Playing w/Tyler through the netting.

Looks like a beard!

Obviously, it's not all fun & games.

Snowball Night

Eric & Julia dressed in all their finery. Schane & Kelsie just chillin'.

Children's Museum - January

We went with my cousins to the Denver Children's Museum in January. Tyler had so much fun!!!! He got to be a fireman, a grown up at the grocery store, and a bunny. What a blast!

Kruising Kelsie

Yep - she has officially been crawling for a few weeks now - tummy off the floor. She also likes to pull up onto almost anything. (I've even caught her stepping up onto a small box to reach something higher).

Of course, this makes nights a lot harder. She started sleeping through the night in January, but then got sick two weeks later. I have given up getting her to sleep through the night again. She will cry for 2 hours straight (I let her one night). She just keeps sitting up, pulling herself up against the side of the playpen, toppling over, screaming louder, starting over.

At least if I get up with her, everyone else can get a good night's sleep. We'll attack it again when we get back to Idaho (lucky neighbors).

One other thing - we have to constantly sweep & mop the floors, because Kelsie's preferred method of picking specs up is direct contact: she mouths the floor - grosses my mom and me out.

Talking Tyler

Tyler is really talking these days. I wanted to write down some of the funny things before I forgot.

Shopping in Costco w/Grandma, Kelsie, & me: I asked him if he wanted animal crackers, to which he yelled "I want amamol crappers!". When we found them, they were Whinny the Pooh Animal Crackers. Of course Tyler starts yelling "Pooh crappers, mommy, pooh crappers!"

Shopping in Lowe's w/Grandma, Kelsie, & me: Tyler is running ahead of the cart. We walk by the display toilets. He stops, turns to us, and scrunches up his face: "ewwwww GROOOSSSSSS!"

Brushing teeth at night: "I can't do it, Dad. I neeee help."

Eating after school snacks with Julia: Tyler turns out of the blue & tells her it is "licious" (delicious).

Basically, nothing slips by our little guy anymore. He repeats everything he hears, complete with volume and inflection.
