Here I Come!

Kara got her first bike and loves riding around our neighborhood. It's been great to watch her catch on to the peddling and steering and become pretty independent with her riding.




One of her favorite things to do is ring her bike bell and say, "Here I come!"

On the Move

Ben took his first steps earlier in the month and now he's able to walk on his own for a short distance. He gets to his destination and proudly smiles.




So it's only natural that he picks up a basketball and...



...wishes he was a little taller or had some hops. Don't we all...

What did Santa bring?

Kara was excited about Santa this year and asked for only one thing.... a pink car.

Only in LA can you drive your convertible in January with a tank top and flip flops.

Ben's car is a little smaller....

Another favorite - Sleeping Beauty's dress complete with earrings. We're in trouble.

Happy New Year!!

Utensils, please!

Ben has decided that being in control is more fun, so sometimes we indulge him and give him his own spoon.

So far, so good....

Look, pretty good!

I told ya...

Birthday Celebration #3

Our final celebration was at Disneyland...

'Cause you only turn three once!

We rode on the favorites like Dumbo and the Teacups...

... and tried a few new rides.

Kara decided she is now old enough to take pictures with Mickey without Mommy and Daddy... our little girl is growing up!

Disneyland Souvenir

Kara loves the Sleeping Beauty movie and she likes to sing and dance to "Once Upon a Dream." So, now she can wear her Sleeping Beauty dress and twirl around.

And after three birthday celebrations, she is our sleeping beauty.
