I can Stand! I can Play!

Miley is now getting herself up and standing next to anything she can climb up on to. She is enjoying playing with some of Nate's old toys like this learning Leap Frog Table, from Aunt Sydney, and a ball slide toy, from Grandma Smart.

She also loves playing with drawers and cupboards, which means pinched fingers here and there.

Here is Nate hiding from the camera because he is still in his PJ's and Miley crawling to Nate's room to play with him.

I am so grateful that my two kids play together so well. Nate loves having a little friend to play with and Miley admires and adores her brother so much. I love playing with the two of them.

The Metcalf's stay the night.

Friday night we had the honor of having the Metcalf's stay at our home for the night as they were on their way up to Utah. I say we had the 'Honor' because it's men like Justin who go to war when our country calls them. Men like him that help keep us safe and free here in America. Justin is on his way to Virginia to get training to then go to Afghanistan for a year of military service, leaving his family behind. Its people like Stephanie who bravely let their men go and put on a strong demeanor and raise there kid by themselves while dealing with the absents of the husband she loves. I want you both to know that we appreciate you and the service you are both giving to us and ever other American out there. We love you and our prayers will be with you. Thanks again for stopping by and saying hi to us and good luck.

Miley and Bath Time.

So this is a picture of the first time Miley got to bath with her brother. They had a really good time with the bath toys, splashing each other, and being really loud.

On Friday the 6th I got some water in the tub for Nate to take a bath. Miley was playing in the other room and heard the bath water. Well she kept trying to go into the bathroom. So I gave her a toy to distract her so Nate could bath by himself. It seemed to work. The phone rang so I answered it. I got talking on the phone to my Grandma Fonnesbeck, having a great time when I realized I heard Miley's voice echoing. I ran to the bathroom and his is what I found.

This was the first time since she started crawling that she has lifted her self up and got into a standing position. She wanted in the bath tub so bad. She kept trying to reach down into the water to splash. Nate was a good brother and said it would be OK to share his bath. They had a great time together.

When ever I do the laundry Miley loves to ride up in the basket up the stairs and onto our bed where she tries to help me fold them, or unfold them, I haven't figured out which she likes to do more yet.
