Spring Time...Kind of...

I think that it is officially spring, but it doesn't feel like it outside.  The last couple weeks we have been getting between 6 and 12 inches of snow each week.  Milo is loving it because it means he gets to shovel, one of his favorite activities these days.  He is very into "Fireman Sam"  and "Bob the Builder".  He gets to watch between a half hour and hour of his cartoons each day.  The time limit depends on how long Mom and Dad want to sleep in or how much we have to get done.  He is full of phrases that seem extra funny when a two year old says them:   "Daddy, you're so silly"  "Oh gosh" "that was awesome" or a less appropriate "dammit"(used in good context).  The other night we went to the baseball game and while crossing under a bridge Milo stopped, pulled on my hand and said:  "Mommy this is awesome" while looking up at the underside of the bridge.   This made his dad, the bridge engineer, very happy.

Liesel is now sitting up like a big girl and is eating all sorts of things: bananas, peas, carrots, pumpkin....  Though her giggle is not the belly laugh of her brothers she laughs and smiles often.  I have had multiple people ask me if she ever cries and the truth is not very often.  She is a total flirt and much more social than Mo was at this age.  We were at dinner the other night at our favorite mexican joint and there was a mariachi band.  They came to our table to play....Milo wasn't sure what to think he kept a close eye on them and only barely cracked a smile.  Liesel, on the other hand, shared her gummy grin with everyone and couldn't help but dance. 


So many kissable cheeks!!

One of our new routines consists of playing outside prior to dinner, weather permitted.

Liesel's first game.

Around the the 7th inning Liesel needed a nap

After about 15 minutes she was ready to party again.  She was a happy girl in Uncle Matt's lap.
