January

Therese's expression here sums up how I feel about January...and February...and March...is it spring yet??
We had some really cold weather a couple weeks ago. Poor Therese had to wear this nice, warm and CONSTRICTING snowsuit a few too many times! She was always so happy once I took it off of her because she really can't move in it very well! But it sure came in handy.
No one really uses this crib at the moment, except for playing in--Greta especially loves to play in it. Therese hasn't quite graduated to sleeping in Greta's room with her because she persists in waking up every 2-3 hours all night still!!! I do look forward to the day when the girls officially share a room, and I get to sleep more than a couple hours at a time.

There is a Bio-Diversity Museum near Matthew's school, and he has taken Greta there a couple of times, she really enjoys it. Shortly after the New Year we went there as a family. Here Greta is beginning to show me the flashiest attraction there: the skeleton of a huge blue whale.
It is the biggest mammal that has ever lived on earth. It is amazing!

The little scientist.
Classic Greta.
Oh my girl! She really gets into life.
Playing in Therese's bed...Greta loves to jump in there with Therese first thing in the morning!
Apparently now it's Therese's turn to suck Greta's toes...
Getting ready to enjoy breakfast together.
Little rubber-band wrists...SO CUTE!!!
Little Sunshine.
Therese loves to go after these croquet balls we have as "decor" in our living room :-)
Painting!!!
SOOOOO into it!

These are some new dot paints she got for Christmas.

Therese is such a sweet little baby, always full of smiles (except in the middle of the night!)
She loves to eat!
The other night Therese ate a whole apple, a whole piece of bread with jam, cereal with milk on it, salmon, steak, rice with steak juice on it, and a big helping of peas. She can really pack it in!
Her "I'm not too sure about this food!" face :-)
Greta loved to play with this ball, and now Therese does too! A bit blurry, but it's such a cute picture I had to include it...
The girls love to play in this tupperware drawer together.

What a fun mess!!!
Greta gets really into taking the paper off of her crayons. And do you notice the sticker art on her wall?
Therese really gets a kick out of using a straw cup like her big sister. It's so cute!!
January has gone by fast. We have been busy, and have been enjoying settling into our bigger, brighter, BETTER home :-) We are so thankful for it!
Hopefully I will get another post up again soon.
