January

With lots of visitors, sports and cold weather, January went by really quick.  Here is a snapshot of what the kids were up to.

Avery (5 months) - Avery seems so much bigger than she did just a month ago.  She loves to stand up in her jumper and be up right.  When on the ground she likes to roll and play with her feet.  She has had an off an on cold for several weeks which didn't seem to bother her too much.

Parker (3 years, 2 months) - Parker is coming into his own a bit more each month.  He still adores his brother but it also not afraid to talk back to him when he wants.  His dietary preference consists of cheese dip, fruit, chicken, green pasta and the occasional kale chip.  He loves to play with planes and cars.  He has learned all his letters and loves to point them out and spell his name.

Carter (4 years, 8 months) - Carter has had a busy month visiting various Kindergartens as we try to find the right fit for the little guy.  He has had a lot of fun with it and asked to visit 8 schools to compare (I don't think that will happen).  Other than that, he is enjoying basketball, playing with his toys and taking lot of adventures.  And his current favorite activity is watching Master Chef, Junior.

Siblings - The kids are all so much fun together.  The boys definitely wrestle and occasionally struggle with sharing but they adore each other.  They are both smitten with Avery.  Carter's latest craze is singing "Kiss the Girl" from the Little Mermaid and then peppering Avery with kisses.
