New (and old) friends!

We got to visit with the Brooks family last weekend!  So fun to have them over for the day and introduce Gabe (9 months) and Lydia (just turned 1!).





Gabe's been pulling himself up on furniture, and Lydia is wanting to let go of furniture and stand on her own.  It was funny to see how excited we parents were about their respective triumphs in development (...as in:  I stopped Lindsey mid-sentence to exclaim that Gabe had just pulled himself up on the outside of the playpen and he'd never done that before and I had to get the camera (thank goodness Lindsey is a great friend and sympathetic new mom who understands the importance of stopping all adult conversation to exclaim at something profound and simply earthshatteringly brilliant your child is doing, haha!) and later both Lindsey and Thomas had separate outbursts of proud parenthood as they watched Lydia let go of her handhold on something and try to balance on her own).

Was a great visit with great friends!

How fun to see them. She is so cute. Gabe looks so big compared to her. She looks so petite. He looks like he's showing off a little in front of the ladies!
