Snowy Flashback

I have some pictures of S in the snow last year and he is wearing the same clothes K wore this year. Enjoy the flashback!





Here is K this year:

A Snowy Update

K is almost 17 months now and I can't find my little books with their stats in them from the doctors. He last went at 15 months and I don't know where they went. So I can sort of remember that he weighed 28 lbs and the rest I'm not sure. The bigger news for him is that he is walking now! He was getting it down a little bit before Christmas, but now he is on the move. I like it better than crawling because you don't have to bend so far to pick them up, but you do have to be fast to catch them. It's also nice in places like doctor's offices, ect. where they won't be crawling all over the floor and people potentially stepping on them. K is a bit of a screamer when he wants something like food, getting down, going outside, ect. His favorite word seems to be "Da-da" for daddy and he kind of mumbles "mmmma" for mommy. We are always amazed at how much he thinks he can do because he sees S doing it too. (We forsee having to watch him VERY closely this spring and summer at playgrounds) He is a sweet boy who loves to take a 3-4 hour nap each day and still sleep almost 12 hours each night. I think its a big growth spurt or something and I keep thinking he'll go back to 2 or 2 1/2 hours, but he doesn't. I guess I won't complain! :0)

Other K news....we cut his baby sweet hair for the first time. He looks so much older, but it was getting so long in the back that I could do a ponytail if I wanted to. :0) Now I feel like his baby days are truly over and we have a toddler. These are some after pictures. All of our other pictures of the actual haircut are on A's phone. (coming soon)




We had some snow this past week and we had a great time playing outside. They both really like it. S especially loves throwing the snow. Next week begins the birthdays for many people in my family including me! Can't wait!

Happy New Year

Yes I know I am over a month late, but I am really behind on my pictures and updates. Here are some photos of New Years Eve which was our last night of our Christmas vacation. A great way to start the new year!

More Christmas

These pictures are from Christmas morning at A's sister's house and she has a little boy that is 18 months old. S and K both loved the little bike he got! We then went to A's parent's house to visit with everyone and all the cousins were there to open presents from Grandma and Grandpa together.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year visiting A's parents and some of his siblings and their families. It was fun for S and K to spend time with new cousins they had never met before and older cousins that only S could remember if he had a super memory at 14 months (that was the last time he had seen them). We spent a lot of time eating, playing games, talking, laughing, shopping and just enjoying time together. We are truly looking forward to more time with all of A's immediate family this summer for their every 2 year family reunion. S and K were great traveling on the plane (I would say just K got restless since he doesn't have his own seat yet) S LOVED the airport and the planes and flying on one! They both did really well adjusting to all of us sleeping in one room every night of our trip and the late nights. What we really loved was sleeping in with them in the morning since they would be so tired from the night before. We got to sleep past 9:00 am most days because they were still sleeping too! I haven't seen those times since college! So even though it was busy, we still got to relax somewhat too. Seeing everyone made me miss them more. It would be so much fun to live closer to A's family. Here is a bunch of pictures with no captions, (sorry) but it was truly a memorable Christmas.











All those pictures were from Christmas Eve. I didn't get a lot of pictures of the nativity we acted out, but S really loved wearing that scarf on his head for a shepherd. He would get sad and cry if it fell off. We all got a good laugh from him!
