Snow day fun

Yesterday we finally got the snow (and ice) that the weatherman promised!! Griffin woke up at 6:30 to a blanket of white and couldn't wait to get outside! This was Julia's first real snow experience so we weren't sure how she would like it.... She loved it!!! She stomped in the snow, got snow dumped on her head by Griffin, and even tasted a little.... Griffin loved going down the slide with ice and snow and throwing snowballs!! It was so cold but a perfect day to be homebound!!

Julia has been babbling non-stop for several months now but we couldn't recognize any words until recently. Here are a few of her favorites right now:

Puppy (our personal favorite!)
bubby (griffin)
Mommy
Dada
I-E, I-E ( chorus of Old McDonald)
io's (cheerios)
Baby
Baba (bottle)
Bok (block)
Cookie
Cup
Boots

Of course, hearing them in her little voice is priceless....stay tuned for a video!!

Bookworm

I have often wondered if my busybody Julia would slow down enough to fall in love books as much as Griffin. Until recently she has shown no real interest in books or being read to. But it seems we have turned a corner. She has become obsessed with puppies and searches the pages of books looking for pictures of them! In the process, she is sitting in my lap and letting me read to her while she's the official page turner.
