Flyin' High

Updates on Ian:

- He is a total ham.

- He is definitely, definitely a Mama's boy.

- He now says Mama and Dada. He started saying Dada about a week ago.

- He loves food. A lot.

- He started being able to feed himself some finger foods, like puffs, earlier this week. This is huge, considering how much he loves food.

- He is a giggly, giggly, giggly little boy.

- With his bottom 2 teeth fully in, he decided to go for the gusto and go for 4 top teeth as once. Despite this, he is still a happy, giggly little man.

- Anja is his hero and can make him laugh or stop crying at any given time. Simply hearing ABCs from her will make him stop crying within seconds.

Updates on Anja:

- She is becoming quite the dare devil. Please note the pictures above. One of her favorite activities these days is jumping. She calls it flying. Any location will do, but the stairs are her favorite. Especially if she is wearing, well, something abnormal. Or nothing at all.

- Sassiness comes in spades with this girl.

- She loves classes of any type. Right now she is in dance class with Miss Gwen, swim lessons with Miss Paulette, and preschool with Miss Courtney and Miss Sandy.

- Forts are another favorite hobby. Luckily, she's learned how to build them herself.

- She is a great big sister and a wonderful little lady 95% of the time. The other 5%, well, she's a preschooler. That's allowed. And no matter what she just did, a simple "I love you so much, Mommy!" will melt my heart.

- She still talks a mile a minute, has a vocabulary of a 5 year old (just ask her doctor), and is incredibly bright. Sometimes freakishly bright.

- Speaking of freakishly bright, she's into learning German! She is upping her vocabulary daily and is excited for our trip to Germany this summer.
