We've been spending way too much time in our house lately due to more snow.  We're all bored and a bit cranky...mostly because if Millie doesn't do any physical activity in the morning, she doesn't take a good nap. ;)  At least she still takes a nap at all...there's the silver lining.  Also on a positive note, all of this being stranded at home has been great for Syd.  She's been doing all sorts of new things: crawling and cruising around...so she has really needed her naps at home in her crib.  I would post some video of her, but I'm still unable to figure out this iMac business.  I may need to look into taking a class.  Even my beloved Google isn't helping me figure out how to upload videos to youtube.  I feel like kicking the dog.  ARGGGHHHHHH.

It's been nice having two kids this winter, since they are able to entertain each other to some extent.  This pic is one of my favs...Syd is so happy.  They play with these Duplo blocks every day; Millie builds stuff and Syd gnaws on the blocks.

hey...remember the blue dino?!  Syd's a fan...

Millie is always asking us to set Syd down with her....then within seconds, she wants her off.

She's happy 99% of the time.

The other 1% she lets us know in a very loud way.  So. Loud.  Don't even think about putting her in the jumperoo or walker anymore...

I had no idea Millie knew what a superhero eye mask was, but she asked me to put this on at Little Giggles last week.  Then she ROARed...like a lion.  Weirdo.

Syd has been taking dinnertime cat naps again this past week.  She's just so exhausted from all of her new physical milestones.

Last week, Millie had her first experience playing dress up at a friend's house.  She did not enjoy it.  I think it was just very confusing to her.  She kept pushing Elle away when we tried to get them to take a pic.  Isn't Elle sweet though?!  She's about 7 months older than Millie and a pro in the dress-up department (and picture-posing dept).  We have a lot to learn.

Rather than dressing up, Millie prefers to go sans clothes.  There's snow on the ground and we can't keep her clothes on.

This is so them.  Personality summation in one pic.

This is the only way Syd will get near the jumperoo these days, but look how proud she is!

After naps, Syd likes to hang with Glory the gloworm; I always find her manhandling Glory when I turn on the light.  For some reason, it always cracks me up.  

I hope they are best friends.

Day 2 of my couch-to-5K training!  Thank goodness we have a treadmill because I wouldn't be out there hoofing it in this snow.  I've booked my first race for April 5th!  Feel free to come jog it with me...

Another good reason to run...Millie loves to make cupcakes!
