lots of stuff!



Life has been pretty crazy around here.   Andy's been working a ton.  I'm beta testing the Pre (and loving it!), Sydney has school, softball, cheerleading and gymnastics and Foster...  Well, Foster is VERY busy.  He's exploring the world, eating lots of different foods, oh and he's been expressing his opinion. A lot. 

Sydney is still loving kindergarten and is enjoying softball as well.  This morning she wasn't feeling well, so we missed today's game.  She was feeling better by later today, hence the basketball shot.  She was shooting baskets with Andy when I got done feeding Foster before bed... so I had to get in there right away and go over her form with her.  She responded really well and was even "following through" by the time we were done.  She's a very determined girl!

Foster is growing a ton (today a guy thought he was 2 1/2 rather than the 10 months he is) and eating a lot.  He's pretty much off baby food and on table food these days.  He's also saying "ball", "mama", "dada" and "Issy" (sissy) fairly regularly.  He will also give you a high-five. He's learned what "no" means, even if he doesn't always listen.  :-) 

Andy's working away on the Pre and I am doing my part to help by doing some beta testing.  So far, I am preferring it to the iPhone.

Tons!



We have lots going on around here.  Syd started softball last week and we'll have two games a week and one practice a week until early May.  Whew!  That's going to be tough.  She is reading so much lately, too.  Today at book browse at school she read "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" to me.  She read the whole thing to me.  

Foster is also doing well.  He is pretty much off baby food and onto "table food".  Syd was much later in this area, mostly because I was hesitant to give her chunky food.  Foster is ALL OVER IT. Tonight he ate his first dinner completely prepared by me - chicken (slow cooked), carrots and potatoes (all slow cooked).  He ate it right up. He also had an entire week where he slept through the night - but it ended after 8 nights.  

Both kids have the beginnings of a cold, so here's hoping it is *just* a cold for both.

Andy is working tons lately... we're just waiting for the Pre to be released (well, he's not just 'waiting', he's working very hard).  

I am just keeping my head above water.  Foster is a handful these days and takes constant supervision... he's great, though!
