Easter Treasure Hunt

Each egg had a clue in in which led to the next egg. It didn't take Wren long to catch on! He was excited to find the next egg and off he would go after hearing the clue. Eventually he figured he should read the clues too. Unfortunately it was mostly garbled goo talk followed by 'find the next egg'! Not too helpful as far as clues go, but terribly cute! Eventually the clues led them to their baskets with some sand toys, pjs and a book!!






10 Months

The big 1-0! What a precious little girl!


 She found daddy!!


 Standing is her favourite way to be!! She loves to practice walking...



10 Months
You are mobile! Very early on this month, you started walking with the walker. You quickly caught on and were doing laps around the house with it in no time! You also started crawling early this month. You only crawl army style. You are not a big fan of crawling, but are happy with the mobility it gives you. You also walk easily around furniture. You also took your first steps! You love walking and practicing walking back and forth between people. Your record by the end of this month was 13 steps! You can pull yourself to standing using only a few pieces of furniture (including the bath tub). 
You still sleep through the night (yippee)! You wake up around 7, then take a nap at 10, then again at 2:30 and go to bed at 7:30. You still nurse 5 times and still love food. You eat basically whatever the rest of us are eating. You stopped signing ‘more’ choosing to scream to get your food and when I ask you to say ‘more’, you scream louder. You like to wave hi and it seems like you can say daddy (or your own version…dadadadedee). You say mom when you are upset. You now have 3 teeth (top right is in). You really like when I do “round and round the garden” on your hand and then tickle you – you have a big smile on your face when I start then rhyme! You took your first legit wagon ride and loved it! Wren even pulled you around for a bit. You like touching the grass with your hands and keep trying to eat it. We had lots of play dates this month, although you slept through most of them being that they are in the morning. You are still taking a nap at church in the morning, which is great for routine!

Cabin time!

Building a fort with the perfect snow!


Pause for a picture...

And down it comes...wish I could have captured Colin's expression. When Wren had accomplished pushing the whole thing down, he looked at colin and said, can you please build it again!

No fish today.
Thanks grandma and grandpa for this great new room with high ceilings! weee!

Reading like daddy

He climbed into our bed, snuggled under the covers, and grabbed daddy's book. I've got a great video of him 'reading' this book. I'll try to post it sometime!

Play dates!

Had a great visit with great grandma Franzmann!

Auntie Debbie had Wren in stitches laughing so hard! He was wiped out after playing with her!

Thanks auntie Jess and uncle Tyler for a yummy lunch and a great visit!

Story time with Julia!

Rendition of Annalise's first steps




Can't quite say these are Annalise's first steps, but they look quite similar! Grandma and Grandpa Penner, Daddy and I all had the pleasure of watching her take her first steps! Can't believe we are in this stage already! She would be so happy if she could walk full time - that's the best activity in her opinion!
