This past month has been an exciting one..we had E turn 5 years old, K turn two this past weekend and on the 7th Miss A turned 8 months old!

Miss A is starting to move onto mashed foods . The day before she turned 8 months old she had her first two teeth break through the skin..and the fussiness to go with the pain begins. Most of the time she takes it well..constantly chewing on the fingers in her mouth....now we have started to bite anything we can...including grinding the only two teeth she has. More teeth are seen and being felt just below the surface...so the fun begins.

She is army crawling faster than the speed of light all over the house...getting into dog food and pulling stuff over. We really have to watch her all the time. One second she is in the living room...you turn and she is in our front entrance or playroom trying to cause ruckus with the rest of our brood. Oh the laughter she brings with her teethy grin. K loves to bug her and get her toys down..giving her kisses and hugs.

She loves to make us laugh and is super ticklish.  A lot of the time she is getting preferential on who feeds her or how she is fed. She likes to give daddy a hard time and is trying to feed herself on the floor. We usually end up chasing her to get her to eat again.

Mobile and determined. She is constantly standing with us holding her..half sitting/posing on the floor with her arm holding her up on an angle and rocking back and forth pre crawling. A will slide down the couch to get down while we hold her...and changing her is a whole other story.

Her babbling and laughter is infectious! If you want smiles A is your Gal! The dog will never have dry food ever again.

K:
K just turned 2 this past weekend on the 15th. Thanks to all the FamJam who made it out. It was low key but perfect for our Thomas loving Two Year old! Two days after is still in recovery of fun! We had cake and company and the usual favourite for Two Year olds...Hot Dogs!

He is so Kissy and Cuddly lately. His words are ever flowing. He is super smart..loves his trains and giggles all over the house. Dare devil at heart..no fear in this lad....makes his big sister cry just with his tiny pinching hands.

He is definitely stretching out and finally in 18 months clothing...but 2 T would definitely be too big.

Miss E:

Miss E is 5...attitude on her sleeve. She has a big heart..but full of emotion.

She had a great birthday party with one of her besties from school and some of her cousins and a few of our other close friends with their littles. We made gingerbread houses..had a Sofia shape cupcake cake. We tried to space it out..having a birthday on christmas can be hard when you are so small.

Since she has gone back to school she has had two snow/ice days per week. It has been interesting to watch how when the days are not as structured and she is home to play how the dynamics change at home. For her sake the buses better be running tomorrow. I love spending time with her but she has been tired lately and misses her friends and school. She begins to get very dramatic and it goes down hill from there. She also feels she is in charge lately...which does not get her what she would like...lol.


O:
Soft at heart..even though he seems so rough and tough. Are Ears need to be turned back on again. He loves his new camera he got from Christmas and is constantly taking pictures of all of us.

Time sure flies. I just signed O up for junior kindergarten this past week. Now we just have to get this lad potty trained before September! He will pee on the toilet when we take him..pushes it out in fact. Will not tell me when he needs to poop or has tho..and I feel we will be taking him every 20 mins at first. This will be a Two parent task I fear with heavy reward trickery.

As for now I bid you all goodnight. It's been a long Two days and I'm outta here haha.
