Standing Up, ABCs, and More

This week has gone by fast! Tate suprised us this week by pulling himself up and stood by the couch. He was so proud of himself that he forgot to hang on and fell right over. He is mastering his new skill and really likes to pull himself up by using Jared's leg hairs. I think it is hilarious, Jared... not so much! Here is a pic of our little guy showing off. Bentli successfully sang her ABC song all by herself and didn't miss any letters! We have been working on this for awhile, it was tricky because she doesn't like me to sing with her (she considers that help and heaven forbid that I help her). We are so proud of her for learning it!

I went through all the kids' clothes this week, putting away old clothes, and pulling out hand me downs that now fit. In those hand me downs were a pair of glittery, pink, princess shoes... every girl's dream. Bentli had to wear them right away. We went to Costco and as we were walking in, she told me, "Mom, my shoes aren't nice," sure enough little blisters were forming. It doesn't keep her from wearing the fasionable shoes, a true girl!

Love those shoes! And good for Tate! He's getting big so fast. Man. Where does the time go?

Naomi loves her shoes too. Right now she is obsessed with these lime green croc-knockoffs that we bought at 60% off at Joann's. Personally, I wish they were sparkly pink shoes instead, but o well.

Your kids really resemble eachother - you can definitely tell they were made from the same mold. They have the prettiest eyes and seem to have adorable characteristics and personalities too. I can't believe how big they've gotten. How are you guys? Liking Texas?

It's crazy how quickly these little munchkins hit milestones! Yay for Tate and Bentli! I love those shoes. They remind me of a red sparkly pair that I had when I was little.

Way to go Bentli! I remember being ecstatic when Sammi finally switcher HER version (ABCDEFGHIJKOOOOP...) to the real thing. Tate is such a ham!

It is amazing how it is ingrained in our girls to be so girly! Emily has pink and brown cowboy boots that she wants to wear everywhere!
