Shapes and Puzzles

This girl...she started playing with puzzles several months ago. But it amazes me now to watch her do them from start to completion. She is starting to work on the shapes too. Each piece is carefully placed where it belongs and then a quick clap in celebration. The second time is faster and a bit more forceful. She is slowly mastering this toy that you put the shapes where they belong, celebrate and then bop the lady bug and they spit them back out! All 3 of us get so proud each time!!

We are on the upswing on Teagan's first real sickness of her life. It must have been a flu bug with vomiting and diarrhea. It pulled at my heart strings because there were just moments that nothing we would do could make her feel better! I didn't mind the extra snuggles when she was willing. It was tough not to give her real food and milk for a few days. She is old enough to know how to ask and where we keep the goods! All in all, she was a great patient. Now, it is so nice to see her energy and mood levels on the rise!! She loved playing in her crib this afternoon. Dancing, reading a valentine from Grandma and Grandpa I, making a fort and jump jumpin!

Snow!

Wow so much has happened since I last wrote on here. But I miss documenting and don't want many gaps so time to get back at it. Lots to write about like trips trips and more trips! Holidays! But for now...we finally got some decent snow in the Chicagoland area. It has been a mild winter so we can't complain but it was nice to see some of the white fluffy stuff and let Teagan get out and play in it! She fell backwards several times because of all the layers but once she got moving, she was in full play and exploration mode! It was super dry snow so no snowballs or snow men just yet!
