Christmas Day

I am sure Nate will love this picture when he gets older.

Zoe exclaimed, "Look! I got a wand with PJs and slippers!"

Presents, presents & more presents.

Notice Zoe has her hands on Nate's head.

Snow Day

Today was a snow much fun day. Zoe & Daddy both stayed home because we got over 9 inches of snow quickly in the early morning hours. Zoe had a great time *helping* shovel the snow while Nate watched on from indoors.

I've got your back...

This is what Zoe says right before hitting me in the back with a snowball!

Too Cute!

You Know You Have Too Much Time on Your Hands When...

...you stop your car in your driveway, get out & brush the snow off of the tires before driving in the garage.

Tony & I both watched our neighbor actually do this just now...

"Damage!"

While eating her breakfast this morning, Zoe looked out the window to our snow covered patio and exclaimed:

"Damage! I still have lots of snow to shovel."

Me: "What was the first word you said?"

Zoe: "Damage."

Using my 4-year old speak translator, I quickly deduced that this was not a word she should be saying. For those you not fluent in 4-year old, she was trying to say "dammit". But, it was still funny!

Princess Infestation

It's official. Princesses have take over our entire house - they are even in the canned goods section of the lazy susan...

Lift, Loft & Dropper

Zoe had a "joke" for me that Daddy taught her.

She said: "Lift, Loft & Dropper."

Daddy translated, "Live, Long & Prosper."

Santa

A Request for Santa

While on the way to visit Santa, we asked Zoe what she thought Nate would like for Christmas, she replied:

"A Dinosaur."

She paused & corrected herself:

"A Not Real Dinosaur."

Tony & I laughed and agreed that a *not real* dinosaur would be best, but if Santa only had real ones, then we would prefer a herbivore weighing less than two tons. I mean, you couldn't trust a carnivore around two cats & two small children. That just has disaster written all over it.

Nate's 1st *Solid* Food

Last Monday night, we gave Nate his first solid food (rice cereal). He really wasn't very interested. We put the cereal in, he pushed it out & let it sit there on his lips. Then cried.

After a couple of days of playing with it, Nate realized that he could swallow this stuff. He does a pretty job now, opening his mouth for more & eating twice a day.

Shh...don't tell

Yep, Nate's in a walker, with wheels. Please don't report me.

Nate is a little undecided about the walker. He doesn't really make it go yet, but Zoe loves to zoom him around (maybe a little too much actually.)
