Had ourselves a Merry little Christmas!

Twas the days after Christmas and all through the house

I revisit the  fun with a click of the mouse…

Stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

15 months

Finley and Zane are both busy busy bodies! It is so fun to watch! What are they up to? Here ya go…

They are both starting to talk…Although Zane is a man of few words he points to everything!! Finley is becoming quite the “talker”…typical girl!!

Zane: dada, down (for go downstairs), up for pick me up or upstairs, and lots of other babbling!!

Finley: daddy, down, up, bow, ball, balloon,  dog, Tanky, baby, uh-oh, momma (only a few times…boo),  and the following words only a mother (father and grandparents) can understand….

/t/ for hat

/kah/ for car

/wawa/ for water

/kaka/ for cracker

/kak/ for quack

/uck/ for duck

moo, baa, nah (animal sounds)

/bay buh/  for belly button

/boo/ for balloon

They both love to be “chased” and just giggle then start running towards you…it is so cute!

Their favorite foods: ritz whole grain crackers, fruit, raisins, cheese, beans, goldfish, and the beloved cheerios!

They both got their first ear infection…boo.

We are on our way to taking one nap.

You love love love Tank and Vader! They can cheer you up and make you giggle!

Waiting for the tree to be lit!

Hello Again!

Sorry for my absence, but my computer finally crashed.  It is at the repair shop and we are still waiting to hear its fate.  In the meantime I have been borrowing Gary computer which he had just gotten wiped clean…so I have no access to my programs, bookmarks, files, etc.  ARG! Back up your computer TODAY!!

We have been busy getting ready for the holidays and getting over our first ear infections…BOO.  Everyone in our house was sick at the same time…so not fun!

While we were quarantined we had to get a little creative! I was breaking down a box and both Finley and Zane laughed hysterically as they would run or crawl through! The funniest was when mom went through!! It has now become a new piece of furniture in our house…whatever works, right!!!

I hope everyone is staying healthy!!
