New Year

Happy New year! I've been meaning to post before this but I just haven't had much extra time. We've been busy with back to school and back to routine and all of that good stuff. The past week has flown by as we've gotten back into the thick of it.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We had a great time in TC with family, and we were even able to get our bedroom painted and a new ceiling fan hung over the holiday break. I'm currently working on getting curtains and then the room will be officially done. Yay! It's like breathing in a breath of fresh air when I walk in there. Aahhhh... :)

The kids are doing great and seem glad to be back to school. They have been enjoying their new Christmas stuff. They have particularly been enjoying board games. It's nice to have K able to participate with that more as he gets older. The main favorites are "Sound Bingo", "Zingo" and "Hi-Ho Cheery-O". We've started to make a game part of our night time/bedtime family routine. It's been great!

N is ON THE MOVE! She's super close to walking independently. Any day now, it will be over! She has taken steps between us, but mostly just surfs the furniture and walls for now. She is pulling up to things, as well. She says "Da da", "Kitty", "Daisy" (one of our dogs) and seems to be working on the "m" sound with "more" and "ma ma" close to follow. She is babbling a lot. She waves and points at things and is starting to really let us know when she doesn't like something! (such as us feeding her baby food---she'd much rather feed herself by picking up food pieces!) She's a ton of fun and really enjoys interacting with all of us.

I will get some photos posted soon. I'm currently at work, so I can't get them posted at the moment. I will try to get some up soon.
