The Arch- St. Louis

Here are a few pics from our recent trip to St. Louis. On day #1 we visited the big Arch.

In the elevator

The elevators were teeeeeeeny tiny! Good thing we aren't claustrophobic!

We took some pics on the way up. The ride lasted about 4 minutes.

The kids were so excited when we got to the top of the arch. This is Nathan and Madison looking out the windows.

This was the view from our hotel room.....directly across from the Arch.

Half Birthday

Today is Maddie's half birthday! Our big girl is two and a half years old.

7 Months old

And he's off!!! Nathan is crawling everywhere now! He turned 7 months this week and is very determined to keep up with his big sister. He is into anything and everything!

The kids

That time again.....

Time to lower the crib mattress! When I put Nathan down for his nap yesterday, rather than the usual silence, I heard squeals of delight. I peeked in to see Nathan standing up in his crib with a big smile on his face. He was so proud of himself for pulling up. Needless to say he ended up not even taking a nap because all he wanted to do was practice his new skill!

These are the last few pictures of Nathan's sweet, toothless smile. His first tooth has just started popping through!
