The Palmers: Ansley is walking!

The days just fly by because we always have so many fun things to do! Not too much is new...Sully started some swim lessons last week to get him ready for his summer at the pool...he LOVES it and is picking right back up where he left off last summer...I am confident that I will be able to work on him swimming across the pool this summer--after this session of lessons he will start Mommy boot camp! hahaha! Glad he loves the water SO much! Ansley and I started music class on Wednesdays a few weeks ago...she absolutely loves it and I look forward to some special time with my little Ansley while Sully is at school. Her class goes till the middle of May, so we always look forward to Wednesdays! Ansley is also starting to really pick up new words. We teach her sign language and watch the "Signing Time" videos that Sully watched at her age, but she sometimes prefers to just say the words! She will do the sign, but will also say the word (or at least close to it) It is crazy how many words she is picking up and how much she really tries to say the words...it is so cute to hear her say little words like cat, dog, book, cup, etc. She is growing SO fast!

More big news with Ansley...

We have finally hit the jackpot---Ansley is walking! I was so excited for her to start walking so we could really start enjoying the park...she now can toddle around at the park and not get so dirty and I don't have to worry as much about what she is crawling on! She was a bit late with her walking, but Ansley likes to do things in her own time, and so she has now decided it is quite fun to walk. Here are some cute pictures of her first days walking...

Hey guys, look at me! She is so proud of herself!

Go Ansley!

Concentrating very hard!

We are SO proud of our sweet Ansley Leigh and Sully is excited to see her walk...he loves to encourage her...and knock her down... :) :)

Last week we took another trip down to the Georgia Aquarium...always a fun day for the kids...Ansley LOVES it and LOVES crawling up to the glass...I gave up on worrying about all the germs on the floor and just let her crawl around...she appreciated me chilling out and letting her roam! :) Sully, of course, loved every minute! There was supposed to be a brand new octopus at the aquarium since we had been there last so we went on an octopus hunt and finally at the very end of the day found it in a corner of a tank! It was so fun watching Sully all day look around to find it...we were SO exicted to finally find it!!! Here are some fun pictures from the day.

My sweet angels

Can you tell from these pictures which one of my angels is the naughty one? :) :)

Look what I found, Sully!

Wonder what they were thinking?

We have had a TON of rain this past month, which has kept us from playing outside as much as we would like to...so, when it is nice we are always outside soaking it in...Sully's favorite thing to do these days is ride his bike with Matthew down the street...they are only 2 weeks apart...how lucky were we to move in 2 houses down from a buddy for Sully!!! Here is Sully on his bike...can you tell he hates getting his picture taken? :) :)

Mom! Just let me ride!

We took advantage of another rain-free day and met Brett at the park by his office for lunch...we got our Daddy fix and Brett got away from the office for awhile to play! Yeah! Ansley was enjoying hanging from the bars...these pictures are hilarious! :)
