Acomplishments!

We are amazed by what the kids can do now! They all have a check up on March 1st so at that time we will have an update on how big they are now!

Anna is loving preschool and continues to amaze us with her growing vocabulary and skills. She is learning about the continents (she even points them out when she sees them at places like the zoo or on a globe). She really enjoyed Valentine's day and was very happy to wear her heart "dress".


For Tom's birthday, Anna made him a card. She wrote his name all on her own! We just instructed her on the best way to write them and she did the rest! And after only writing some letters for the last month and a half a preschool! And she signed her name on the back! It wasn't as straight and her small a looks a bit like a q. We are so proud of her and amazed at how quickly she is learning to write! Way to go Anna!
Olivier had a lot of boo-boos last week. He took a big spill and scratched up his face and he banged his lip and got a fat lip and cut. There was a few more spills, thankfully relatively minor in comparison! We weren't able to catch it on video but he did sleep eat at lunch time this weekend just like Anna used to do! Poor guy was tired, now just if he would learn to nap!

Here is Mason half awake eating lunch over the weekend. We have moved him to eat at the table with us. Olivier is still in the high chair because he does tend to be so messy. I think he was tired because he is busy getting around the house because he is now walking! Yeah! He has been for a few weeks now but he has really made progress in the last few days on the amount of walking he is doing versus crawling.

And here is a video of Mason showing off his steps!
