Kaitlyn's First Bonk as a Result of Crawling

The First Mess Kaitlyn Ever Made

Well, besides messy diapers...

A Magic Trick

Ice Fishing

(The boys spent all day last Saturday ice fishing with the Knights and the Ellsworths.)

Ice fishing was fun. We went with Eric Knight, Zachary Knight and his dad, and Holden and Wesley and his dad. And Daddy took us. And we also goed sledding. We catched a fish. And I caught a fish by myself. My favorite part of the whole trip was sledding.

Love, Aidan

I had a fun time ice fishing. I had fun playing with the dogs. It was fun there. What we did with the dogs is we found a pine cone, we would toss it in the air and the dogs would catch it. (Other ice fishermen brought dogs.)

Love, Ethan

Snuggies

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Snuggy.
Snuggy who?
My Snuggy is so snuggy!

It has a button on it. And when you want to close it, it has a yarn strip like this long (24 in) and you roll it up, and then you tie the long strip to the Snuggy and then you tie it so it can stay.

Love, Aidan

I like my Snuggy. And one of our friends sewed it for us and it's fun to have around me. I like it.

Love, Ethan

Determination

Sledding on CAL Ranch Hill

Today Daddy took us sledding. And I jumped on a little hill and a big hill. A little jump. It was fun, really much. It was cold. But I was sweating, and I was sweating and I made this (a fauxhawk). I really like to sled that day.

Love,
Aidan

I liked sledding. It was really fun. I fell down on purpose once, because I didn't fall at all the whole time. It was so fun. We really liked it. We did some pretty big jumps. Plus we stayed there for an hour and thirty minutes.

Love,
Ethan

Piano Recital

My piano recital with all of my students was last night (I have 10 students not including Ethan and Aidan). I haven't done lessons on a very regular basis with Ethan and Aidan, but they are both on the last song in level one. The day before my piano recital (Wednesday), Ethan decided he wanted to be in my recital. So he learned and memorized "Good King Wenceslas" in one day! Here's the video of him playing:

Kaitlyn's Six Month Checkup

Kaitlyn had her 6 month doctor's appointment this morning. Here are her percentiles:

weight: 17 lbs, 10 oz (79th percentile)
height: 27 inches (87th percentile)
head circumference: 43 cm (64th percentile)

She is doing really well. Yesterday I fed her sweet potatoes for the first time. She LOVED it and eagerly ate the entire container. She rolls all over the place. She squeals and makes high-pitched screams when she laughs (neither boy did this - is it a girl thing?) She is such a sweetheart and we LOVE having her in our family!
