Dancing Machine

Jake is our little Dancing Machine. He asks Mommy to turn on her ipod every morning. Elvis is one of his favorites.

Snow. Snow. Look at the Snow. Do you like it, yes or no?

Reagan asked "What are the sparkles outside?". Rachel knew. "It's snow." We raced and put our snow suits on because we knew it wouldn't last long. (It melted in an hour or two.) It was the first time he had seen snow, and Jake didn't know what to think. Rachel just ran through the yard. While Reagan tried to eat the snow - she found out by trial and error that it is best to just open your mouth to catch snowflakes...the ones picked up off the ground tend to have grass and leaves mixed in with them.

Reading books

Jake loves books. He can't even wait to get dressed in the morning before he is up and "reading". He especially loves animal books. He makes "quack"s and a "cock a doodle doo". He does the signs for frog, gorilla, and elephant. Here he is reading "Wheels on the Bus".

Bouncing

Reagan had gotten a bouncer for her birthday back in November. After being cooped up in the house all day, what better thing to do that go out to the garage to bounce.

Is there a Doctor in the House?

Rachel loves to dress up as the doctor. Giving (shots) is always better than getting.

What's Cookin

All 3 kids enjoyed playing restaurant. Rachel cut the bread. Jake fried "it" up in a pan and then fed the baby. They all sat down to enjoy their meal. Reagan was having a coffee when she got a phone call (wonder where she got that idea?) and then she decided to "make a doctor appointment".

Games that Kids Play

The kids got a few games for Christmas. Rachel's favorite is Perfection - matching the shapes. Reagan likes to play Lite Brite (one of Mommy's favorites growing up). And, Jake likes anything Duck so he loves the Lucky Ducky game - "Quack Quack".

Horsie and "Piggy Bank" rides

Jake enjoyed his first Horsie ride with Grandpa. The girls also like to go for "Piggy Bank" rides.
