Kiddos

Bumbo time!

Wacky Wednesday at school!

Valentine's Day

This was taken on Valentine's Day! I had grand plans of doing a Vday photoshoot, but it didn't happen.

Althea is doing really well. She gets hauled all over the place, to school, to the library, hockey, to music class, etc. and has become very used to her carseat.  She is talking a lot and giggling.  She rolled over on February 12th. She rolls from her back to her front most often. Although she can roll from her stomach to her back she rarely does. 
Reid is still loving school and reading like crazy. Every day he surprised us by reading something new. He still cooks every day and likes to tell stories. It was dinosaur week at school and they all had so much fun. So much fun that one day as we were playing outside Reid informed everyone who walked by that it was Dinosaur Week. The pedestrians were less interested however. He is a great big brother and has really started to interact with his sister. He occasionally covers his ears and says he can't hear when she cries but for the most part is pretty tolerant of her baby ways.
Hockey has come to an end and we are moving on to swimming lessons and soccer in April. Let the fun continue!

My Future's So Bright.....

I've got to wear shades.

Reid found these sunglasses in his toy box and I walked in and he had put them on Althea. Super funny, pure entertainment.

His face cracks me up, and she is stunned.

Love Reid in the background!

This one makes me laugh because it looks like she is singing into a fake microphone.  Hope you enjoyed these snap shots.

3 months old!

The last three months have flown by! We talk a lot about how it feels like we've always had Althea, like she has been with us forever. Who knows maybe she is just an old soul that has always been a part of us somehow. Here are a few pictures of our little sweetie pie. Cute pictures yes, technically great, nope. Enjoy her.

Hockey

First time on skates!

Down but discussing an approach.

Reid's best buddy who has been skating a little bit longer than him.....I think they have a plan.

The plan in action.

And there you have it.

Super cutie in his helmet.

Well hockey was going well and then Reid decided that it was just ok and then we had a day when Jerry threw a bunch of pucks on the ice and all of sudden there was a reason to skate! So he had a blast. I don't have any new pictures of him skating with out a chair or cones, I'll take my camera next time. He has had over a week off of hockey so I'm hoping the excitement will be there next time. Have I mentioned that it is funny and slightly painful to watch 3 year olds on skates, in hockey gear, and sticks? Well it is.

Some old pictures

These were taken on January 6th. She looks so much different already! Yesterday Althea turned 3 months old. I just said the other day, no one is saying oh what a little one you have," anymore. She isn't a newborn anymore....completely bitter sweet. Her 3 month picture will come soon!
I've been overtaken by nasty head cold, and I'm hoping the kiddos don't catch it and that it goes away as fast as it hit me! So anyway, I'm slow on the draw and her chair picture will follow in a day or so!

ZOMBIE LAB!!!

The Dr. Dreadful lab series is definitely a favorite! We now have Zombie Lab, Stomach Churner, Bug Lab and Snot Shots. Yes, lovely right? We get to eat bugs, drink zombie barf and eat bubbling brains, snot and ear wax. Lovely, lovely in deed.
