I asked wren if she liked hot chocolate or just the marshmellows….she said just the marshmellows. And here is z in the bumbo…he can almost enjoy it now.
We were so excited that Aunt Sarah and Zachary came to visit us for the day! Wren had a fun time playing mom and getting pacifiers and blankets. We had such a great time visiting and I already miss those cute Zachary dimples!
We had fun at Julian's house today. Tracey blew bubbles for the kids (and the kids tried blowing them too), wren and julian tried to 'fix' the cart with julian's tools, and we had a lot of fun running around and playing. Z is catching up on sleep today after a rough night (it never turns out good when I bring him in bed with us… when will I learn!?), but he was a little bit smiley on his tummy this afternoon.
Marc gave z his first lesson on skankin to the beat – complete with supertones and five iron frenzy.
My big boy in his own room with no swaddle… sniff sniff….(taken from the webcam video monitor)…
papa do you have any O's? no? go fish!
We moved z into the guest room tonight – which I guess we shouldn't call the guest room anymore? We will see if he sleeps any better tonight without smelling my delicious milk.
We had so much fun celebrating Sophia's birthday today! She is one and I can't believe how fast she is growing up!
after i referred to marc as “papacita”….
wren: “papa doesn’t like papacita”
me: “are you sure?”
wren: “no, he doesn’t like it. he likes pops though! and pop-sie popsicle!”
We went to the childrens museum this morning and had a lot of fun (here is wren eating her snack). After her nap, wren had fun painting at home and then 'we' built with the citiblocs!
Since it was nice out today we decided to take a walk in the woods. Of course, when we got there, we realized that since most of the paths are shaded there was still a ton of snow and ice. It was actually kind of scary in the beginning and pretty slippery in some places. Once we got to the open path it was a lot better and there was no snow in sight! I'm not sure what order these pictures will post since the program we use always seems to switch them around on me, but I wanted to say a little bit about a few of them. There are two of wren sitting on a tree stump. In one of them she is sporting her new cheesy smile – she is definitely bringing it to the next level of cheese. The other stump picture she is holding a little stick. She called it her 'arrow stick' because it looked like an arrow and she told us she could use it to point which way to go. She was very proud of herself and very sad when she accidently dropped it! She also found some pine cones which is always exciting. Z seemed very interested in looking at the trees and enjoyed breathing the fresh air for all of about 10 minutes before he fell asleep.
It seems that a lot of stores are carrying tutus lately and Wren keeps asking me to buy one. I always tell her that we don't buy those kind of skirts because they are easy to make. I finally got around to making one and it wasn't for her, BUT since it fit her so well and the girl I was making it for was turning one I decided Wren could keep it and I would make a smaller one for the other girl. Wren was in heaven twirling around and falling and pulling the layers up. I have a feeling I'll be making more of these. oh… and the picture doesn’t do it justice, but she was moving around so much!
I’ve never seen someone so happy to get out of taking a nap! He was all smiles when I finally gave up trying to put him down. Oh… and he obsessed with eating his shirt.
z had his first trip to the zoo… it was so warm! wren helped marc put together the cubbies (he said she actually helped a lot)!
just saying… we already know we didn't post anything. Sorry! Better luck next time. (and marc says I'm a weirdo) How about this…. we will have extra pictures tomorrow and maybe a video, but I'm not promising anything. How about you send us your pictures and we will post them! Ahhh… I'm tired and it's time for bed. Ok.. so I'll post a picture of me. oh man what has this come to!?!?!? I can't knowingly not put a picture up!!!!! I'm obviously tired because I'm rambling way too much and not making sense. Well, I pulled marc over and made him take a picture with me.
z is 4 months old now!
Wren had popcorn for the first time tonight and she liked it a lot! When we told her she had enough and it was time for bed she told us not to finish it all and to make sure we saved some for tomorrow.
