FINALLY I am caught up within the same calendar year AND within 6 months of being caught up on our family blog, whew! I finished school this week (today is now May 27), so I'm hoping to find more time for things I really enjoy, such as this!
This post will be recapping our January through videos and pictures only. I've discovered that, in having 2 kids, it is much more difficult to record dates & milestones when they occur. Which is why in going back and trying to catch up all these months later it's hard to remember what happened last week- let alone half a year ago! One day I'll be caught up;)
Until then!...
DATES TO RECALL:
Jan 6: At lunch in our kitchen there was a squirrel outside eating our birdseed, so I told Adelyn to tell him "scram"..just as effective, I suppose, she walked up to the sliding glass door, knocked on it and said, "Dangit! Those are for our birds!!" What a little spitfire!
Jan 11: Well it only took 8 months for Ian to take a nap...and now that he is officially a "napper" he & Adelyn are even on the same afternoon nap schedule. Yeehaw!
Jan 22: "Adelyn, what shape would you like Mama to cut your sandwich? Square, rectangle, or triangle?" "Circle."
Jan 25: Luc's last day of working crazy hours- we made it!

| Since A has REALLY begun using the potty, Mama made her a potty chart w/ coupons. |
 |
Every time she uses the potty she receives 1 coupon (there are 15 total), and 2 for going #2.
When she gets 5, 10, or 15 she gets to choose a treat (usually M&M's). So proud of my big girl!! |
