Kicking off the New Year

With all the cold weather and snow, we've had weeks of lazing around the house, in our pajamas, coloring in our new playroom, watching TV with our babies (yes, they do everything with us now, even eat!), etc. It's been great!

Check out Evie and Nora in our bed, all cuddly under the covers first thing in the morning. OK, it was probably 8:30 but we girls like our sleep!!


And here's Nora and Reece during one of our playdates. Of course, Nora has some kind of liquid all down her dress - will that girl ever stop spitting up and drooling?!


I love this shot of Evie saying "cheese" for the camera and showing off her lovely hairdo. Yes, she is quite the girly girl - "ties" and "gloss" are absolute favorites. A few other new Evie achievements:

- She's now saying a few phrases - "I'm going to get you" - "I'm going to read" - "We did it. Yah!"
- She's learning all her colors and points to everything and identifies the right color - most of the time.
- She learned how to pout - with a full lower lip and whimper.
- And, most importantly, she seems to have stopped hitting her friends!! Hooray! We've had three playdates, two days of school and one music class without any violence. I hope we're on a winning streak!


Obviously, all our lazy days must come to an end - so today we started music class! Evie was right in the middle of everything - showing everyone how to twirl and sing - why does she stick her tongue out when she says "la, la, la?!"


While Evie showed off her singing skills - while smiling at herself in the floor to ceiling mirrors of course - Nora was content to chew/drool on every instrument in sight, and Mommy was sweating all over the place trying to keep up with both girls in addition to galloping around the room. When was the last time anyone galloped? It took me a while to catch on! Anyways, we'll be heading to music class every Friday morning through May now - thank you Yiayia and Papou. We hope to make you proud!
