This & That...

Here's what we've been up to lately:

Painted Bean's toes for the first time!

Helping Mom in the kitchen.

Playing in her fort.
And of course, we got more snow....so we took Berit sledding for the first time! 






She threw some fits....



More ballet...Her teacher complemented her on Monday....there was actually more listening, more dancing and LESS hanging on the bar.





And of course, lots of time with Maya.

21 months!


Today is Bean's 21 month birthday....can't believe we are creeping up to the 2 year mark.  LOTS went on this month...including a little something called ATTITUDE!  Suddenly, she has an opinion about what she wears, who dresses her, when she gets dressed, who changes her diaper, what she eats, where she eats, where we go, when we go...need I go on?  I guess we're approaching the terrible two's, but honestly I thought my sweet little angel baby was going to avoid them because she was oh, so sweet.  I guess I was mistaken.  Oh, and let me just add that Daddy can do no wrong.  She's a Daddy's girl that's for sure.  I think she is just bored with me!

  • Lots of NEW words:  Elmo,  juice, no way, go away (her first two word sentences), heart, nose, eye, elbow, hat, OK, yucky, bath, all right, cup, eat, BIG A, Auntie M (M), Judy!
  • Repeating lots of what she hears-- she probably has a lot more words then I give her credit for!
  • Uses the word 'please' (peas) a lot-- she knows just how to use it to get what she wants.
  • Loves to smell things (coffee, tea, flowers, her Vicks VaborRub!)
  • LOVES to jump and spin! 
  • Scared of loud trucks and the blender.
She continues to love school, her friends, and she is such a fun kid-- terrible two's and all!

Hangin' with her buddies

Ballet bound

Sweetness

Bean & Dad

Snowmageddon

Denver got blasted with a giant storm this past weekend.  It started snowing Friday morning and didn't stop until Saturday morning.  We got a grand total of 18 inches at the house.  Berit hasn't really made her mind up about snow.  She doesn't like wearing gloves so it seems by default she doesn't like going out in the snow because her hands are always cold.  On the other hand, she sure does like to eat it, so the verdict is still out I guess. 


All bundled up.

Not sure about this cold stuff.

Take two- here comes the sun.

On a walk with Dad.

Eatin' snow.

Snow chair.
Oh, and we have started Ballet again.  She's doing really well jumping and standing on her tippy toes.

She's a Neal...



This girl loves her milk...with Oreos.
