This is how my babies sleep. I think it is so cute!

At the hospital, 1 1/2 weeks ago when I thought Thom broke his arm-he is fine no worries

Beth helping Opi on his Captin's red phone (there are different coloured phones in his office that are for different things)

Beth loved the big machines and was fasinated

Like always the kids are doing new things in our house!

Beth is growing in leaps and bounds... she learnt a new word 2 weeks ago 'Hi' and now she can do all sorts of variations of the word - 'Hey' 'Hiya' and just this weekend 'Hello'. When she says 'hi' it has 2 tones, like a doorbell. And like previously, she learnt this new word and forgot all of her other words. Last week she got 'Dada' back and the end of this past week she got 'Mama' back.

Beth also strung 2 words together last Saturday Jan 31 she said 'Hi Dad' very sweet. Jeff had been out all day with Tim snowboarding and when he got home she greeted him with that-her very 1st time. (we did know it was coming as she was trying to say hi to her Omi on the Thursday however she cannot say 'Omi' at this time)

So in order to recap she can say, Mama, Dada, more (which is more like mamar) and all the Hi greetings.

Beth's walking with fingers has increased as well, she is more then happy to walk around with someone to hold on to and just this past week, she occasionally will walk holding on to one hand. I keep thinking today is the day she will take her first step and keep standing (unlike the one before Christmas when she followed Thom and crashed into the weight bench and got the bruise on her cheek).

Today, Monday Beth stood up all by herself in the middle of the room today! TWICE! Let's see where that gets her.

Thom is finally getting the potty thing, thankfully. A few weeks ago I declared I was ready to hire a professional to get this potty thing going, I was definitely at my wits end! We still have accidents occasionally but at least there is a day or two or even three between! It is great, Thom has been accident free during the night since Christmas and his days hopefully will continue to get better and better! We have completely ended pull ups during the day and I look forward to only changing one child's diaper. Next comes teaching him how to wipe ;)

Well can't think of any other changes the kids have had, other updates about the family would be lots of time spent outside, we are walking, sledding and going to the Forks and have visited firehall. I am prepping the kids for Baby Group ending, Beth turns one on the 16th and then we are done.
