...and a Happy New Year!

Hello hello!  Every year I have from Christmas to New Years off from work, and we had a wonderful time playing together this week!  We had to say goodbye to Niki early on in the week, but we had so much fun while she was out here and are so glad she came!  I somehow don't have any pictures from before she left... but I do have this great one from swinging in the backyard earlier this evening!  The girls love the new swing.


Grayson did some tummy time on his new Cosmo pillow on Tuesday.  He's a pretty good tummy time champion.  I think he's un-learned how to roll over, or his head is less massive than his body now and doesn't flip him so easily, but at least when I do tummy time with him he'll sit and look around and be content for a bit.


On Wednesday Monica let Winry do both of their makeup!  Winry loved it and has SOOO much fun.  If only faces were bigger, or had more features, Winry probably could have kept going all day!  Just look at these beautiful styles!  Monica washed her face soon after, but Winry wore her makeup proudly for the whole day until bath time.


Grayson has been a champion smiler!  He really likes beat boxing (and doesn't even mind if it's really bad!!), having his cheek tickled, and saying "hi" or his name high pitched!


Winry has just started drawing real things, and she drew this picture of her and Brooke in their beds this past week.


I included that picture because it was a much more clear picture of what she drew.  I wanted to get a picture of her with it, but she refused.  I tried to track her down and get a picture really quick, but she always ran away....


However, later that morning she was willing to hold still once she got her stylin sun glasses on!  Look at that style!


Brooke got Unicorn Jr. Monopoly for Christmas, and it has been a dream come true!  She wants to play it all the time.  I would say it's a big improvement over regular Monopoly as you just play until the first person goes bankrupt, and the game is designed to drive you there rather quickly.  We've played it several times, and she loves it every time.


Thursday, Friday and Saturday we made our way to the park.  It was nice to finally head back, and the girls had a great time.  Winry has reached the age where she begins to fear slides, but fortunately I was able to coax her down the small slide pretty easily, and from there the sky was the limit.  Brooke also really liked sliding down the double slide holding hands.  The best part was really just getting outside and letting the girls run around.  I don't think they've really been able to get out their energy very well since Grayson was born, and I feel like it's been causing a host of other problems, like having a hard time going to sleep at night.  They've been bedtime champions the last few days.


Thursday was the first time the girls tried swinging together.  We had a lot of fun! P.S. I'm now holding Grayson trying to get him asleep and he's kicking and screaming so I'll be more brief...


We had some peppers with lunch one day.  Brooke didn't want any, but Winry took some.  She didn't actually eat them, just needed them for this.  It's sort of like the reverse walrus...


The girls made their beds once this past week.  Just once, but you've got to start somewhere.  Here is Winry's bed!  She proceeded to tuck some stuffed animals in and then it didn't quite look so nice.


And here's Brooke's bed!


Friday night we heard a loud bang probably around 8.  I figured a neighbor was just a day late with a firework, though it was very loud.  Turns out a Le Croix froze in the back of the fridge had exploded... dang...


I caught Jelly doing whatever this is..  She was half off the couch using the blinds to keep her up.


I had a presidency meeting today, and when I went to find people after I found this snuggly duo!


Well, that's about all the one handed typing I've got in me.  I'm even typing this on my phone whole I remote control my computer because Grayson will lose it if I stop walking, and walking circles looking at my phone is making mw dizzy... have a great week!
