Sledding Day!!

So we finally got to take Josiah on his first sledding day ever! We discovered that our home is a pretty decent sledding spot. Josiah had so much fun. He wanted to push us down the hill about as much as he wanted to ride on the sled. He LOVES to be a helper. What a great day!

Grace and Josiah

This is a general video of the kids. I was trying to capture Grace pulling herself up on the crib rail, which I did do...just not as the center subject of the video. And yes, there is evidence on the video of big brother abuse. He throws giant Pooh bear at Grace. Good thing she is quite used to being hit by flying objects. Really though, he is generally very careful around her.
Hope you enjoy the clip!

December Already?!

It's been over a month since I posted? Where does the time fly these days? I figured it is time for an update. Grace is officially 8 months old going on 9. She is crawling around like a champ. She is very stable and is starting to take steps with us holding her hands. She is very close to pulling herself up. I can tell she wants to check out what's above eye level from her hands and knees. She is still a mellow, sweet joy. She still takes quite a shining to her brother as well.
Josiah is talking more and more like a "boy." He is role playing with his cars, which is a big step to me. He still has the sweetest, snuggly personality he's always had. He loves helping us, learning new things, seeing new people and seeing people again. He is VERY excited for Christmas. Right now he thinks Christmas is presents and doesn't understand it is a day in the future. He had a hard time looking at wrapped gifts and not opening them. Of course, what 3 year old doesn't.
We are looking forward to a holiday at home and possibly some snow. This winter has been a bit harsher than the last few.
We hope all is well with our family and friends! Many blessings!
