Hollan Dance Pics - Bootleg Version

Hollan had her dance pictures on Thursday.  It was so exciting to wear her recital costume!

 This is where I got in trouble for taking pictures.  Of my kid.  Oh no you didn't just give me the hand, lady...

 Trying to have regular dance class after being all dressed for pictures was a bit like having me put on real clothes and full makeup and then making me sit around the house all day.  These gals wanted to do something BIG and be seen!

 A forbidden picture.

 So here are a few of the REAL dance photos that I took pictures of off the computer, hence the poor quality.  But after that lady gave me the hand, I had to find some way to stick it to her.

 Take that, lady.

 This picture is going to make it far in our family.

 Tiny dancer.

 I mean.  Come.  On.

 Not so much in the group shot.  Ha.

Reading Buds

Evan is reading up a storm these days.  One of Evan & Hollan's favorite things to do is to snuggle up together under a blanket and look at books.  Evan prefers reading to her since she can't correct him...less pressure to perform and it is a good confidence booster for him.  It's really so sweet.

Emmett - 10 Months

Happy 10 Months to our sweet Emmett!

Rocking his smoothie with a straw.

 "Walking" on the deck.  And not happy about the hat.

 This guy is getting harder to photograph since he doesn't want to sit still!

 Almost tragic.

Emmett is a mover and shaker these days.  He is still army crawling but he can make it across a room in record time.  The bottom shelf in the kitchen has been cleared out and is now Emmett's domain, filled with baby toys instead of decorative grass and framed pictures!  He loves to zoom around in his walker while snacking.  He is eating almost all solid foods and his favorites are greek yogurt and fruit, avocado and cottage cheese and  colby cheese sticks.  What can you do?  He likes dairy!  He is still our sweet, sweet man!
