I like it ... climbing

Grace's New Thing: "I like it" or "a me" are very common phrases for Grace right now. Both of them mean that she wants whatever it is that she sees. It is all hers. I put the balls away after playing outside last night and she screamed "I like it" for five minutes because she wanted go back outside to play with the balls.

Sophie's New Thing: Sophie is trying to climb the stairs standing up because that is what she sees Grace do. She has been able to fly up the stairs on her hands and knees for some time but now she wants to stand. Of course, she is just like Grace and is attracted to the one and only spindle that isn't glued into place and spins around. They both find spinning this spindle very amusing ... we don't. Sophie ability to climb amazes me. She climbed up the front of the highchair and stood in the seat a few weeks ago. She is definitely a monkey and we are having to watch her!

New Baby Update: The big ultrasound appointment for this baby is Friday. We are hoping to find out the gender but more importantly we are hoping for a healthy baby that measures on track for growth! Baby is kicking more even in this week. Daddy has had a chance to feel baby kick once so far. Once again, daddy's hands seem to be the best way to calm an active baby!

Spring is Here!

Proof that Spring is here ...

Sophie's Spring Moment: Sophie got her first scrapped up knee on Sunday when the girls were running around out front. This of course resulted in a lot of tears.

Grace's Spring Moment: Grace decided to welcome Spring with tears too. On Monday night, we went out to the playground after dinner to play. When it was time to come inside to get ready for bed she decided to scream and cry the whole way back up to the house.

I never really thought that Spring Showers came in the form of tears but they appear to at our house. Hopefully, the Spring Showers can turn into much needed rain instead of tears and the screams that go along with them!
