A foot of snow and another tooth!

What a great week we had! Auntie Kate was on J-term break so she came over Tuesday night to catch up with us and spend some quality time with Phoebe.


It was also the night we got over 12 inches of snow. We were really kicking ourselves for not getting that snowsuit for Phoebe that we saw on clearance a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, I think we've gotten 5 inches all winter long so it just didn't seem worth it. If we'd only known! We spent Wednesday inside. With the office phone forwarded to the house, it wasn't exactly relaxing, but it was nice to not have to go anywhere!


Recently, we've found that Phoebe will get into any and everything. However, she has a strong desire to get into Daddy's toys. Namely the PS3 and his XBox - there's just something about seeing a disc eject and then go back in. And oh, the controllers...




Thursday was back to work as usual but we had YiaYia, Uncle Steve and Auntie Kate over for dinner. They stayed through bathtime and got to witness the terror Phoebe turns into after her bath is over. She starts crying about the time you dry her hair. She crawls away while we're trying to get lotion on her and screams when it's time for a diaper to go on. It's seriously a battle of the wills. Once she has her pjs on, she's fine. But getting there, that is the challenge!







Today we ran a few errands and picked up a few crates to stow away more of her clothes that she can no longer fit into. We had a huge blow-out at dinner so bathtime came a little earlier than usual so we had some extra time before we needed to head upstairs to bed. She was just everywhere so I think Ryan found a way to "contain" her. Ha.

Then Ryan showed me this...oh well, at least we didn't close the lid on her.

We're praying she gets back into the routine of sleeping through the night. For the last week or so she's been getting up around 11:30 and then again at 3:30 and 4:30. We did discover that she's not cutting three teeth up top, but four! She's also still not interested in stage 3 baby food so we've got back to stage 2 and are trying new flavors/textures instead. She likes cinnamon bagels but doesn't like cooked carrots or mac and cheese. I have a feeling Ryan's picky tastes are going to be quite evident in Phoebe's eating habits. Maybe it won't be so bad - here's hoping!
