HOPE

Jude is very excited about spelling HOPE and Hazel is very excited about getting into the shot.

Super Bowl Picnic

We had our first family picnic in the family room! All the kids seemed to enjoy it. Before we sat down to eat, Jude kept signing "all done" in reference to watching football, but as soon as he had food he was happy. 

Truck pushing

This is a new favorite activity. They do this almost every evening (and sometimes during the day). They often fight about who gets what in their truck. They push beads, blocks, shoes, you name it and follow each other around for several minutes. Sorry it's so long. Oh, and that's the not the first time Jude has gone in the water heater closet.

Favorite Things

A few weeks ago, Hazel and Jude started moving the chairs from Hazel's table over to this bench. Then they sit and "read" their books together. It's so cute! 

Cuties

The kids love to watch the cars drive by. I think they just look so sweet here.

Nona's news

Nona is growing and changing so much, but I wanted to make sure you all knew that she still likes to make her favorite face. Okay, that's not her news, but it is funny.

 A week and a half ago, Nona was barely pulling to stand. As of a few days ago, she is pulling to stand on everything, cruising along things, climbing on things, and even standing a few seconds on her own. Whoa! 

The best part is that she is SO much happier!!!! She had been so cranky for weeks, and we're quite sure it was due to her frustration. Once she started pulling to stand on her own, she turned into a much happier baby. She is anxious to walk and we're ready for that too (my back is killing from walking around bent over holding her hands). Yay Nona!
