About time for an update

After spending most of January sick the family is finally getting back to "life". Eric has allergies (Cedar fever) per the Dr.s and is taking Claritin and Singulair now to control the symptoms and is finally feeling much much better. He is not only crawling very very fast but he's pulling up on furniture and starting to cruise. He drinks from a sippy cup and eats anyting and everything I allow. Kayla continues to challenge me as I try to find ways to challenge her. Tonight we played a game of memory and even though she doesn't have much patience her memory and matching skills are better than mine! We had a great time celebrating Christmas with the Johnson side of the family this past weekend. I'm including a couple pictures but we didn't take as many as I now wish we had.
Cheerios are a favorite for Eric and he likes them by the handful as you can see. Abby is sitting next to him entertained by his excitement for food.

pulling up on the gate saying "hey let me out so I can explore the other half of the house"

Cousin Frank got a miniature foosball table for Christmas but Kayla had more fun than anyone I think. Here she plays with cousin Frank and Uncle Gordon. I don't think she wanted them to go home.


Kayla has a home visit from the program (PAT) once each month. Here Miss Kelly is letting her play in shaving cream. What fun!




Here Kayla displays her new shoes that were a Christmas gift from Scout. They match her new dress perfectly and it didn't take any effort to get this great pose! She's a natural.

Finally some Christmas pictures from our trip

It didn't take Eric long to figure out this was gonna be a fun day
A Not so great family picture taken during the reading of the Christmas story Christmas morning

"Are you ready to open presents Ekik" : )


Uncle Mike and Kayla waiting in that very long line for the train ride but it was worth it to ride the train and see the light show. Kayla is still talking about it and I think Mike has almost recovered from the work of keeping up with a 2 year old.





Mommy and Eric are getting tired of waiting in the cold
