Ho Ho Ho Merry....

Footies???

You may have thought I was going to say Christmas and finally give you our Christmas post I promised a month or so ago. But no, even though both of my children are in Christmas pajamas. I have a perfectly good explanation for THAT.

Isabella has been obsessed with wearing her princess footie pjs. She would wear them ALL day long and sometimes does if we don't have to go anywhere. Other days she wears them until I make her put on some real clothes to go out and then puts them back on when we get back home. I really don't care because there are much bigger issues like hitting her little brother that I have to figure out how to handle.

Anyway, I decided to get her some more pj's so I went looking all over during the winter break. I finally found some princess pj's but they were not footies. I got them and brought them home. However, they were NOT what my little princess wanted. She wanted footie pjs. So I took them back and found any footie pj's I could that might fit. Of course, one was Christmas. She will be able to wear them next year since they are 4T.

Now, one to why she likes footies soooo much. She, William and Micah love to slide down our stairs on their tummies. They figured out that you need footie pj's on so you don't get carpet burn on your tummy. Not fun!

William is still wearing Christmas pj's because they fit. Oh well.

16 months Old

Helping mommy build a shelf


William is 16 months old today.

Happy Valentine's Day too!

He continues to be a lot of fun and lets us know what he wants.

He is transitioning to 1 nap per day. This can be kind of dicey since he does not always sleep as long as he needs to when he takes 1 nap. So, he sometimes needs to take a short 30 minute nap or "rest" in his crib later in the afternoon.

Signs- "more", "milk", "fish", and sometimes "finished". Otherwise he still grunts and points or takes you to whatever he wants which is his preferred communication style at this point.

He is still trying to be a "big" boy and imitates others.

He climbs onto the drawer of the stove and holds onto the handle to try to see the top of the stove.

He loves to play with balls and thinks anything round is a ball.

He is able to squat and play with toys.

His "running" is getting better too.

Still NO teeth! However, he has been drooling like a fountain, had messy diapers, and a low grade fever. So, maybe sometime in the near future? But I could just be fooling myself into thinking that teeth are actually somewhere up in those gums.

We love you little man.
