What we've been up to...

Thomas is getting...well, I guess still is...big. He's scooting around everywhere right now. He pulls his knees underneath him and pushes all over his blankets and crib. He also is still smiling at everyone.


He's getting better at sitting, but isn't quite strong enough to hold himself up.


He's a pretty wild sleeper, too. I found him like this one morning. Somehow during the middle of the night he worked one arm out of the top of his sleeper, got the other one stuck inside, flipped the whole thing around, and wrapped a blanket around his head... I'm still trying to figure this one out...


And, of course, he loves to play with his sister! Here she is stickering him.



I was able to catch a little laughing on video while Lilian was outside with her daddy one day.



And, of course, Lilian is as cute as ever! Here she is during a "tour" of downtown Asuncion.



For those of you who saw my facebook status, these are the shorts. One day after tutoring, I came home to find our babysitter had put a pair of Thomas's shorts (that were too small for him) on Lilian. Look how perfect they fit her!


Thanks to her cousin Laney, we also have some ballet clothes to play in. She enjoys doing barre exercises.


...If I can keep her still enough, that is...


Here is a video of Lilian singing (something) and dancing with two little princesses made from playdoh. She is pretty dramatic at times. She would sing a few lines and then want to see herself--to make improvements in her performance, I'm sure! (Sorry for the no clothes--In Lilian's new phrase: "It's hot out there!")

I just got caught up with pics of the kids. They are so adorable! I can't believe how big Thomas is! He looks like such a happy, cuddly little guy. The picture of him getting all twisted in his sleeper and sheets made me laugh so hard. Poor guy getting stickered! I could see Abigail doing something like that to anyone that couldn't get up and walk away. And Lilian is just a beautiful little girl now. Precious. Wish we were close enough to come over for a coffee party too :). Love y'all!!!
