Birthday Fun and Big Steps...

My little sister, Tori, turned 13 on Sunday. We celebrated her birthday this past Saturday. (Originally planned for LAST Saturday and then she cancelled and rescheduled just a few hours before.) I am amazed when looking at all the pictures I took Saturday night. She looks SO grown up. I remember the day she was born and of course, every day in between. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. She is officially a teenager and is officially ACTING LIKE ONE. :) Haha.

The weather was absolutely gorgous and I think the baby boys enjoyed soaking up the sun just as much if not more than the teenagers who attended ;) Here are some pictures I took at the party...

Playing his fav, ball.

Happy Birthday Tori. We love you!!!!

I know I posted a while back about finally getting Tuff a booster so he could sit at the table like a big boy. Well, he LOVES his chair. He has come to a stage where he wants to do everything by his self. Including feeding his self. I know I'm "supposed" to let him do this at this age anyways but usually when it's something really messy, I try to feed him. Lately, there is NO WAY that is happening. He demands to do it his self. If I even get near him or his bowl while he's eating, he points in the living room and says "Sit!" He wants me to go sit down and leave him alone. Oh me. My little boy is taking big boy steps more and more every day. Here is a shot of him eating his spaghetti and garlic bread on Tuesday night. As you can tell, he is so proud.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. I am so glad it's close to being over.

Enjoy your Thursday!!!
