Leif 9 months - First Word

Leif has started saying "mama" in the past week. We weren't totally sure because he's to that age where he just babbles random syllables sometimes. But he seemed to be doing mama while looking for me/wanting me to pick him up. When I came home from work today, he made a total beeline for me, saying "mamamamama." Yup, first word! My sweet Leif :-)

Otherwise, just mostly holing up inside avoiding the cold. I'm on my way to New Jersey this weekend for Meg's baby shower! I'm so excited, to celebrate Meg's little bub, and to have a wonderful mama vacation. It was almost exactly a year ago that I visited Meg and Dave in New Jersey last, while pregnant with Leif. It was so refreshing to be able to sleep in, talk without being interrupted, etc etc. Thanks to Kurt for agreeing to hold down the fort while I renew myself for another year of mama hood, one with almost certainly lots of changes.

Which leads to our other bit of news - Kurt has 4 interviews so far for medical physics residencies. Two are phone interviews, but two are out of state - one in Temple, at Baylor White and Scott an hour north of Austin, and one at Jefferson, at locations in Philly and Delaware. He'll be travelling from a Tuesday morning to a Friday night, flying straight from Austin to Philly. And then I get to hold down the fort :-) We'll know if/where we'll be moving on March 27, when the medical physics match program announces who gets what spots. A little more than 2 months away. Trying to just enjoy our nice lives as they are and not obsess about what might be - it's not long until we know and I can start obsessing then ;-)



The one day there was both enough snow on the ground to sled, and warm enough to not totally freeze their little faces


Sweet twin easels for indoor fun

Another round of them getting into my lip gloss...

This baby is never bored

Birthday cakes. The girls lately are almost constantly working on birthday parties. Sometimes for Signe's stuffie Snips, sometimes for Boots the monkey from Dora, sometimes just an amorphous party

Hair washing day is no joke in our house

Super cute little  firefighter outfit from John and Emily

Entertaining Ray and Leif. Whose names me and Kurt are constantly mixing up, btw.

It was storming

Such a great helper
