Ten on Tuesday

1. Leah is now working on her eighth tooth. She has four on top and three on the bottom. Her eye teeth came in on top before the middle ones...she looked like a little vampire...I tried to capture it before the others came in but it was more difficult that I thought. Finally. And a close-up - never mind the leaf in her mouth!





2. Hannah did much better at dance class this week. She was excited all week and danced around the house. Once we got to class she started crying again. Once again the teacher invited me in to sit and watch. As soon as I came in, Hannah joined the circle and danced all class...with enthusiastic waves to me and Leah. Hopefully she can do it all by herself this week.

4. We went on a fun little hike with the Harris Family this weekend. The girls had so much fun. Emma and Eliza (and more likely Rick) push Hannah to be more adventurous. She crossed a little stream on a log, climbed up high on some rocks, and walked up a tree limb.

5. We signed Hannah up for tee ball. She will be playing with Emma and Eliza and Andy and Rick will be coaches. We are the RED team - go RED!!! It starts mid-April. Hannah picked out a light pink and lavender glove :)

6. We had an interesting guest at lunch yesterday. A big brown bear. His name is Daddy Bear and he sat in Daddy's seat since Daddy was at work. He ate pepperoni and string cheese but didn't like the melon. He drove to our house in his brown car - a BIG brown car that fits his entire family. A mommy bear, a boy bear, a girl bear and a baby bear - that is also a girl. After lunch, we played hide and seek with Daddy Bear and then they all took naps. Daddy and Mommy bear slept in our bed. Baby Bear slept in Leah's crib. The girl bear slept in Hannah's room and the boy bear in the day bed. Hannah told me I didn't need to be scared because they were nice bears, not scary bears. The bears later returned and played in the treehouse. Though Hannah was concerned that it might fall because they were too big. After another quick game of hide and seek with Daddy Bear, the bear family went home.

Yes we have a growing imagination in our house!

7. Leah is learning to climb up and down the stairs. She only does the first three stairs. But she is very proud of herself for figuring out how to go back down.

8. Hannah is on day 3 of no naps. Not by my choice.

9. Hannah is finally a little bit receptive to working on her pronounciation of a few words that have stuck. Tink = pink and beah = leah. Tink is still more natural but when we work on it...she says pink. And Leah is a little bit harder but she has done numerous times. :)

10. I am busy working on a new photography blog - stay tuned!
