I know that it has been a long time since I have posted anything. I was just looking at my list of post and there are a lot that I forgot to post almost a year ago. I am going to post them anyways just for those (grandparents) who care. I have lots of pictures to bombard my blog with. Hopefully it won't take me another year to add them to my blog..
About a year ago, maybe longer, Umpa (Tyler's dad) found a power wheel at a job, and they were going to throw it away. Umpa decided to take it and give it to Lizette. It wasn't working so Tyler was able to fix it. He even modified it so instead of having a 6 volt battery he put in a 12 volt battery. Needless to say it goes pretty fast but it is a favorite toy around our house. Lizette likes to do "tricks" on it. The other day she said, "Look! No FEET!" It was really funny. Then she wanted Anders to ride with her. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. FYI- Tyler was right there even though you can't see him in the picture.
Lizette took swim lessons this month with her best friend, Penny. Lizette loved going to "swim school" as she likes to call it. Her class was all girls. The swim instructor David had his hands full. Lizette did really well, she is such a little fish just like her Dad. I was a little worried, because this was her first time taking lessons without one of us in the pool. Luckily, she had her best friend Penny in the class. Lizette did so great. I was worried that the teacher wasn't watching her close enough because she spent most of the time underwater. She was on the step trying to swim with her head underwater and kicking her legs and moving her arms as if she was doing laps. I am glad that she enjoys the water and that she has so much confidence. Anders enjoyed the water sprinklers at the pool. Maybe next year he will be taking swim lessons as well..
Anders had his first taste of solids when he was a little over 6 months. I knew it was a pain to feed a baby solids, I just forgot how annoying and almost unbearable it was. As to be expected he didn't like it at all. It took a really long time for him to like any food. Now he is doing a lot better. Thank goodness.
