A little glimpse at January with these two ...
1. Uncle Brendan got them passes to the Childrens' Museum for Christmas and we've had several fun mornings there since! It is no surprise that Lyla's favorite spot is the vet clinic with the "PUPPIES!".
I love that they add new things frequently ... their recent focus being animals. They got two guinea pigs (with petting hours haha) and are working on hatching fish eggs right now! Last spring they hatched baby chicks ... hoping they do that again this year.
It's fun to go on mommy daughter dates there while Liam is at preschool sometimes. She's the best salad maker and adds allllll the extra parmesan cheese from a shaker that any girl could ever dream of.
The cave is also a big hit for the headlamps and creepy bugs to spot. Liam loves going to see this preserved bat. It's so fun to go with friends (when we can keep them all together in one place!).
2. Spending Christmas money at Target for new legos and a cash register!
She played with this toy all day after she got it. Now she just likes to scream into that screechy microphone. Who let her pick this toy again?! haha
3. We spent an afternoon working on Christmas thank you cards for family that live far away. Liam drew a picture for each one and I was secretly sad I couldn't keep them because look at how great they all are!!!
4. Had a good hair day and it needed to be documented. :)
5. I have gathered quite the collection of pictures to embarrass Liam with when he brings girlfriends over someday. ;)
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
6. When you find a matching sweater to wear with your best girlfriend!!
7. Ever since January 1st Lyla has officially dropped her nap. It was really hard at first and sometimes still is but we are finding a groove. Being that she is only 2 1/2 and younger than Liam ever was for this phase, her lack of attention span during quiet time is new territory for me. She lasts maybe 20 minutes of a movie while I sneak away (usually to my room to have my own alone time from them) and then like clock work, comes and finds me. To stretch it out a little longer I'll let her choose a different show to watch on a phone beside me.
She's darn cute though and tries to use her looks to get away with anything she wants. haha She knocked over that nightstand this day and bent the lamp on top of it pretty bad. While I was working on fixing it she stole the light bulb and gave me this face when I noticed it was missing. haha Little stinker!
Cutest little thing ever!
Hope we always look at each other this way ... love her so much!
8. About 4 to dinner time is the hardest time of day for me during the winter. In the summer we just head outside but I've had to get more creative and making forts with our new entryway chairs has been a total hit. They each choose a few books for me to read to them and bring their own flashlights under there. It gets claustrophobic after about 2 minutes.
9. One of our lasts dinners together at our old table. Just like an old house, we have a lot of memories wrapped around that piece of furniture. Can't wait to share the new one too!
10. Free day at the Boise Zoo! The line was many blocks long but luckily moved quickly. We bundled up and made a few quick stops at our favorite animals. No prairie dogs that day though ...
11. When Sita has a day off work and lives by the best playground!
