Fourth of July Piggies

How cute is Miss Anna???? These two shots are from the Fourth of July celebration that we attended at the park near Grandma's house... I was so happy that for the first time ever Anna let me do her hair in pigtails and then put in bow barrettes. I had a set ready for Miss Lily also but she wasn't really in the mood for me to try to do her hair (the little that she currently has at the moment).

We had a fun time even though the heat was truly opressive.. not long after the parade was over (we entered with a decorated wagon) we played on the playground and then retreated to Grandma's to cool off from the heat.

She did it!!!!

The she being Anna and the it being Crawling forwards. She's had Backwards down for a little while now and had been working on getting the coordination going to get herself going forward. Well she did it today.. while we were at a playgroup at the Family Network. I doubt if I've ever been prouder of one of my girls. The funny thing is that she did it on the bare floor at first and I immediately thought she's just sliding herself forward.. not a big deal but then she made it onto the carpet and kept going. I was so excited I went and got the director of the Network to see my girl in motion. It was quite the celebration.. now we need to get Lily mobile. Hopefully it won't be too long for her to get the hang of it and then I will most probably will be needing to split myself in two to keep up with both Anna and Lily.
