Lily talks to me all day long in a loud voice. She is not one to be ignored! Her vocabulary is amazing, and she wants to use it. Lily and Max are best of buddies most of the time. They play all day and sometimes end up laughing in a tangled heap on the floor together. Of course they still bite or pull eachother's hair occasionally if necessary! Lily also still loves her blanket and her baby, Gina, (her doll) a lot. She is very motherly to Max and to Macy. We are potty- training this week and she has gone two days in a row without an accident, so I am excited to have only two in diapers soon instead of three!!










Cool big brother Alec

Alec is in 2nd grade now. He had a fun summer with all these babies, but now he is ready to go back to school and have some friends his own age!! Alec has been taking karate this summer and loves it! He will be testing for his junior yellow belt on Saturday. Alec also spends a lot of time drawing. He earned some money this summer doing chores and got some Heely's (shoes with a wheel in it). He also got some roller blades for finishing a math program that he has been working on for over a year now almost every day. He takes to all wheeled things quickly and has had a lot of fun with his new toys. Okay, this first picture is not the best of him, but he loves holding Macy and sharing a room with her. He confessed to me recently that Macy was his favorite one. I was surprised and asked him why Macy was his favorite. He shrugged as if it was an easy decision and said, "Well, she's the softest and the cutest, and she always smiles at me whenever she sees me." I guess that's a good enough reason!
