princess is 13 months old...

Here she is...Princess Pete! In all her 13 months of glory!
She is getting so big! She has about 6 signs and 3 or 4 words...
She loves to feed herself and loves making a mess out of it. Most of it ends up in her hair. She also likes to push the remainder of the food on the floor so she can come back and eat it a little bit later. Since it is so conveniently on the floor!
She is finding her voice. When PG does something she doesn't like she will scream now.
She also likes to growl like a monster.
PG loves to be helpful....at least what HE thinks is helpful, she didn't care for this placement!
"here PD, sit here, by me."
"UM, I don't think so boy!"
2 weeks ago she FINALLY got her FIRST tooth! The next morning she woke up with another half of one. I guess she will get teeth after all! :o)
RODY-O!! RODY-O!!
I should have counted...the best way to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop is to count the licks of someone that doesn't have teeth! It would have worked too..until she shared with PG...then the bite!
He bit his too! :o)

Mom and Dad came over and helped with apple sauce and apple pie filling. I got everything out and set up...then PG discovered the "apple-peeler-corer-slicer".....


you would have thought he was in HEAVEN!! He ran that thing for I think 30 minutes or more! and after EVERY one he would pull it off, give it to one of us, reset and yell..."I DID IT MYSELF" and "I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!!!" I stopped the video right before he makes the latter exclamation...so you will just have to imagine his cute voice, in all that excitement! I was more than happy for the help!!! Thanks PG and Mom and Dad!! It was a great day! :o)



here is one of PD too...she was dancing so cute...until I got the camera out (of course!), so you will once again have to imagine her doing that little bounce thing over and over to the music. It was way cute!

few tidbits!

PD has decided that she LOVES to read books. And she loves her Aunt Manda...I think more than anything she LOVES to get on her lap to make Tahlia jealous....gotta love child psychology.

Anyway, Manda was over and was reading to the 2 girls and Tahlia wandered away and PD stayed for a while. It was cute.
PG LOVES to "play" with PD, by play I mean push her over, boss her around and carry her around by her neck....PD only minds momentarily but just like from day one...she has EYES for her big brother. To his credit, he does enjoy sharing with her on occation....this happens to be one of them, caught on "film". They are too funny!
PD loves to flip with Daddy too! :o)
Look at brother get some air!
They LOVE time with Daddy. And I love to watch them! They truely are a delightful bunch! We are excited to add to the bunch in the spring! :o)

temple square church...

The day of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication, they canceled church so that everyone in UT could attend a session of the dedication. So that left our children with no church for the week. So we decided to go hang out at temple square and talk about the temple and Jesus. This was a little from our day.
PD in the stroller taking it all in.
PG as handsome as ever.
Daddy and PG checking out the water.

The temple and it's reflection in the pond. :o) I LOVE to see the temple! :o)
