The Oldroyd Family

Pants & socks. Nathan & Alexa don't quite know what to do with them. They keep tugging at them like, "What the heck is this, Mom?" It would appear that fall is upon us. It was, however, 91 degrees yesterday so I'm not buyin' it. I'm predicting rompers & sun dresses by the end of the week. I'll give ya a little update on the chilins since I haven't done much of that lately. Neither of them are walking yet. Alexa is very interested & loves to show off her free-standing skills.

I told them to go say hi to Daddy, who was getting ready in our bedroom. Alexa started crawling towards the bedroom & Nathan followed her, then he stopped. She stopped and turned and looked at him. Then Nathan jabbered something to Alexa that sounded like a question. She said plainly back to him, "Daddy." To which he responded. "Oh." Then they both continued crawling to to find Daddy. It was so funny to witness this little conversation. In my mind, I think Nathan said, "Where are we going, Sissy?" And Alexa responded, "To find Daddy." Then he said, "Oh, ok..." Off they w...

This is one I took of Nathan a few weeks ago. He's showin off all of his tricks! The kid loves to play peek-a-boo! I took this of Alexa today. She loves to walk but can't do it on her own. Luckily she got this toy for her birthday! Thanks Ashcraft Family!
