15 Months Old!

It's hard to believe, but our Big Man is 15 months old already! He went to the doctor last week for his 15 month check and here are his most current stats and some fun facts about our Lukie:

• Length: 31.6 inches; 66th Percentile (slimming down now that he's racing around)
  
• He has just taken an interest in climbing on EVERYTHING (stairs, chairs, people)
• He loves music and is quite the dancer
• He is a tinkerer...always figuring out how things work, taking them apart, and examining
• His vocabulary is increasing and now includes Mama, Daddy, Addie, ball, uh-oh, and dog
• He adores his big sister and is interested in everything that she is doing
• He is always on the move
• He's recently developed a cowlick which makes his hair in the back stick straight up

He's the sweetest, silliest, most fun loving little guy that I know and we love him to pieces!

Happy Birthday Addie Faith!

I can hardly believe it, but our little girl turned 3 yesterday! She's definitely not a baby anymore, that's for sure. Here are some fun facts about our 3 year old little lady:

• She is a chatterbox, basically talking all day long. She also likes to make sure that you are hanging on her every word, by repeating herself until you acknowledge EVERYTHING that she's said.
• She is a constant ball of energy.
  
• Her favorite color is pink.
  
• She loves to sing and dance.
  
• When she dances or plays any kind of musical instrument she closes her eyes and sways from side to side, so we affectionately call her "Ray".
• Her favorite restaurant is Moe's.
  
• She loves Dora and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
  
• She has a memory like an elephant...I am constantly amazed at the little details she remembers.
  
• She LOVES her Daddy and tells everyone that she's Daddy's girl.
• She has strong opinions and isn't afraid to tell you what she wants.
  
• She loves her little brother and always wants to know where he is and what he's doing.
• Although she had a traumatic start, she is a daily reminder of God's goodness.
  
• We love her to pieces!

Back to Blogging!

It's been nearly a month since my last blog post. I wish that I could say that my lack of blogging was because we've been so busy that I just haven't had the time. On the contrary, we've spent the majority of the last month in the house. Between snow and sickness we have gone days at a time without leaving the house. I can confidently say that the Fishers are ready for Spring!

So...although there is little to report, here is a little month in review:

We got A LOT of snow


We watched the snow plow outside the window


We built a snowman


We started to sleep in a big girl bed


We made important phone calls


We got ice


And more ice


We got colds and lounged in our pjs.


We got bored and put band-aids on the dog


We played Angry Birds


and snuggled.


In one week, we got RSV


AND bronchiolitis


AND an ear infection


But despite 4 trips to the doctor, we remained smiley and cute.


We celebrated Valentine's Day


And just last week, we enjoyed our first taste of Spring!

Crib Time

Every day when Luke wakes up from his morning nap, Addie races up the stairs to "go get him". She loves to be the first one in there and then likes to get in his crib with him to play. It's so fun to watch them being silly together.

Caught being crazy!


Goofy kiddos


Luke gets snuggles whether he likes them or not

Have I mentioned that I love these two?

Snow Day

We've had a few snowfalls over the past week or so. Sickness and freezing temperatures have kept us from playing in the snow too much, but Keith and Addie made it out on Friday for some fun outside time.

Daddy and his girl


Making a snow angel


Off to climb the snow mountain


Queen of the mountain


Snowballs


Snowball fight!

Artwork!

With temperatures below freezing, we've been spending a lot of time indoors lately. Addie has been using this time to get in touch with her creative side.

Drawings on the front door with window crayons


Lukie got in the line of fire of a window crayon himself


Painting!


A beautiful rainbow

We have a Walker!

After nearly a month of standing independently and taking 2 or 3 steps at a time, Luke started walking! On January 1, 2o11 he went from these few random steps to walking across two rooms! Apparently he was just waiting for the New Year.

From this cabinet...

To this one.


Watch out world! The Big Man is on the move!
