millies therapy.

millies OT was moved to tuesday this week, instead of thursday.
here is one of her exercises... strength training on the ball for her core muscles.
she isnt a huge fan of the instability of being on the ball.
it will hopefully result in a sittingup little lady soon!
(her therapy sessions are going well. we are still trying to figure out her morning schedule for therapy days- the best time to eat and the best time to nap. a grumpy baby makes for a not so great session... and it increases the amount of stranger danger shown with the therapist. we will figure it out.)

day twentytwo: trees.

our new ikea prints in the living room!

a dinner party.

the invite.

welcomes & thank yous.
(paper cranes & paper fortune cookies)

no more new challenges please.

a perfect asian dinner party with my girlfriends.

i LOVE patterns and have so many that i would love to take photos of...
but this origami paper fits the day.
asian dinner party tonight!

a brunch.

We all got together this morning to have brunch with the Klenke family... they are back visiting from Michigan for a wedding this weekend. It was great to see them! And we were finally able to get all 7 babies together for a photo! I loved seeing them all lined up in a row... Millie has the sweetest little friends.

alice- 17mths / hudson- 14mths / corbin- 11mths / abby- 6.5mths / millie- 6mths
/ ella- 4mths / evelyn- 1mth.
(some are a little more or a little less, but close enough!)

a wonderful morning together...
especially since most of the babies took a morning nap at the same time!
