Ketchup

Adele still likes dipping everything (including bananas) in ketchup, but that's not really why I called this post "ketchup"...

Really, I need to catch you all up on my amazing, beautiful daughters and just what they are up to nowadays!

In a video chat with Bapa the other day (Maybe Monday or Tuesday...I've GOT to get better about writing these things down!), Anna waved goodbye for the first "official" time...meaning that she didn't wave while she walked away from the person, or after the fact. She waved as she looked at Bapa waving. Pretty impressive!

Yesterday (Wednesday), we received a package in the mail from Aunt Dee Dee with some adorable (matching) clothes for the girls, along with some Valentines and...candy. We made a video to say thank you, but never got around to actually saying "thank you", because Anna waved AND said "bye bye" at the same time. She has been mimicking sounds for quite a while now (more on that later) but had never actually said something at the appropriate time, or repeated something upon request. So, another milestone for Anna!

In other news, we had a major ice storm a few weeks ago, and spent a lot of time indoors. We managed to find ways to pass the time:
Potato (and apple) stamps:

And when we ran out of ideas, we braved the ice:

Adele was so cute trying to pull me (the ground was basically glare ice-the "chunks" you see are bits of ice that fell off of the trees in the wind.)

Anna didn't mind the cold so much this time:

Anna has been expanding her palate...or tasting her plate...one of the two!


And of course, we cheered the Packers on to victory in the Superbowl!


And this one of Cookie was too cute not to share...

We celebrated the Superbowl (And Adele's completed sticker chart) by going to Chuck E Cheese. Both girls had a blast there, but I only managed to get pictures of Anna...



Daddy reading with two of his favorite girls:

Uhoh....she's got shoes on her hands...who does THAT remind me of???

Looking SO big!
