First Day of Spring

Oh, how I love Texas. Today is the first day of spring, and it is sunny and 85 degrees outside. Anna is apparently having a hard time adjusting though. She wanted to wear her winter hat all day, over her shorts (yes, shorts) and t-shirt. And yes, those are real people in the swimming pool. And it is warm enough. So for all of you out there still wading through 6 inches of snow, have faith. It will come. Maybe not today, but someday soon! :-)

Growing Up

Anna looked so grown up with these sunglasses on her head. She will be three in just over 3 months!

With all these books in Grandma's library to read, I need to start early!!

Uncle Alex

Last week I took the kids up to Utah for a week to see my family. My little brother Alex just got home from his mission in Malaysia, so it was great to see him. The last time we saw him Anna was 5 months old and Nathan, of course, was not born yet, so it was fun for him to see the kids. And as usual, I forgot to take out the camera until the last day we were there. Thanks to Alex, we were able to get a few cute pictures though.

Hide and Seek

Anna finds very creative places to "hide" when she is playing or if she doesn't want to take a nap or get dressed. This particular spot is in the entertainment center under the TV. She thinks if she can't see you, you can't see her.

Thumb Suckers

This was on the same night. I just thought it was so cute!

Biter Biscuits

For those of you who don't know what these are, Gerber makes these biscuits that babies can chew on that dissolve fairly quickly so there is no choking hazard. Nathan had his first one the other day, and he made quite a mess. I don't think they were really made for babies with eight teeth because he bit the entire thing in half right away and stored it in his mouth until it dissolved. It was disgusting.

HELP!!!

Nathan learned to pull himself to standing in his crib a few days ago. The problem is, he doesn't know what to do when he gets there. He hasn't figured out how to sit back down yet, so he just gets really mad until someone rescues him. Poor little guy!
