Zaphira is getting big!

Zaphira is totally a daddy's girl

Zaphira has 2 teeth, is crawling like crazy, and pulling herself to stand on everything (and everyone!) Zanthias is adding some new words to his vocabulary and is loving getting outside in the nice weather.

Zanthias got a haircut!

Smooshed face Zaphira


Since he won't take regular baths or let us comb his hair, it was time for a haircut. We were sad to see the curls go, but it looks very cute short as well (and it's not nearly as messy!)

Zaphira likes being outside.

We are officially snowed in. We had about 7" the other day, and Drew even got Monday off work. It was Zanthias's first time on a sled, and he had a great time. Thanks for the floor piano, Wilbur and Deborah-Zanthias really loves it.

Happy new year!

Sledding is fun! (even if putting on all the clothes to go outside isn't)

We want to wish you all a happy new year, and to celebrate, here are some pictures from over the holiday break. We are busy making noisemakers and coloring posters.

Playing in the snow and 4 months

Snow in my face!

Zanthias caught this shot.

Zaphira was 4 months on the 5th. I can't believe how big she has gotten already. She's somewhere around 15 lbs, not sure how tall. She has a well baby visit on the 23rd, so we'll find out then. She's solidly in 6 and 6-9 month clothes already...which is always annoying because we have so many clothes for her that she didn't even get to wear them all! (please don't buy clothes for presents-I still have drawers full that friends gave me!)
It snowed a lot starting Sat. night so we went out to play on Sun. Zanthias had a great time, and was really excited to play in the snow for the first time.
