Hot and Cold

Caitlin is learning how to cook. Well, at least she likes to dress up like a cook. Here is a snow video.

Caitlin likes big slides

We recently went to a fund raiser for an allergy support group. The fund raiser was at a place called Jump and Party. Caitlin had great time on the big inflatable obstacle courses. She needed some help the first few times, but learned how to get through on her own. She also makes fast friends and gets help from the other kids.

Jack is eating solids

We have started Jack on solids. He likes sweet potatoes, peaches, and pears quite a bit. The carrots, squash and peas have not gone over as well. He is able to move items from one hand to another and is sitting on his own. He also has a wonderful smile and contagious giggle.

Soccer Tots

Caitlin had her last day of Soccer Tots. She had a great time as did we. Soccer Tots has been a lot of fun for us. Caitlin did get tired from time to time, but Coach Mario kept everyone happy. The activities were very well suited for the kids: kick the ball, kick the balloon, tag with a noodle, chase the hoops, and parachute activities.

Let it snow

Happy Thanksgiving.

We are having a nice snowy start to winter. Caitlin loves to play in the snow. She is helping us shovel every morning. Although she plays a little more than shovels.

Uncle NoNo

We will miss you Uncle NoNo.

Halloween

We had a great time this year for Halloween. We went to Nick and Jamie's. Caitlin enjoyed trick or treating around the neighborhood. Jack was a monkey and Caitlin was a Giraffe.

Jack is now sleeping through the night occasionally. He is also waking up early between 5:20-6:20. Last night he went to sleep at 5:20pm and slept until 6:00am. He was tired from a late Halloween night and a day of poor naps. Normally he naps three times a day. If he is rested he goes down with less than five minutes of fussing. He is eating 8 ounces five times a day. We started him on rice and he is beginning to eat. He can almost sit up by himself, but still falls to the side pretty quickly. He does not like tummy time, and does not roll over yet. He does like to play in his exersaucer. He also likes to laugh.

Speaking of poor naps, Caitlin is having a hard time falling asleep. We made her give up her pacifiers. While she is playing everything is fine, but when it comes to trying to fall asleep she desperately misses her Binky. She is speaking in complete sentences, and learning about prefixes. She has asked me to unmove and unopen things. She was also able to count to 11 although she normally skips 4.
