Small Update

Jeremy had his 4 month check-up mid-January. His bare-naked weight is 18 lbs!!! It's been an adjustment for me to have a big baby. Tyler & Kelsie both weighed a lot to begin with, but by 4 months they were in the 20% range, not the 90% range. He is wearing 9 month old clothes... the problem being that I mostly have summer rompers for that size... not very appropriate for winter.

Kelsie is officially potty-trained. It was a remarkably painless experience. She is seeing a speech therapist once a week... and we're already seeing some progress. She has a wide vocabulary, but its hard to understand because she switches most of her consonants.

Tyler can write out his name and say his ABCs and recognise a good number of his letters. He can count to eleven, four-teen, five-teen, six-teen, etc... twenty-one!!! (he always leaves out twelve and thirteen, though he's asked where two-teen and three-teen are).

That's the most important things.... UPDATED!!!!

Quote of the month (January):Tyler: "So did Lehi take his smarshmellows with him?" ... we were reading about how Lehi and family went into the wilderness and dwelt in a tent... like CAMPING... and we always take marshmellows when we camp. Cracked me up.

Brotherly love

Good to know some things don't change!!! This is Tyler with Kelsie.

random january pics

I found the house full like this when I was helping clean up.

Watercolor fun

Back in September our R.S. did a service auction. I offered to paint a watercolor from a picture of choice (for the lady that won my service). It took 3 tries, but I finally got one I liked (the last one).

So... these are my Christmas pictures. I've decided that I don't enjoy Christmas as much when I'm trying to capture everything on film. So I took these pics and a small video and called it good. I didn't get one with all three kids that I really liked, but oh well. Our family picture was pretty good.

Christmas... long overdue

This year in the Christmas Eve impromptu pagent, Tyler got to be Joseph and Kelsie got to be an angel (she looked a little lost the whole time). We really enjoy Christmas Eve with Judy's family.
