for them.

Pia - 20 Months

Pia is 20 months old and growing fast. She is now talking very well and unfortunately it's not always what you want to hear. 'I can't open it,' 'i do it myself,' 'no, stop it' are some of her favorites. She very independent and strong willed. Sometimes it's amusing and sometimes it just pushes your buttons. All in all, it's fun watching her learn and grow.

Pia's Wooden Shoes

Pia loved the wooden shoes that Grama & Pop got for her in Holland. Perhaps alittle too much.

Who Knows

Pia is certainly getting more and more... entertaining?

Pia's new found talent

Pia has become very good at whining. It's so endearing.

Easter 2009

Easter morning brought Pia a basket and Mira Belle a activity center for the patio.

The girls looked so pretty in their Easter outfits.



Pia enjoyed some of her spoils after dinner.
And Pia enjoyed playing with her Easter present with Nanny and Aunt Addie.

Mira Belle - 5 Months

Mira Belle is doing great at 5 months old. She does belly time like a champ and is always trying to sit up on her own. She loves her sister and telling us all sorts of stories.




And she loves the bouncer.

She is really starting to get her hand-eye coordination down. She loves her play table toys.

Big Girl Swing

Pia decided that she only wants to go on the big girl swing at the park.



Mira Belle and Molly love the park, too.

Rainy day

Before we had to close the back yard to the girls, we let Pia use her new swing set. Soon construction will be done and we'll have a great yard!
