Now I know mine ABC's!

Bathtime fun

Brother and sister are sharing bathtime now, which is an interesting experience. Apparently, 2-1/2-year-olds don't like to share toys in OR out of the bathtub. They are cute, though! And here is a picture of Brady's first "shiner." He hit the kitchen floor face-first, no hands to catch him (since he had crawled in the back basket of the new stroller and tipped forward). Ouch. This picture doesn't do it justice, because it was a ginormous bruise.

Spring-like weather!

We know Mother Nature is just teasing us, but it's still fun! Lauren looooooooves the swing, and Brady just plain loves being outside. It has been so windy (as you can tell from Lauren's expressions), but we don't care!

First Snow Day of 2009!

We finally got a great, white, fluffy snow that we could play in! Brady loved it and didn't want to come inside, even when snot was running down his face and his cheeks were the color of strawberries. Lauren had to be bundled up in a bunch of her brother's old winter clothes and couldn't really move, so she pretty much hated it. The dogs had a great time playing "catch the snowball," and we all did some laps around the yard. Having kids is so fun because you get to act like a kid too :).

Brother and sister goofing around

The best sound in the world is your kids' laughter. Of course, most of the giggles stopped right when I picked up the camera, but this is pretty cute. Brady and Lauren are really starting to love each other and play together...and fight over toys :).

It's COLD

It is FREEZING in St. Louis, but sometimes you just have to get outside!

Potty-training rock star!

Brady is officially going potty on the big-boy chair!

It's taken some convincing and lots of rewards (like this, Jeremy the Jet Plane--Thomas the Train's friend--that he carried around with him for a day and a half), but he is doing so great!
