January 2009

Let's see...I think the word of the month should be tantrum. Yes, my sweet little girl is expressing her 2year old side. She is very effective in using the word NO and seems to have a very good throwing arm. If only she didn't feel the need to whip my picture frames across the room in a fit of rage. Jake is doing very well. He is teething...so everything is a bit soggy in my house. He is still a very happy guy and loves to yell loud. I think it is to keep above his sister's voice. It is amazing that our windows aren't cracked yet. I am counting the days until spring. I think my house maybe shrinking.

Grandma Booth gave her the flower hat. But she had a fit when I told her she couldn't wear it. So we compromised and wore it over her winter hat.

Jacob can pretty much sit by himself. But he is very curious and always reaching for stuff.

Enjoying some leisure time reading.

Spending some time with Poppy.

Avery doesn't believe in wasting any food.

We realized we needed to take the tree down when she crawled under it and hid behind it.

After a hard day at play Jake likes to relax on the sofa with a magazine.

umm.. this one is hard to explain. She leaned to far over and got stuck. But of course a picture was necessary before helping her out.

The first time in the big bath. He loved the bubbles and all the toys.

Of course Avery was ok with sharing the toys and tub, but she wanted to try out his chair.

My little laughing man!

I have fallen and can't get up!

This was the first real snowday that she got a chance to play outside. Of course...she had a problem with coming in after over an hour outside.
