Pictures and a couple updates

I know I have been posting a lot, but here's some more. Aaron is on call, so I've been putting together a few posts. Sunday morning Aaron took some pictures of Amy. She had just woken up from her nap, so she wasn't too interested. I love the progression of the pictures.

That puppy dog, is her favorite toy right now.

Then Aaron took some of the kids

David has a pretty goofy smile

We got a few of the family.

I also wanted to record a few things the kids have been up to. Timothy's reading has really improved. He loves to read books on his own, but I wondered how well he could read. We were reading scripture stories as a family and during Timothy's turn he sounded out words like "bondage", "uncomfortable" and "domination". He still has trouble with writing legibly. His letters and numbers are often very large and some are often backward. But he's very willing to correct things.

Amy is saying a few new words. I may have mentioned these before, but I don't want to forget to write them down.
nana - banana - one of her favorite foods
dow - down - when she wants to go downstairs
mama - Mom - until about a week ago she didn't address me consistently, now she says "mama" when she wants my attention.

Amy is also attempting to jump. She can't really get both feet off the ground, but it's cute to watch her try.
