Family & Snow

My sister has moved to NC!!  We are very happy to have my sister Theresa and her family in Cary.  We went to see their new house and have dinner and then on our way home saw our first (and probably only) snowfall of the season.  The kids were so excited to see it and when we got home, they ran right outside to see it.  It was short lived as Aniela says "I'm freezing hungry!"

Okay ... it was more sleet than snow :) 

but the grass is covered now!

Valentine's Day

My three loves ...

10 Months

Sammy is ten months old today.  Only two more months until we celebrate his first birthday! His favorite thing to do right now is to crawl.  He loves his new found freedom and motors everywhere around the house.  Especially if it involves chasing Thomas and Aniela!  

Sammy is starting to pull himself up although he can't quite stand.  He loves cheerios over any other table food we have tried.  He has eaten oranges, pears, bread, green beans and pasta.  He has three teeth.  At his last doctor appointment he weighed 17 pounds 8 ounces and was 27 inches.  Still a peanut by their standard!

10 Months Old

Really only two months until my baby turns ONE???

Mmmm ... Apples!

Thomas enjoying his first whole apple! He must have gnawed on it for 20 minutes!

So BIG!

Grandma and Pop's Visit

The beanbag is here!!! Aniela couldn't wait for Grandma and Pop to bring her Christmas present.

The short time Thomas would go to someone other than mommy!

Waiting for Daddy

Aniela is waiting patiently for Dave to come home from work!
We were excited it was his last Saturday as Tax Season draws to an end.

Future Plumber??

I found Aniela trying to get to the vent under our sink

Ten Months Old

...

Aniela is ten months old and developing quite a personality. She is officially mobile and loves to crawl anywhere. She is learning to drink from a sippy cup and eat solids. We have found out that she loves puffs (about the only solid she will eat). Her favorites are still sweet potatoes and any kind of fruit.

She is very vocal and loves to talk to anyone who will listen. She continues to be very interested in what everyone else is doing. Bath time is a favorite along with reading her board books. At her doctor appointment she weighed 20 lbs. and 9 oz. and was 28 inches long. Her third tooth has just come through and she is starting to pull herself up on furniture.
