It's been a pretty good month for us. Lily is finally getting some teeth. They are learning new tricks all the time. They love to stand up and lean against furniture, and stuff. They cruise around pretty well that way. They haven't figured out crawling yet, but Melissa and I are certainly ok with that. They are eating fruits, vegetables and even a little meat. They are doing great and are a lot of fun.

Nyuck, nyuck. Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. (The two stooges.)

Sometimes he looks so old to me. He is a happy little fellow.

Lily is a crowd pleaser. She loves to smile.

This may not look like much, but Griff is actually clapping here. If he's in the mood to perform he will clap when someone says "yay" to him. It's pretty fun. By the way, that's my shirt, from back when I was a baby, that he is wearing.

As far as we know, this is the first time that Lily pulled herself into a standing position. It was pretty cool, and she is obviously pretty excited about it. She can also wave at people and she tries pretty hard to say "Hi." It mainly comes out as "huh" or "heh", but I appreciate the effort.

Griff and Aunt Sarah at the pool. Griff was quite a little fish. He loved splashing around and playing in the water.

Lily also loved her first trip to the pool.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!"

Griff really enjoys being airborne. Lily, not so much, but Griff would let me do this all day long.

She is a huge fan of applesauce. And she loves squash and sweet potatoes.

Here are the kids at one of Uncle B's games. They are true fans.

They're getting big. They've nearly grown out of their seats.

Griff is getting ready for the Christmas pageant at the end of the year. He's going for one of the wise men, but I think he has a real shot at Joseph.

Griff has been working out all spring to be ready for the babes at the pool. As you can see, he's pretty ripped.

Lily is just lounging by the pool, putting out the vibe.

She looks like a little monkey in this picture. The way she's been cruising around she kinda acts like a little monkey these days.

Just a little playtime.

Griff is getting ready for the summer holidays.

Are we done taking pictures yet... please?

Griff is growing teeth at an alarming rate. He's got four in the front and a molar in the back. At this rate he's going to have two or three rows, like a shark.

This is what I imagine she'd look like if she was going throught the trash or something. I don't know why. Her face just seems to say, "Back off, this is my dumpster."

"Yeah, these are all mine. Oh, you think tough guys don't play with stuffed animals? They're my friends. We were doing just fine until you showed up anyway. You got a problem with that? I didn't think so."

And... goodnight!
