Jade's Gymnastics Show

Jade had her first gymnastics show on December 12th. We were able to be down on the floor with her while she showed us everything she has learned. She did two circuits (obstacle courses) and jumped on the trampoline. It was then followed by an award ceremony. Jade was very proud of herself, and of her new leotard, an early Christmas present from Uncle Sean and Aunt Kathy.

Erica Crawls for the 1st Time

This was taken a few weeks ago. Now Erica is crawling all over the place. She also walks while holding on to furniture and stands without support. She has tried taking some steps by herself, but promptly falls flat on her face. She'll be walking in no time.

Who's who?

About three weeks after Erica was born, my cousin Tara gave birth to her daughter, Maggie. I don't know if it is just me, but their resemblance is uncanny. It's like a scene out of the Patty Duke Show or something. It will be interesting to see if the similarities continue as they grow. So, can you tell who's who? (answers on the comment section)

They finally decided to move the game outside.
