Spring Tease

Since we're all feeling better and we had 60 degree and sunny weather today, we broke out the new wagon the girls got for their birthday. We took a ride down to the park and played for a bit. This is one fancy wagon, complete with seatbelts, cup holders (for kids and parents) and lots of storage space (and other accessories we haven't tried out yet, like a canopy). Thanks Grandma Gerry and Grandpa Scott, we're going to get a lot of use out of it this summer!

On the mend

I have absolutely no new photos, unless you count the one Chris took on Thursday of Hailey's vomit (don't ask). I'm not going to post that one.

We have been one sick house this week, and I feel very bad this all came during Grandma Sandy's visit. But I am so very glad she was here! Hailey woke up with a 102+ fever on Wednesday morning that lasted until Friday afternoon. She is back to her old self this morning thank goodness! Riley and I have been battling coughs and colds, and Chris has had a little cold himself.

Riley is a walking machine. Miss Hailey has some serious catching up to do, losing three days of walking practice!

I fixed the video from the last post, for all those that pointed out it wasn't working. Thanks!

A bona fide toddler

Riley has definitely crossed whatever line separates infant from toddler, her preferred method of mobility is much less crawling and much more walking this week. I'm happy and sad. At least I still have one non-walker, but probably only for another week or two, since Hailey's interest in walking has increased as well. Man, this is going to be a fun summer. I cannot wait to see them running around the yard and the park.

Super Silly Sisters

These kids never cease to amaze and crack us up. Here's Hailey, chatting on the phone, already. I thought they were supposed to be teenagers before this starts?



Jade has jetted off to Miami and Chicago for a well deserved and much needed week of vacation. Grandma Sandy has come to fill in the role of nanny for the week. The girls are very excited and took no time at all to warm up to Grandma, despite not having seen her since Christmas. Here's a video of them being very goofy and showing off for her tonight.

Poop!

Add another word to the repertoire, this time for both girls. That would be "poop". As in:

Q: "[Enter baby's name here], do you have a poopie?"
A: "Poop! Poop!"

It does not necessarily mean they actually have one.

Here are the girls having a little snuggle moment while watching a baby dvd:


Riley was so happy to see Grandpa Tom and Grandma Susan on Saturday!
