Leo Goes to School

Today was one of those days that I knew would happen.  It was a milestone day for Leo.  He went to his first day of "playschool."  It's a co-op with other moms.  We trade hosting at each of our homes and on the other weeks, drop the kids off to do art projects, read stories, do circle time and to play.

Leo ready and so excited for school

He bravely went inside and sat in his place for circle time.  He is growing up, in just a few months he'll be 3.   He is our independent and joyful guy. 

Showing off his new Lightning McQueen backpack

 I went off for two whole hours to myself (oh, and to hang out with Amy, but still.).  I don't think I have ever had 2 hours to myself (without Heber watching Leo) in about 3 years.  This was a momentus (and much needed) occasion.  Should I be this excited about it?  It's been a long few months.

What did I do with this new freedom?  Nordstrom Rack, of course.  I live about 10 minutes away from a huge outlet mall and I basked in the few minutes to shop.  

When did he get this big?  I just love him so much.  He was the cutest and most wonderful little one there.

Sitting Up!

Our Amy is sitting up!  We don't know who is more proud, Amy or us.  She's become a new baby this week: sitting, rolling like crazy, reaching for everything.  We can already see that she is a determined little one that goes after what she wants.  She became such a big girl in the last couple of weeks. 

The First Haircut

Leo had his first haircut by a professional on Saturday.  This is pretty much what he did the whole time, poor guy.

 We did treat him to some ice cream to cheer him up a little. 

I'm sad to see his sweet baby hair to go.  He's growing up so fast.

Sitting Up

Hi, my name is Leo and I can sit up.

 The last few days he's been getting better and better at sitting up

He's still pretty good at this too.

Rolling Boy

 

On Tuesday morning, Leo decided that he knew how to roll from his stomach to back and started doing it.  He is now rolling everywhere.  Oh goodness.
