This month has seemed to fly by. There have been so many things going on. I keep saying that February 1st will be our official first of the year. Hopefully by then I will be organized and ready for a new year.
Tessa has taken off reading this month. She decided to give chapter books a try and wanted to start with Harry Potter, but we convinced her to do something a bit easier. She started with Charlotte's Web and loved it. She also started reading the Magic Tree House Series about 2 weeks ago and has already read 5 of those. I am so glad she loves to read.
We were sad to have to say goodbye to Aunt Katy earlier in the month. She went back to Washington D.C. to finish up her last few months of school. We had fun with her while she was here.
Mommy so looks forward to a few minutes of relaxation in the evening without kidlets. These 2 have not been cooperating lately and are staying up far too late with Mommy.
Before Caleb started rolling, he was wiggling all over the place. He would start in the middle of his play mat and then wiggle himself all the way off of it.
We've had more cooking lessons. Adam made dinner all by himself one evening (with very little help from Mommy.) He made Aunt Virginia's Hamburgers and did a great job!
January has been our sick month. It always it. We've had sick tummy's, sick noses and lots of coughs. Mommy and Gwen spent 2 nights on the couch one week when Gwen had a sick tummy. Gwen took a nap the next day. A very rare occurrence. Both babies were asleep at the same time. Mommy literally did not know what to do with herself. She could get used to that!
We could not get Caleb to wake up one night for his final feeding. We tried everything, but he was zonked! But, oh so cute!
Gwen has spent most of the month dressed up as someone other than Gwen.
Adam and Tessa's handwriting is getting so good. Tessa has worked hard at her cursive and it is paying off!
Late nights with Mommy means taking selfies.
The kids are still constantly grabbing my phone to take pictures of their cute brother.
Ma sent a picture of one of their cousins who was throwing a fit, so they wanted to take a silly picture to cheer her up.
Precious! I love when babies snore.
Mommy has been getting up extra early to work out and get healthy. It is not easy! And Gwen is usually up by 6. So not much of a break.
Mommy and Daddy made a goal to get to the temple more often this year. Mommy got to go first this month. We are so blessed to live to close to so many temples!
