No More Snow!

It is March and we have had about a week of 75-80 degree days, so I thought that I needed to update my blog, since it had a snowman on it. Stella has been sick, she had a fever, runny nose, and cough that pulled at the heartstrings.
She is over it now, which is so much nicer! Here the girls are helping me make cookies.
Stella woke up early from her nap, so I gave her a bunch of cheerios so I could finish up some work.
She is climbing up on everything now and starting to cruise.
She also is starting to get into a lot of stuff, so I need to make sure to pay attention to where she is at all times.
And she isn't the only one who gets into things, her sister likes to sneak jelly beans if they are out on the counter.
I love this picture of Stella, it looks like she has a funny secret.
The other day I put Leila down for nap with her head on the foot side and she thought this was the greatest thing ever, so most naps are now upside down.

Leila's First Snowman

We kept on waiting for the snow to come back so that Leila could make a snowman. She really wanted to make one and for some reason this winter was not cooperating. We finally had some snow again, so Jeremy went out with Leila to build one.
The conditions were not perfect, but Jer managed to roll up enough snow.
I got to look for items in the house for him to wear and make up his face.
Here Leila is holding his hand.
Here are the makers and the snowman, which Leila named Red Fred.

Unfortunately Red Fred keeps losing his face and buttons due to melting, and Leila is pretty upset about it. "Poor Red Fred!" We keep putting him back together again, but there will be a point when he is too far gone.

Big Things

Leila is starting to drink out of big girl cups.
And with that comes, "Look, I have a milk whisker!!"

Yes baby, you have a milk mustache.
