Baseball Fans

Alex and Julia had a great time at the Mariner's Fan Fest.  Alex ran the bases, hit some balls, and threw some balls to knock over cans.  Julia loved the lights, sounds, and watching Alex.  She wants to run the bases next year.  Alex still does not like the Moose up close.

Talking Practice

Julia is learning how to talk. Here is some of her good practice.

Winter

Julia has been making friends.  She really likes smiling and practicing her talking.  Recently, when she practices talking, she frequently shouts.  It comes out pretty hilarious.  Below is a video of some of her more quiet talking.  Her doctor says she has a mild ear infection, but she has hardly complained at all.

Alex was sick one day this week.  Other than that, he has had fun playing inside.

Our blog postings have been limited recently due to a camera breakdown.  A new camera is here and here are some new pictures!

Julia is Growing Up Fast!

Julia is now able to grab things and move them around.  She especially likes putting toys in her mouth and pulling on the toys in her gym.  She is now able to roll over (tummy to back) consistently.  We are still trying to get a video.

Julia's first week of daycare has gone great!  She has done very well and her teachers have told us how much they like her constant smiles and her even temprament.  It was  a hard week for Mom, but she is adjusting. 

Alex's friend Gabe is coming over tomorrow and the boys are looking forward to playing music, cars, trains, etc.

Holiday Travels

We had a great holiday trip! We went to the Twin Cities, San Diego, and Palm Desert. We have lots of pictures even thought our camera stopped working half-way through the trip. In addition to catching up with family, highlights were:
-- making a snow man and the Nickelodeon theme park in Minnesota
-- Legoland and the beach in San Diego
-- tennis and the sun in Palm Desert
