A's Laugh

Chris got A laughing really well for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was so glad to get this video of it.

M loves her Cozy Coupe that she got for Christmas, which she has since dubbed "Santa Car". She was having a hard time getting her bag of puppies and scriptures in with her the other day, so I had to wedge it in on top of her before she was happy. There's not a lot of storage for things like that in there.

I don't know if she calls it "Santa" because we told her that Santa brought it to her or because it is red like Santa. Either way, it's hilarious. She always manages to leave it right in front of the garage door or right in the middle of the kitchen triangle (stove, sink, fridge).

Santa Car's license plate says "CZY COUP", which I like to think stands for Crazy Coupe instead of Cozy Coupe. Santa's future remains to be seen, whether he ends up staying inside in the basement or going outside in the summer. Once he goes outside, there's no coming back.

A has started to really motate lately. She rolled from her tummy to back this week and also started laughing. Chris is the only one who can really get her giggling so far, but she always has a smile for everyone.

She is such a little cutie and a joy to have in our family.

I have some videos of A's laugh and M being silly, but I haven't gotten them off the camera yet, so that will be our next post.

Portraits

I took some portraits of the kiddos last week. I think they turned out pretty well, and I am trying to decide if I can afford to get some of these made into canvases.

Favorites?

More of M's Birthday

For M's birthday, we went and picked Chris up from work for lunch at Burger King. We picked BK because it was the only restaurant we could find near Chris's office that has an indoor playground. M loved the crown, playground, chicken nuggets, fries, and chocolate milk. I think it was a lot of fun for her just watching the other kids running around. As we were leaving, M was wearing her sunglasses and crown like in the picture above, and a lady told us we were bringing Hollywood. It was pretty perfect.

We tried to keep the presents to a minimum this year, while we still can, so we got M one big present and one small present. Her big present was this trike:

Incidentally, she loves it. I was able to get a really good deal on it at Christmastime, but only if I bought the pink one. Since we now have two girls, I figured it would be worth it. M's small present was an accessory to the dollhouse she got for Christmas:

Now her dollhouse has a mom, dad, baby, and sister, just like our family! I thought that was too great to pass up. She has been able to use her trike a couple of times already with the nice weather we had last week.

We blessed A last Sunday and had a little family party for M at the same time since it was only three days after her birthday. I made an owl cake for her and some chocolate cupcakes.
