Just a post :-)

Hopefully this video will upload. :-)

Noelle is now climbing everything. She can get on the piano and the kitchen table quite easily, and I have to watch her like a hawk. She also is proving to be a little harder to train than Nathan was. After a few smacks on the hand, Nathan would decide that he wouldn't do the particular offence. Noelle, on the other hand, tries again and again (with crying between times), laughing at how close she can get without actually doing the wrong thing.

She IS a sweet pea, though. :-D She still has a runny nose, but she's been cutting a lot of teeth. She now has eleven teeth, with two more getting very close to coming through. This has definitely been the month of the teeth. I think she's gotten five this month, four of which were molars.

We had some snow on Thursday, so Noelle loves pointing to the window and saying, "No?" Followed by "Boo?" (meaning "boots") She wants to put her boots on and go outside to the snow.

We can hardly mention the "d" word while Evan is gone without causing a commotion. If Noelle hears the word "daddy," even in casual conversation, she runs to the front door, "Daddy?! Daddy?!" It's quite pitiful.

I asked Nathan if he wanted to go on a walk with me while Daddy stayed inside with Noelle. He replied that Daddy should go on a walk with him while I stayed inside with Noelle because he "likes Daddy better." Well, DADDY didn't want to go for a cold walk, so he took the second best, good ol' mommy. We walked the dogs around the block and had quite a good time. :-) It's nice that Nathan can actually walk one of the dogs by himself now.
