January Highlights

I couldn't let January get too far away without posting pictures of some fun highlights of the month...

We had our own little New Year's Party at our house - complete with party hats, horns, and beads. No one was more excited than Andrew! (Except for maybe May-May who supplied most of our party goodies. Thanks, May-May!) He and I made cupcakes to eat after our dinner. Then, he INSISTED on Wilson taking him to get some RED sparklers. What a fun night!

"Camping!"

The boys got a cute Curious George book for Christmas, and one of their favorite stories in it is "Curious George goes Camping". Needless to say, this has sparked a huge new interest of camping in Andrew. He is SO ready to go camp, and climb a mountain, and sleep in his sleeping bag, and roast marshmallows... He's READY!!! Do you remember all of those cold days in January? Well, we set up a little tent in the den a lot and the boys pretended to camp. They brought their "bitty" pillows, sleeping bags, blankets and books in, and we ate a snack of chocolate chips, mini-marshmallows, and graham crackers. It was a great way to entertain my stir-crazy boys. The only problem is Andrew still wants a snack of chocolate chips and marshmallows every day when he wakes up from his nap. :)

The 1st picture right above is of Andrew roasting a marshmallow on a stick. Wilson pulled out his small camping burner one cold night for he and Andrew to roast marshmallows over. Poor Forrest was sick and was miserable having to watch thru the window. But, they did share some with all of us. The 2nd is the boys in the tent. Neither the boys nor the camera were being very cooperative... but we had to catch the memory.

Forrest is sleeping in a big boy bed!!

We made the transition about 3 weeks ago. After watching the boys do acrobatic tricks from the top of the changing table into the crib, we decided that for safety reasons we just had to make the change. He's done great! Proud of our big boy!

And sweet baby girl is rolling! She's been rolling for several weeks, but how funny to leave her on the playmat and come back a few minutes later to find this! She looks so excited, doesn't she?! I took pictures today of her sitting up by herself. I just can't believe how big she is getting. She'll be 6 months old on Saturday!
