Canton was lucky enough to spend his FIFTH birthday not only with Nanny and Rhonda, but he also got to bring in treats for his friends at school.

We have greatly enjoyed his time at his preschool. They have a great accepting format that has allowed him to explore his own interests while gaining social skills. We had a nice time making a banana UFO and handing out space party favors.

Liberty is up to eight steps, if she would just stop clapping for herself and walk she would have it down by now 🙂

We are so lucky Nanny and Rhonda came up for two whole weeks! They were here for tee ball, Canton’s birthday, and lots of other fun! Can’t wait until they come back in July!

Dad worked hard on the present this year, with Cantons leadership of course! A bench with the kids handprints!

My big man is FIVE tomorrow! We made some astro glasses 🙂

In case you forgot, here is the last day being 1 http://themurphyfam.com/?m=20110512

She has taken up to three steps by herself several times!!

Miss Liberty continues to grow and move. On 5/4 she took three steps! She was quite proud of herself and VERY wound up! Rhonda and Nanny were here to witness her moving and dancing all over the place! I probably shouldn’t wish for her to start walking, I will soon be running after her!

Her personality is coming out, and with is, quite a temper! She is the sweetest baby until she can’t have/get to something she wants, then watch out!

No teeth to report on again, but she loves to drink from her cup and feed herself bananas. She likes yogurt but pears and oatmeal are still her favorites. She is not a fan of meat and we have to work really hard for her to eat most combination dinners.

Liberty loves to play, especially stacking and nesting. She’s also enjoying getting into the kitchen cabinets! 🙂

Can you believe she is almost a year old?!

Canton had his first Tball game experience! The day started with opening day ceremonies where he was introduced with his teammates, then pictures, and then the first game!

He seems to like being in the field. He actually fielded the first play of the game! He hit the ball off the tee both times at bat, so next step is working on coach pitch. He seems to be a smart base runner but we definitely need some sprinting drills! 🙂

He’s so glad to have had his very own cheering section straight from Palm Bay! 🙂

9 weeks to 52??? Yay for visitors today!

Liberty is starting to stand up by herself without pulling up! She gets so proud of herself! So cute! Will she walk by Canton’s birthday?? I shouldn’t hope for that, she’ll be off and walking soon enough, and I’ll be running! 🙂
