Swimming and Scooting

It has been forever since I posted anything but just in the last few days Rae has gotten the scoot down. I say it's a scoot because it is like a crawl but her stomach is still on the ground here is a video.

Also here is a video of my little fish swmming earlier this summer. She is doing a lot of the moving. When she gets excited she bites her lip and flaps her arms. I love this girl!

Life Update

So I am not super good about this blog thing, so I think it's about time for an update. This summer has been very busy. Our weekends are spent running around helping the family business and having visitors. Our weeks are spent catching up and getting ready for the next weekend.

Matt is still loving being a Real Estate agent! He is doing a great job following any leads that come his way. He has been soooo busy with work and trying to do house projects on the side. He just got to go to summer camp with our old church Waters Edge. He had so much fun!

Caeman got a summer haircut that looks GREAT! He LOOOOVVVEEESSSS it! I will have to post pictures- our computer has a virus and so I can't access pictures :-( Other than that he is doing super well!

Rae girl is 6 months old! I can't believe it! My mom says that she is VERY much like I was when I was a baby. Her favorite adjective to describe my babyhood and Rae's is BUSY. Rae is definitely always busy! She talks up a storm! She is eating baby food now which is so fun! She can sit up like a champ and she is REALLY trying to get the crawling thing down!! She's got the desire to be mobile but she moves more backwards than forwards. She's so much fun!

I am doing well. My mom and I went to visit my sister, Betsy last week. She is working at a summer camp- check it out www.swoutfitters.com. It was awesome to finally see the camp! Other than that I am running a linen service for the summer rentals which has kept me so busy washing and drying :-/

Life is good and is moving quickly at the Toller household!

Growin Girl

Rae is getting SO big- I can't believe it! Here is a video of some of her favorite things: jumperoo, bouncing, and talking.

At her 4 month appointment we got the ok to start the solid food adventure with some rice cereal- here is her first bite.

Summer is Concert season

So reason # 2337947 why we love living in Virginia Beach: CONCERTS! It is AMAZING how many bands come to this area! We got tickets to so many shows this summer with our best friends, John and Leah. So far we've been to Coldplay

And Matt Nathanson and David Cook
We have No Doubt, Paramore, The Fray, Doobie Brothers, Aerosmith, 311, and Ziggy Marley. It's going to be a GREAT summer!

Family Pictures

So we FINALLY went and got family pictures taken. Here are the best . . .

This is the CLOSEST to a smile that she gave the WHOLE shoot!

The Toller Family!

Love this little booty shot!

Cute

I LOOOOOOVE this picture!!

I feel like I should add that I have THE MOST AMAZING DOG IN THE WORLD! He was SOOOO good the ENTIRE time! I love Caeman!

SHE LAUGHED!!!!

So Rae has been giggling for quite some time but today she LAUGHED! Matt was SOOOO glad that he made her lol for the first time- here's a video of her laughing

Can't believe it!

I absolutely can't believe that our baby is already 3 months old! I'm having a crisis because that's a 1/4 of a year!!!! In no time she'll be running around the house! The amazing thing is that I am getting to enjoy EVERY second of it with her! Every day she's getting bigger and stronger. She's about 24 inches now and probably 12.5 lbs-ish. She's trying to sit up and can when propped up;

she LOVES to suck on her fingers, play with her tongue, blow bubbles and pull blankets to her face to snuggle; she's trying to roll over;

and doing push ups

she is trying SO hard to laugh and does grace us with lots of giggles and shreaks when she's super excited! Her feet are ALWAYS moving and she is very talkative!

I LOVE 3 months! It is SUCH a FUN age! Anyways, just wanted to give an update :-)
