Vita in Action

It must be birthday party season.  Vita had a birthday party to attend last weekend, and two birthday parties to attend this weekend.  Two of the three birthday parties have been held in a local gymnastics studio.  The kids get a "tumbling" lesson, and basically get to play on all of the fun equipment for about an hour, followed by lunch, cake and presents.  Vita LOVES the gymnastics studio, and went straight for the balance beam.  Perhaps gymnastics lessons will be in her future...

Here are a couple of action shots.  They are all blurry, as Vita was running around trying everything out.  She had a blast.  Here she is climbing across a bridge.


Here she is rolling down a slope.


And here she is with her friends, playing with pool noodles.


Vita's ballet classes have now ended.  Here's a picture of Vita bolting down the hall... the very same hall that she found so intimidating on her first day of class.  I'm really not sure how much "ballet" Vita learned, but the class was a great experience for Vita, who was really brave in a large class full of older girls (Vita was the youngest kid in the class).  I think it was an empowering experience for her.


Here are a couple more pictures from the last day of ballet class.


So cute!


And taking a bow.


In other news, Vita has been drawing some really amazing pictures lately.  Vita is really making images, and the best part is that each picture has a story.  Here's Vita with one of her pictures from last weekend.  Vita said that this was a picture of a monster with spikes on his back, and he's carrying a baby monster, and even though they look scary, they are nice monsters.  The monsters are dancing underneath a rainbow.


Anabelle is doing great too, and I'll do an Anabelle post tomorrow with all of her updates.  I can't believe she's almost 5 months old!
