Silly pictures & latest happenings

I can't believe Katie is nearly 9 months old! She is trying new foods often, I have been much more brave when introducing her to new foods. She loves any food she can eat with her hands, instead of off a spoon. She is a big fan of bananas, cheerios, puffs, avocados, and berries. I have made her a few pureed chicken/veggie/potato dishes that she eats them. Her favorite veggies are peas and squash.

Katie is a MOVER! She never sits in one spot! She started with an army crawl in early December, she is close to a real crawl. She has started "talking" with words like "da-da-da". I have not heard "ma-ma" yet.

Life with Kevin is a blast (most days)! I have really noticed a big change in his personality between 3 years old and now that he is close to 4. Whoever termed the preschool years as the "magical years" was definitely right! Kevin has a wonderful imagination and loves to play with all of super hero action figures and trains. One of favorite parts of the day is when I am in kitchen and able to overhear him playing games with his toys. He talks to them, names them, races with them. We continue to love Kevin's preschool, which is at our church. Today they are hosting Indoor Energy Days (think of it as preschool gym class). The kids are going to do calisthenics, yoga, relay games, make smoothies and trail mix. I wonder how you go about teaching yoga to 3 and 4 year- olds?

Dan and John left this get-up here at Christmas time, Kevin has fun with it:
