Coldest day of the year.... seriously

If it wasn't the coldest, it certainly ranked in the top 5! The sun was out most of the day but the temperature didn't get much above the single digits - the kids wanted to go out in the snow, I tried to convince them it was too cold, but they had to try. They spent about 5 minutes out there and came in. 

Making a snow angel

Alannah found it hard to walk in the snow and her boots!



Figured I might as well start the new year with clean kids!

so strong

Tadhg pulls himself up like this all. the. time...... he must have an incredible core. He holds it there too - for amazing lengths of time...... one day I think I am gonna turn around and he'll be sitting up!

He also loves his new found ability to turn over

Life is kinda fun on your belly!


such a lovable boy

Superhero

Don't you love the boys idea of dressing up as superheroes?
They are too cute - in case you cannot see it.... that's underwear OVER the pants, rubber rain boots on their feet, bandit mask on Caeden and robes tied around their necks..........

Cousins & Christmas

Abi, Colm, Jack, Alannah


We had a little Christmas party with the Fisk side of the family - well as little as a Fisk gathering is - there were 18 adults and 12 kids in one house. We helped the kids put together a play of the Christmas story - below are some pictures.

4 months (and 1 week!)


Tadhg Conor
4 months

~you weigh 13 pounds, 15 ounces
~you don't have any teeth, but I think you are maybe working on some
~you take 3-4 naps a day, usually 2 morning naps, an afternoon nap and a catnap
~you are pretty consistent at an hour and a half of awake time between naps, and on a good day your naps are an hour and a half in length as well - though most days only ONE of the naps is an hour and half to 2 hours and the others are all around an hour. 
~don't ask about your night sleeping right now...... it's rather rough and needs some improvement ;-)
~you giggle, smile, coo and make fun baby sounds
~you LOVE your saucer
~you have great head and body control, hold yourself up well and love to sit/stand in the saucer

At just past 4 months, - 4 month and 4 days to be exact
~you rolled over- back to front

rather funny moment..... he's been working on rolling for a couple weeks and I had often thought he was close, but Monday morning I had him on the floor in the bathroom (on his blanket and the mat) while I took a shower. He plays quite nicely and stays safe while I shower this way. When I stepped out of the shower I was surprised to see him playing quite nicely where I left him, but on his belly not his back. He was rather proud of himself.


I loved this picture because he is always chewing his hands and fingers
