We were delighted to have Mimi (my mom) and Uncle Nicholas (my brother) visit us this past weekend! We had such a great time with them, and Vera really enjoyed all the attention she received! She even decided to crawl for the first time while they were here.
Here are a few pics!
We miss you guys already!
We had a fun time at Travis and Andrea‘s last night! We taught them how to play Fast Scrabble and enjoyed eating Andrea’s amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Vera had a blast too!
Pictures are, of course, by Andrea!

How to Play Fast Scrabble
Place all tiles face down on the table (or floor). Everyone draws seven tiles and turns them over when the game begins. Each person forms their own crossword puzzle using only their tiles. The first person to finish their crossword calls out “draw two!” Everyone draws two more tiles. This continues until all of the tiles have been drawn. The first person to finish their crossword puzzle at this point is the winner! As in traditional Scrabble, no foreign words, contractions, proper nouns, or slang words are allowed. It’s lots of fun!
**edit (2):
Apparently I already blogged about how to play Fast Scrabble here.
Vera is almost crawling! She is definitely able to “scootch” across the floor when she wants to, and she has no problem stretching out and wiggling her way over to toys that are out of her reach.
She also likes to get into a crawling position and rock back and forth. It won’t be long now until she’s officially crawling!
