October 2017 - Ella's first band performance

Ella's first band performance:...The best part was that Ella told us she had a surprise for us and turned out she wrote (as part of an assignment) about what one of the songs sounded like to her and gave a description and the teacher chose a few of the best ones for students to read before they played the various songs and hers was one of them and she happened to be the first one to speak. I was so proud of her speaking so well. The song was Crusaders March and she said it sounded like an army marching into battle:)

October 2017

Any animal Piper sees (dinosaur, cow, pig, horse, dog) that I ask her to make the sound for she'll say "meow!" With the exception of a few like ducks, and sometimes crows (caw caw!-this came from the Kamikawas). And she says da da whenever I ask her to say mama.

Keira practicing her piano one morning lets her little sister in on the action. So sweet!

Hanging out at the open space while waiting for Keira to walk home from the bus stop has become a thing when it's nice out.

Piper eats a protein bar.

Impromptu park visit and first try at a selfie together makes us both happy. I tried to encourage her to walk to the bridge at Bothell Landing but she wouldn't do it until she found some adorable dogs to follow. Fortunately she was distracted by the ducks before following the dogs all the way home. She walked all the way back to our car after watching the ducks as if to say she was ready to go home.

Grocery shopping produce bags are fun...until they're not because our nice friend Laurie Patterson tried to make Piper laugh by popping the bag but it backfired.

My parents went to Canada and all I got was this shirt! Moose says meow!

​Erica took the last one of Piper while Travis and I were in Victoria, Canada. She's getting ready to brush her teeth.

June 2017 - First steps and more

June 12, 2017 - Piper took a step a week ago at a wedding reception reaching for a table and didn't repeat it again until yesterday when hanging out with Erica and Travis upstairs. Then she went for it a little while after one step and took four steps to mom. Good times.​

Ella the dog. Pi enjoyed trying to pet her. No fear.

Spent time with Madison and Bailey.

Piper's look says it all...she knows she shouldn't be snooping around her sisters room but they're both gone!;)

While mom and dad went to the Sounders game Piper got to take a nap with grandma.
