Gingerbread

Aunt Becca sent Tate some fun mail which included some gingerbread house decorating candies. I constructed houses out of graham crackers and Tate and his workers decorated it with candy. It was a lot of fun. He slept over at grandma and grandpa's and did great. He went to bed just fine and then he was up for a little while in the morning then went back to sleep until mid morning. 

Sick

I took the girls to the doctor today. They have had colds for a while and they got worse. The doctor thinks it is just viral. Tate stayed with grandma and didn't want to leave when I got back and still didn't want to leave when dad was ready to come home for the day. He stayed for supper and Brett went back to get him. He must have played super hard because he was tired and had a night terror. 

Big girls

Ellie has been working hard at standing without holding onto anything. She stood for 14 seconds today. She really loves to walk behind her little push toy. She always goes to the left and gets stuck and whines until you get her going again. Audrey tried standing on her own today too and managed to take a few steps with the push toy. Both girls are working on teeth and have bad colds. I am taking them both to the doctor in the morning. Tate has really formed a great friendship with a kid named Luke that is in his class. He tells me all about what they did together at school. 

Q

Giggle

We are trying to get the girls to sleep in the same room again. Audrey woke up Ellie at 4:30 then they giggled for a while and Audrey went back to sleep. Ellie was up for the day. After church we went on adventure to a play place and loaded the van full at Sam's. Everyone had a good day. Audrey is started to get some bumps on her gums. 

Names

QTate has started to call the girls names if they touch his toys. Usually it is just stinker or bad girl but today he told Audrey that she was pee and needed to be flushed down the toilet. Poor guy was really upset. He had a lot of fun in the snow this afternoon. The girls have started to talk to and laugh at each other. It is the sweetest thing. 

Boobies

Tate was playing with Barbies today and brought a few up at bedtime. He took their shirts off and told us he likes their boobies sticking out. Everyone had a pretty good day!

Bath

The girls got their 9 month pictures taken yesterday. Ellie wasn't feeling it and whined and cried the whole time. Tate and I went to story hour today so I could take my friend some food since she has a new baby. My mom watched the girls. He didn't want to go at all. He did well while we were there but didn't want to participate in the song or finish his craft. The rest of the day he didn't want to listen and did everything in his power to do the opposite of what I wanted. The girls had fun in the bath tonight.
