Ben's Birthday Party

The party was a blast! We played with a metal detector, water balloon hot potato and a bean bag bucket tag game. Then we watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs in our apartment building's theater. We had so much fun with our friends!

This was the cake Ben chose at Safeway. Simple and colorful this year.

The After Party

Ben's Birthday Breakfast

Ben loves Ihop's smiley face pancakes so we tried to reacreate the goodness the morning of his birthday. His special request for a birthday dinner was Ramen!

He's 7!

Anna's Baby Gym

Anna loves to look at her octopus. She gave it the first initial reaction she gave her monkey we keep in the car. She smiled, laughed and talked up a storm. Then when she didn't get any reaction, she got angry and cried. Now she stares at it without blinking and sometimes cries.

2 months old!

Anna had her 2 month check-up. You can see her little Hello Kitty bandaid from her vaccinations on her thigh. She weighed in at 15 lbs and is 3 1/2 inches taller from birth making her 24 inches long. She is near the 100% in every measurement:)

Smiling in her sleep...

Sunday Afternoon

Tried to get them both to smile and this is the result.
