What's new with the girl.......

I started Gracie on rice cereal a couple of weeks ago. She looks happy enough in the picture, but after a couple of days, she really didn't like it anymore. I stopped giving it to her for a week or so and just started back a couple of days ago. She's doing a little better, but still not thrilled with it. As you can see from the picture, she has started rolling over! She started rolling from her tummy to her back in early December, and started rolling from her back

to her tummy at the beginning of the week. I missed the first time. I had put her on a blanket with some toys, and was back in Fisher's room with him building with his train tracks when I heard her fussing. I came out and she was on her tummy - I thought "I don't remember putting her down like that" then realized that she had done it herself. Now she is rolling all around, pushing herself around in a circle with her feet. Next steps will be sitting and crawling - then I'll have 2 to chase around all day!

What's new with the boy.....

I started going over the colors with Fisher last week when he had his crayons out. I would pick one up and tell him the color and ask him to say it back to me. He was pretty good at saying them all. He had an ABC book out earlier in the week that had a picture of an orange on the cover. I pointed at it and told him that it was an orange and that the color of it was also orange. A couple days later he was pointing to an apple and an orange on the counter and saying "uh, uh" like he will when he wants something. I told him to tell me what he wanted and not to say "uh". He thought really hard and then said "yewwow"(yellow). He knew that he wanted the orange, just couldn't remember the color - haha. Thought that was kind of funny. He also pointed to three different colors of play-doh yesterday and got all three colors right. I was proud!

Valentine's Day pics

Here are a couple of pics of the kids on Valentine's day. Gracie looks really interested in Fisher's buy-ya-yas (his word for airplane).
