Daniel is crawling!

Michael set up the tent in the living room and was playing with Amelia and Daniel inside. The tent floor gave Daniel some added traction, and he started crawling! It is fun to watch each milestone. :)

Daniel videos

Here are a few videos of Daniel. He loves music and to bounce to it.


This is a video of Daniel's new accomplishment :)



The post below is also new, with the pictures from this last month.

What a month!

This month has been full of illnesses, from Pink Eye, for everyone in the family, to a nasty cold that last two weeks for everyone in the family, and Roseola for Amelia. She is still feeling sick, but the rest of us are almost back to normal. I hope no one gets what we had! It is not fun.

Here are some pictures from this last month:


I love how the cat just sat down to watch Amelia play.

Michael was playing with Amelia one morning and made her a birds nest and a bird beak
This is a face I just love. Daniel's squint, he does it frequently.

I think Amelia looks like a little princess in this pic. We were pretending to blow bubbles... it was probably raining outside... can't wait for spring!! :)


This cat! I tell ya. It has more personality then I can handle sometimes :) This plant sits at the top of a large book case. So when the cat curls up in the pot there is only an inch or so between her and the ceiling. I don't know why it is so appealing to sit in it. But it sure makes a mess when she gets out. Also the plant is suffering a little under the weight of her body.
So today I left the room Daniel was in with all his toys and this basket to go do something with Amelia. I came back a few minutes later to find him laying on top of the basket!!! As I went to go get the camera he helped himself to his feet, and he looked so proud of himself! I can't believe how fast he is changing. He can now go from a crawl position back to sitting, and can sort of crawl/scoot backwards, but not forwards... yet :)



We love you Daniel!

This week

This last few weeks have been interesting. A week ago Daniel woke up in the morning with pink eye, the bacterial kind, and a bad case of it. He was doing well other wise, ears and all, so he got eye drops and I thought we would be done with it. Monday afternoon I came down with a cold, in the middle of the first day of potty training Amelia. Daniel then got a cold, and a bad cough Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Amelia woke up with pink eye. ( I thought I had done so good not letting it spread, but alas it did after 4 days) So I took them both to the doctor. Turns out they both had "silent" ear infection that come with pink eye. Thursday morning Michael woke up with my same cold, sore throat, head ache, tired, you know the stuff. Now it is Friday night in addition to my cold I ... have pink eye.

On a brighter note, Amelia is still using the potty! She is doing so good, yea! She is still learning but not sure I am the best teacher of this... I take my hat off to all the mom's who trained their kids, it is gross, and take a lot of time, attention and positive attitude :)

I hope everyone stays healthy and has a great weekend!! Can't wait for spring!!!
