Snapshot in time
Madeline - Obsessed with Swiper the Fox from Dora and has started acting like him. She hides a toy and then says "You'll never find your [insert toy] now." It's kinda funny and kinda annoying. - Also obsessed with dragons and dinosaurs lately. Loves to pretend Fia is a baby dragon when she is crawling around. - Loves telling anyone that will listen about her "new house and new bedroom and new basement", including strangers at the store. Fia - Cutting molars and has been quite the crankypants lately. - Pulling up to her knees consistently. She is just starting to get one of her legs bent up, on her way to standing. - Likes to rub her fingers through her hair while eating. So not loving this new development. - Refuses to keep socks or shoes on her feet. Good thing spring is almost here. - Loves to follow her sister everywhere.

COSI
I took the kids to COSI's Playarea this week for what will probably be our last visit for awhile. It's too bad because this place is great! Fia started out by examining the floor. Probably for bits of something to put in her mouth.
Madeline was a good big sister and built towers of blocks for Fia to knock down.
Fia returned the favor and built a wall around her with giant legos. I didn't help at all. Well, maybe just a little bit.
Madeline liked turning the building lights on and off.
Then it was time for water play. There is a really cool table for babies that lets them get right up close to the action. There weren't alot of kids in the big kid water area, so Madeline wanted to play with her sister. I figured, what the heck and put her in. She barely fit, but she fit none-the-less.
They had a great time here. Not sure if you can tell in this picture, but Fia is covered in water from her sister spashing her.
Our last stop was the Bodily Functions Sound Wall. Yes, you read that right. You press a button, and one of the animals burps, farts, sneezes...you get the idea.
I love this kids space and I'm going to miss it when we move. It's so perfect for them to explore and have fun. Not to mention the rest of COSI with all it's cool, interactive exhibits. We'll plan a family trip back to visit for sure!

Changes
I haven't announced this on the blog yet, but I think everyone knows by now....We are moving!!! It is such an exciting time for us and we can't wait to get settled in our new place. It's a nice 4 bedroom house with a finished basement and private, flat backyard. Perfect for raising our growing family. So this explains the lack of blog posts lately. I haven't had time for things like this.
We took the kids to see it the other day and Madeline LOVED it! I took her on a tour and told her what each room was, like her new bedroom and a whole room just for all their toys. She could have cared less about the new play room. Her favorite rooms were her bedroom and the basement. That is all she talks about now. "I want to go see my new bedroom, and my basement." After her tour, my Mom showed up at the house and Madeline was instantly her tour guide. She walked her through the whole house and told her what each room was. It was hilarious to watch because she was so excited about it.
Another change is that I quit my job and I'm now home with the kids full-time. I knew what I was getting myself into since I've been working part-time for awhile now. It's been tough because life isn't normal right now. I can't spend the days doing activities with them and keeping them entertained, although I do my best. Instead I need to pack the house and do other activites associated with moving. But once we are settled and I can focus on them, it will be great!
