First Week of Spring

March 21, 2011

First day of Spring!!  And a beautiful spring day it is!  This morning, as I took Hannah's PJ's off, I found a big wad of stickers stuck to her belly.  I don't know what it is, but she is obsessed with putting stuff down her shirt!  Sam is sooooo incredibly close to crawling.  He is always getting up onto all fours, and he will move a leg forward, but he just can't get those arms moving!  Tonight, as we put Hannah up to bed it took her a while to follow asleep.  About an hour after we put her to bed, we let the dogs outside and they were barking as they went out.  When Hannah heard them, we heard in the monitor, "Stop barking, Oreo."  Haha!  Cracked me and Josh up...  No, we don't have a dog named Oreo... but my in-laws do.  And even though Hannah knows what a dog is and she knows our dogs names, she still calls our dogs Oreo :)  It's so cute!

A day of many firsts!!!  Sam started really army crawling.  He can make it across the living room in no time now... I turn around and he is missing sometimes :)  We also went for a walk and to the park for the first time this year!

We went swinging and down the slide a lot! It was great to get out and get some fresh air!  When we got back I gave Sam some puffs... his first ones!  He actually did pretty good with them, but he really didn't like eating them!  Then this evening, Hannah crawled up on the couch for the first time by herself!  This is a HUGE accomplishment for her!  With how short she is, it has taken a long time for her to be able to crawl up on anything!  She just started crawling up on chairs by herself... but I have to watch out.  She crawls up on anything now that she realizes she can do it.  She crawls on furniture, up on tables, the coffee table, and the back of the couch.  Oh my... My mother-in-law thinks she'll be the first to break a bone, and she's probably right!  :)  And I found Napoleon on top of my Kitchen table twice today!!!  I couldn't believe it, he has never done that before and I was soooo mad!  I hope he doesn't try to make that a habit!

So Hannah is in this really bad phase of tearing tissues and napkins into little pieces and throwing them on the floor.  Tonight I found Hannah at the kitchen table doing it once again (for the third time today) and after I disciplined her and made her get down on the ground to clean them up, she says, "Wait Mommy."  She then reaches into the top of her shirt and starts to pull out about 5 tissues, one at a time.  I couldn't help but laugh!

I cleaned the downstairs today and opened all the windows to air it out!  I feel so energized by the warm weather and sun... but tonight I feel depressed knowing that the cold weather is only hours away :(  Oh warm weather, I will miss you!
