Firsts

These girls have done several firsts these past few months...

Callie had her first ride in the Jeep this weekend. This makes me very nervous, but you can tell from davids face, this makes him very excited. the rule i have is they have to be sitting sitting forward in the carseat before they have their first ride. callie has just reached that milestone, and david did not waste any time getting her in there with him. i know it is a terrible picture, but you can see the fun david is having!

These next ones are Taylor's first gymmastics year. she just finished last week and she has loved every second of it! she met so many new friends and was so brave trying new things. it really did teach her some great balance and coordination. she is sad it is done for the summer, but i am sure she will be doing it again before too long!

stretching...

walking backwards on the balance beam...

and on the bars...

Callie had her first cookie a couple of weeks ago and i was such a proud momma! she has so many food allergies that anything new is a big deal, and this was so much fun! i had a lot of shopping to do in Publix and needed something to get me through. She loved it!!!

After the cookie face. she kept signing "more" for the rest of the grocery trip.

both the girls with their cookies...what a great day!

Taylor had her first month of swim lessons in May. You can see the hesitancy in this picture, but she got better every week and i am so proud of her for her improvements! i am thinking we will not be actually swimming for a long while, but i am happy with these small steps!

Oh, what a sad day this was. I took this picture on Taylor's last day of her first year of Preschool. These are her sweet teachers, Miss Ashley and Miss Michele. She loved both of them so much and still says daily that she misses them. they were so wonderful for her!
