Jacob's First Steps!!!

Jacob took his first steps today! He has been cruising forever and is finally ready to walk. He is also really starting to experiment with language. He can say dadada, mamama, rarara, bababa, owowowow, and I really really think I heard him say ball yesterday. He is changing so quickly it's scary. Today he managed to dump an entire container of spaghetti all over the floor and then 10 minutes later found my wallet and dumped it out. His favorite games are "So Big" "Peek-a-Boo" and clapping. He now has 4 teeth and is biting everything in sight! He is starting to show us his true colors and I think we will have our hands full very soon!

Megan is starting to become a little more adventurous as well. She loved sledding and playing in the snow. She is great at riding her tricycle and I can't wait to see her on her bike. Today we played in the rain with her new umbrella that Santa brought her. She has been using the umbrella inside since Christmas and was ecstatic when it was raining this morning. She continues to love reading books. Lately she has been on a Dr. Suess kick...the loooong books. She gets to read 2 books before nap and bedtime so we have been reading 4 long Dr. Suess books daily. Her favorites include Bartholomew...Oobleck, The Lorax, Scrambled Eggs Super, and the list goes on! She is also starting to recognize letters. We worked on an alphabet book for 3 nights where she put random things on the paper for each letter (sprinkles, glitter, gum, cheerios, etc.). We used a different material for each one. I will post pictures soon! She is really proud of it! She is also into volcano's right now, she loves to read about them, see them on tv, pretend with them, etc!
