We had so much snow in the past two days and we had to shovel our driveway and sidewalk today. Oh my goodness...I got a great workout. Shoveling snow is very hard work. Tyler did a lot of shoveling too and worked hard. I was so proud of him! Eileen and Vince...Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work!
I sat Kylie in her crib for a couple minutes and when I turned around, she was standing there. It was so cute...She had a big smile on her face and she was so proud of herself for pulling herself up. She loves to stand up!
We have been getting a lot of snow lately and as I am typing this, snow is falling like crazy. I am so excited to see outside tomorrow morning. Tyler is absolutely loving playing in his big backyard full of snow. Kylie was napping today while we went out and played. Tyler tells my mom and dad on the phone about the snow and then continues on to tell them that there are not seasons in California, but there are in Pennsylvania. He is hilarious and to a certain extent, pretty accurate. Fall and winter here are very different than California. Summers are much more humid here and we are not sure about spring yet.
Kylie was not doing or feeling well last week. She was very restless, fussy and irritable, would not nap for longer than 30 minutes, and had a fever. On Sunday, when her fever ended, Kylie broke out in a horrible rash all over her tummy, chest, neck, back, face, and bottom. After calling the doctor, I found out she has roseola, a viral illness, and that it will go away on its own. Poor baby...I will not put pictures of her rash on here, but I will put some pictures of her from the last couple of days. She is so hard to take pictures of because she is crawling all over the place and is moving non-stop. She has been crawling for a few weeks now and has been standing while holding onto furniture for a couple of weeks. She wants to jump or climb on everything and is full of energy. Fun fun fun...
Tyler is really enjoying preschool. Some of the things he worked on this week are the letter i, painting, coloring, making treats for birds with popcorn and cheerios, listening to stories about a penguin, and doing puzzles. It is so fun to pick him up and hear him talk about his day.
Tyler loved "plowing" the snow off the deck and driveway with the big snow shovel. It was fun making the snowman (Thank you Jeff and Lynda for the great snowman kit)! It was 31 degrees today, which was "warm" compared to the insane 7 degrees yesterday. I have been told that this is abnormally cold for January. Of course my first winter is the coldest it has been in years. It is in the high 70s back in California. What a difference in our winters!!!
