Haircut in the Big Chair
Cooper is getting to be such a big kid. I had all of the toys and snacks packed to help “convince” him that sitting in the haircut chair by himself, instead of on my lap, was a good idea. He needed none of that and sat there happily chatting away with Diane while she cut his…

Remote Master
Nicholas is obsessed with remotes. Today he was extra proud because he was able to turn the television on all by himself. It takes two different power buttons and is pretty impressive to think he found those buttons out of all of the options on the remote.

Easter
We were very lucky to get to spend Easter afternoon with my Aunt Janet, cousin Michelle and her family. Cooper thinks Stephen is so cool and spent most of our time there just watching what he was doing. He enjoyed using his stick to scrape the moss off of the tree. He probably did this to stay…

PEPS Hike
The Sadlier family organized a list of hikes to do as a PEPS group this summer. After doing a hike yesterday as a family I must admit it is also really fun to do a hike with other toddlers. They bring a different perspective to the hike and keep each other so motivated. This week we…

Family Weekend
We took full advantage of being home for an expected weekend. Friday we checked out the Mountlake Terrace Pool where the kids both loved splashing in their the toddler area and lazy river.

Egg Hunt

Nicholas didn’t end up wanting to crawl towards any eggs when the time came, but he did have the official participant wristband so I think it should count. During the 5 minute count down Cooper was brimming with excitement to get out there…

13 Months
Development: Nicholas has now climbed his first step and is getting even faster at crawling. He loves to chase after his brother. After months of sign language he signed back his first sign, all done, during a meal. https://youtu.be/2fsl8rMQXag Nicholas loves when you tell him no in a teasing way and remove him from an object. Example:…

Outnumbered Restaurant Experience
After a failed attempt to workout at the gym with the kids in childcare (called back after just 15 minutes) I decided to take advantage of needing to get the kids loaded up in the car again. We adventured out to Chiptotle, at noon, on a beautiful sunny workday. The restaurant was packed and the…

Crib Climber?
Not yet. It is getting a bit ridiculous, but everyone says we should continue to enjoy this time before he moves to a big boy bed. We wanted to capture the few inches remaining before he touches both ends of his crib when he is laying down. After his afternoon nap, Cooper waits for me to come into…
