Spring Approaches

Daddy has gotten behind in updating our blog, so let's see if we can catch everyone up on our activities. Christmas has come and gone, but we continue to progress in our activities. We still love going to gymnastics every Saturday and Ally can now do a back flip by herself on the parallel bar. It's almost scary how easily she does it. In addition, we love playing with play-doh. We have learned to roll the play-doh out and we have a ton of plastic outlines that allow us to create shapes with the play-doh. In addition, we love going to the park so we can climb around the jungle-gym and slide down the big slides. In fact, Mommy and Daddy took us to one of those inside jungle-gyms and Sydney went all the way to the top of it (about 2 1/2 stories tall) all by herself. We now know how to say both our first and last names, we also know our coach's name at gymnastics, and can pick-up other words fairly quickly now. We can dress ourselves with only a little bit of help and we're becoming more independent. Valentine's Day was fun and we got Mommy a nice bouquet of tulips (see the picture below). Up next for us is a birthday party for Luke, the son of Mommy & Daddy's friends from grad school, and a couple of Easter Egg Hunts. We hope you enjoy the pictures below and wish everyone well.
