These were too cute. We had to share them. Hayden is such a little talker and obviously loves to be on camera. Taylor on the other hand, ist just trying to survive with her sister around!

Where did winter go?
Jonas just turned to me and asked "have you given up on your blog that you started?" I actually had to wonder what he was talking about...but then I remembered that the last time I had posted anything was in January. Winter is almost over and no updates. I guess with Hayden walking, climbing, jumping and running while Taylor tries to keep up it all got away from me.
So here is the quick update...January literally feels like we blinked and it was over. They girls and I returned to our Music class and it is probably the highlight of our week. They LOVE it. Hayden runs around the house singing the songs and constantly asking for "music." The minute a song plays Taylor starts rocking back and forth while looking for something to bang like a drum. It is fabulous for them and I have fun too.
February started with a fiesta at our house for the Super Bowl. We had some friends over and played while the guys watched the game. It was pretty fun until bath time arrived and it got crazy! Hayden & Taylor were taking their bath and Catherine asked if she could join them (she is 8 months old). Then Jack decided that he was not going to miss out on the chance to be in a tub with 3 girls and stripped down and got right in, he is 9 months old. It was pretty cute and we are pretty certain that they will hate us later for the pictures we took. But I have a feeling there will be many more opportunities for them to rub a dub dub.
We also ventured up the windy road to the top of Mt Diablo on Valentine's Day to attempt at playing in the snow. The girls were properly bundled and Remy was ready to play. Jonas and I on the other hand had not dressed appropriately. Nonetheless we parked our car and started hiking up the road to the summit. Less than half way to the top a huge gust of wind came at us and we turned around and went back. It was so cold. Remy got to play in the snow for a bit and we made a nice morning out of it by stopping a little further down the mountain for some exploration. And we topped off our Valentine's Day by spending the evening with some of our favorite Valentine's, the Drain's and Matt Malone.
All in all, the girls are doing really well. Like I mentioned above Hayden is pretty much all over the place. She repeats words almost exactly and is starting to sing the ABC's. But Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is still her favorite. The other day I looked over and she had on a tutu and was spinning in circles with her hands in the air singing. :) She also has developed a fascination for glasses, headbands and scarves. I think we know who is going to want to play dress up all the time. It is pretty cute, she puts something on and immediately says "babies, babies" which means she wants to go look at herself in the mirror.
Taylor is working hard to catch up with her sister. She is still taking one or two steps but will only walk if holding someones hand. She is just a love and wants to cuddle and be held. But I also love it when the room goes quiet and I look over and she is reading books and talking about them out loud. Her current love is Remy. He will be laying on the couch and she just starts calling out his name and moves over closer to him while laughing and giggling. It sounds like "Neny" when she says his name. And she finally cut her third tooth on the top of her mouth. Not that she needs them though, she eats everything in sight.
We are looking forward to a fun March with a trip up to Healdsburg/Forestville for some wine tasting with friends (and no kids!). And Jonas' birthday is not too far after that. The rain is great, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I can't wait for Spring so we can spend more time outside!
Here are some photos...
