Firsts

This has been a summer of firsts for our family- mason's first skateboard for his first graduation present

Mason's (and Mommy's) first float down the river. By the way, that is Esme. The girl, he says, he will one day take to WV to marry, when he gets big, of course.

Cece and her first favorite toy

Then, we all watched, during the span of a couple of weeks, Cecilia go from stationary baby, to sitting baby, to crawler, to standing baby. I couldn't believe all the stages that came back to back. I thought each one was a fluke, until she repeatedly performed each feat, surprising us all.
