Getting too big

This morning I went to get Zach and he was on his knees in the pack and play. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, but it show how he was learning to pull himself up. We took the bassinet part out today. I can hardly believe it has been 9 months with him. He can now crawl and terrorize Rylie and Mason. He LOVES to stand up to the anything and looks especially proud of himself when he is standing. He eats vegetables now. He is a tease. He laughs at me when I tell him NO. He teases Mason a lot and still LOVES Rylie. Zach will grab Mason's toy and when Mason start yelling, Zach yells with him and smiles.

Ballet Performance

Rylie's recital was last Saturday. She was sooo excited to go on the big stage and wear her cute costume. They have been practicing their dance since January. The last week of class they gave their teacher a heart attach when they all forgot most of it. They did great the night of the performance.

Jacob asked several times that evening if he should get Rylie a boquet of flowers. I suggested that ice cream afterwards was probably enough for a 4 year old, but he kept bringing it up. So finally at intermission he decided it was a must. They were selling them at the auditorium so it was easy to run out and buy. Mason was just about as excited about giving Rylie her flower as Jacob was. All three of them have oohed and awwed over the single white rose for days now. I don't think anyone remembers the reason for it!

Joy School Graduation

We loved having Drake in our preschool. He is right inbetween Rylie and Mason, age wise, and a very fun boy. I loved doing Joy School with Bethany. It teaches so many good values that helped me know where to focus and what to teach my kids. We will be doing it again next year.
