Lately

A couple weekends ago, we decided to paint our bathroom! It was definitely fun trying to keep the girls out of the paint. Annika just wanted to paint too! Ady just wanted to be where everyone else was... Well I ended up taking the girls downstairs and Brian did most of the painting. I like how it ended up.

After:



Ady is getting bigger and older. She turned 10 months old last week. (It is totally crazy that she is 10 months old!) She is such a fun girl, and wants to be right where everyone else is. She wants to see what is going on. She is into everything! The other day I found her looking in the cupboard. I thought it was pretty cute.

She has also figured out how to blow bubbles in the tub! I get scared that she is going to inhale a whole bunch of water, but she does a really good job, and loves the tub! (There is a video below but I can't figure out how to move it up here.)

She cut her first tooth the day before she turned 10 months old. She is really good and gumming her food, and loves to eat whatever we are eating.

She is such a climber, we have a little table that she got for Christmas to stand up next to and play on, but I guess that isn't fun enough anymore, because she just likes to climb up on top of it and then climb down.


She has figured out how to go down the stairs. She just follows the rest of us around all day long. And she loves to be outside, and eat anything that she can put in her mouth. Whenever the door opens it cranks it into super fast gear, and she books it to the door.

This is the girls cuddling in our bed.

She loves Annika and always wants to be playing right where Annika is. Today we went on a walk to look at all the animals around the neighborhood, and she loved having Annika in the stroller next to her. She had her hand on Annika's lap most of the time. (Super cute!)

And after our walk today, apparently she loves animals. We saw some cows, and some goats, and some lambs, and cute little baby lambs. And a cat and some dogs, and a horse. She made noises and pointed at all of them, and kept trying to let the goat nibble her fingers!

And Jordan and Alli went on a road trip for their spring break. On their way home they spent the night at our house, and hung out with me and the girls the next day. We went shopping, out to lunch, and to cabela's. The fish tunnel is always lots of fun!


Annika is getting older and older. She has been getting in trouble alot lately for not listening to me. The other day I told her not to go down to the neighbors, she looked at me, and then took off. I guess she is just testing the limits. But she is also really cute! She makes me laugh alot, and she has her moments of pure sweetness. Today her and a friend were playing and she said to her friend "did you know that baby horses are also called colds?" (instead of colts!) She loves being outside riding her scooter or bike, and her favorite saying lately is "I need a friend to play with" She is a fun girl!
