Lots of Love!

I could roll over if this wall wasn't in the way!!!

Hey Baby Woocy!

Jack just wanting to be next to his little sister!

What are you doing Lucy?

Hmmmm.... does it just come natural?

Hello world!

Here I am!

It's the new year and back to routine and reality! As much as I dreaded it...it is nice to be back into a routine (and not eating so much every day!) Whew! We really lived it up in December. Lots of excuses to not worry about it! We really did have a great December!
It seems like every year gets better than the last! How can you top 2010 though? Lucy was born, Jack turned 2, we went to the beach twice, great trip to Napa, Jack was potty trained and moved into his big boy bed, fun holidays, a 30th and 35th birthday, Poppa turned 60, lots of time with family and friends. It was so much fun! (Believe me..we have the (THOUSANDS) of pictures to prove it)
There is so much to look forward to this year! It is already fun to watch Jack talk to Lucy. It will be so much fun when she reacts to him more.

Kid updates!
Lucy is still doing really great! She is very active and wants to be moving around and kicking her arms and legs any time she is awake! She has rolled over several times (stomach to back)! She is still very bright eyed and looking around.  She tends to get the maddest when she is really sleepy. She will put on quite a show and then quickly pass out in your arms.  She is sleeping from about 9pm-5am most days. It has been pretty consistent for the past week. We are crossing our fingers that she keeps this up. It is so great to get a solid night of sleep.  We are falling into a routine with putting them to bed. Jack goes down around 8pm and Lucy around 9pm. We will slowly move Lucy's bedtime a little earlier when she starts sleeping a little later.

Jack is still talking non-stop most of the time he is awake. He amazes us with the things he says and remembers. He tells us a lot that "Christmas time is over"..and then follows it with "What's next?!" We have lots of make-believe around here too. He thinks that "Baboo" (This horrible scary looking thing on a playing card at Nunno and Poppa's house) is around the corner. Baboo really scares Daddy and Jack thinks that is hilarious.  He also tries to remember which day something happens. He told me that he fell down and got a boo boo on Wednesday at a friend's house (it was actually a Saturday, but just happy that he is trying to put it together).  The director of Jack's school stopped Steven this morning to tell him that they think Jack is just so smart.  He is still really well behaved at school and has not made it to time out yet.   He has loved playing football at school too. He came home last night talking about doing a "Side-step" and how to hold the ball on the laces! He recognizes all of his numbers and letters. He recognizes some names and words. He knows all the days of the week and months of the year. He puts together 24-30 piece puzzles by himself. His favorite things to do are still read books and play with his flash cards.  His small cars and small figures that came with his "digger" are running a close second though.  He talks to them and plays so well independently. It is fun to listen to him and watch him play.  He also LOVES to sing. He sings so many songs! It is fun to listen to hims some nights after we put him to bed! He really sings all the time! Jack loves to give "big hugs and kisses".  This is something I hope he continues to do for a LONG time. We usually have to go into his room one more time each night to "Cover me up!" and give "Big hugs and kisses". Jack loves to hug "Baby Wooocy" all the time and will tell her "It's alright Baby Woocy, don't cry..I got you..I got you." It is so sweet. He likes to see her and lay with her on the activity mat and kiss her good night.   Jack also is learning to talk about his family and who is in his family. It's so sweet to hear him list everyone. He usually then says that family gives big hugs and kisses and we love them "so much".  Jack always says "I love you so much"! He is our sweet little man!

The kids are so cute! Here are a few new pictures of them!
