Many Milestones

I'm catching up with the blog after not posting for nearly a month and a half, and I've realized that Theo's developed a lot during that time. Here are a few of his accomplishments I've captured:

Outgrowing his basket and moving to the baby bed

Sucking his thumb, growing more hair, and cutting two teeth

Blowing raspberries, rolling, jumping, grabbing, and finding his toes

Last Lighthouse

Alathea has been going to our church's toddler group every Thursday morning since she was a baby in my arms:

so I felt a bit sentimental this week while capturing her last time at Lighthouse for the annual Teddy Bears' Picnic:

With her bear (who dressed up for the outing--Thanks for the doll clothes, Grandma E!)

This year's "leavers" with their parting presents.

Sports Day

A few highlights from Sophia's Sports Day this year. PE is not her favorite part of school, but her teacher chose her as the girl in her class with the best effort and attitude throughout the day.

Energizer Birthday

Sophia had a grown-up birthday experience this year, receiving her biggest gifts at practical times, which didn't happen to be on her actual birthday. She received much-desired ballet lessons with the appropriate gear. Then Daddy treated her to Coppelia, a ballet only showing in our town at the end of May. Finally, on her actual birthday, she enjoyed special food, her best friend plus Grandma and Grandpa, and a few more presents!
