Staying Warm

Besides playing outside for short amounts of time, we've spent a lot of time indoors this month.  Alivia's favorite activities are playing dress-up, practicing writing letters, coloring and playing with stickers while James loves building with blocks, playing with balls and anything that involves being physically active. :)  Josiah is changing daily and we love hearing him coo and laugh and make new discoveries.  We could pretty much put away baby toys since between watching his siblings and the ceiling fans, he is a perfectly content baby.

Grandpa Reed's calming touch had Josiah quickly in dreamland 

Grandpa & Grandma Reed joined us for dinner and James loved his special "Grandpa time"

But he happily takes a break to offer a smile.

Josiah continues to get lots of loving from Alivia who doesn't go a day without holding him.

 

This morning was spent at the children's museum as a family and this is still a highlight for Alivia

"If this is a race car, why aren't we moving?"

Both kids love crocodiles so it was a treat to climb on this one in the "Egypt" exhibit.  

James, however, was not too sure about the crocodile puppet as you'll see in the next pic.

"Don't let it get me, Daddy!"

See ya later!
