Blog? What blog?

After just spending 1.5 hours reading other peoples' blogs I realized that I, in fact, have a blog that I haven't updated in forever. I've been horrible the past few months. Probably due to work, and two kids, and a house that I can't keep up with.

Alice said "uh-oh" for the first time on Thursday night. She now says it whenever she (or anyone else, usually me) drops something on the floor. "uh hooooo"

She's also signing all done pretty well. Here's a short clip...not the best but you get the idea.




And, Miss Alice stood up in her crib for the first time today. Tom was shocked when he went in to get her from her nap. Not used to seeing Alice standing up! Daycare says she'll pull herself to standing on their couch. Then cry when she gets "stuck" or falls back down.

Lucius continues to play nicely with Alice. It's so cute to see them interacting more and more. Alice absolutely LOVES her big brother. Her eyes are always on him. Here they are playing during bathtime. Alice loves it even if Lu ends up being a big brother and doing the typical 'poke in the eye' and 'try to stick a toy on her butt' tricks.

Minnesota Children's Museum

We also visited the MN children's museum with some friends.
There's always a ton to do at these places.


Face painting a la Lucius.

Christmas

OK. Better late than never, right?

Although we missed the blizzard of 2009 back on the East Coast, MN was still loaded with snow.
I brought Lu's snowboots from last year...and then realized that they're about 2 sizes too small. Oops. Had to go with some plastic bags instead.




Lu and his cousin Ryan had a GREAT time playing together. They even had a sleep over and slept together in the bed tent.







Clowning around on Christmas Eve.



Christmas morning.



Daddy's little girl.


Her first purse! Yay! I have to admit that I'm looking forward to some girlie toys. I'm getting tired of Spiderman, Batman, X-men, Power Rangers, Sportacus, etc...

Putting on her lipstick.

10 months old

Miss Alice is 10 months old now. That one year milestone is quickly approaching. She's getting into everything now but still at a crawlers pace. She just started crawling on her hands and knees. Perhaps month 11 will bring pulling herself up to standing.


She does have one thing in common with her brother. The girl loves to eat. She's still not so much into the drinking (down to one bottle at daycare), but she definitely likes her food.

Fun with flip

The new power cord for our laptop finally arrived. Maybe I can upload some pictures now. Yay.

Actually I'm just going to upload a couple of videos. I got a flip camera.

Enjoy!
