Busy Weekend

So it has been a while again since I've updated. Mostly I need to get Selah's latest "accomplishments" in here :) She now blows kisses when she says goodbye and most times doesn't even need to be cued. She also knows the answer to "what does the snake say?" to which she responds with a slobbery "sssss" She still is just walking around furniture, but no walking on her own yet. She also gives some great fully open-mouthed kisses now too :) We are loving every minute and looking forward to her birthday party in a month.

I have been sewing a little at home. I made her the dress pictured below and am in the process of making her a skirt for this winter. Grandma L. helped a lot and we got her birthday outfit completed - it is a super cute tutu and t-shirt...stay tuned for more pictures!

Besides that, we had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday we got to travel to Mathessein Park/Starved Rock with friends and spent the day hiking and eating a picnic lunch. We took Addy and Brooks with us and Selah did great. She loved riding in the backpack and looking all around. She just talked and talked the whole time! Sunday we went on a double date with my "sister" Jod and her husband Drew. It was a great night to catch up with friends. And Monday we even had a great day of weather and got to take the boat out with more friends. We can't help but reflect at how blessed we are!
