Daily Video: Crashing Tower

So just before this video was taken for several minutes Mommy meticulously built this really neat tower.  It is like the Tower of Pisa, it is totally leaning over, but it's not as easy as it looks.  It was a ton of fun to make them especially the part where it bows out and makes a curve.  Holly was so patient while I was building, but that patience isn't infinite, this video is the result.

Lawrence Hall of Science

Here we are at Lawrence hall of Science up in the Berkeley Hills.  Our friends Kaylee and Mira were heading over there for a play date and we were invited.  We always like to include the grandparents in our regular lives when they visit and stick with the routine somewhat, I feel like they enjoy seeing what Holly's life is like and meeting friends.  So while something are not the norm, spending a day at the science center is exactly that kind of thing.  It is adorable to watch Holly interact with her friends and fun too to play with her at such a fun place.  Holly's favorite area of course the water outside.  A new exhibit they had this visit was on skateboarding and that was fun too.  Granny and Nana had a wonderful visit with us, but always 4 days is short.  We packed in a lot of fun, but there are always more fun things to do.  So we look forward to the next visit this fall.

Afternoon Playdate with Mommy

 Everyone was busy and Holly and I had the afternoon free.  She asked several times who we were going to see as if she didn't quite understand going out and not being with a friend, but I told her, Just Mommy and Holly get to play together today.  I decided to take her to Lawrence Hall of Science and we had so much fun!  We built and raced cars and made bridges and my favorite part was making a tower from blocks.  Later we went outside and played in the water and enjoyed the view, I had a wonderful time with my baby!
