Puzzle Master

Confined inside so much lately, G has spent a lot of time putting together puzzles. He works quickly and quietly, announcing to everyone when he's finished so we can praise -- but not touch -- his work.

Has Anyone Seen Spring?

Spring arrived last week, but it's hard to tell. Mother Nature dumped more snow on us on Sunday, the last day of Grant's spring break. Poor Miles spent much of the week sick with a viral infection, mostly wanting to snuggle on my shoulder. We are all dying for sunshine and warmer weather, going to the park and exploring outside.

Lions and Llamas

A trip to the zoo was a big hit over the weekend. We've been feeling a bit stir crazy lately since spring has decided to takes its sweet time arriving this year. And even though it was still very cold, the boys were happy to be outside. They were especially excited to see the new lion, Deuce, who they "adopted" last fall. He was pretty amazing.

We also spent some time watching the sea lions and chickens, which Miles thought were absolutely hilarious.

They were also excited about feeding the llama thanks to a favorite book series right now. G even pet him and said, "I love him so much."

19 Months

What's new with Miles:

• He has multiple new teeth, which seemed to sprout overnight. 
• We've been taking Baby and Me swim classes recently. He loves it, especially blowing bubbles and jumping in the water.
• His new words include "giraffe" and "book."
• His two favorite things are playing with trains and reading stories in the chair in his room.
• We trimmed his crazy blond curls; thankfully the curls remain.
