Moira got her first two bottom front teeth and so she had a few weeks of not sleeping through the night while they arrived. Another first for Moira this month was a runny nose, it arrived at the same time the teeth. She has started to babble and really enjoys sitting up unsupported to play. Creighton really enjoys playing with her. This month he started asking, daily, "Can I play with sister?" It is so sweet how he cares for her, helps her with toys, reads her books, hugs her, tickles her, and his favorite "I am going to goof around with Moira".

It is so fun to spend every day with these two amazing little people. I am so blessed. Tim was on a fire assignment for 23 days and didn't get to spend St. Patricks Day with us but he made it home in time for his birthday and Easter. Also we found out that Tim got a new job in north Georgia and will be starting May 6th, so we are moving at the end of April. With his new job he hopes not have to travel as much, as he will be more of a local resource rather than a national one. We are looking forward to the new adventure in the mountains of Georgia.

February was mainly cold and windy here in Asheville but we made the most of it.

Tim had one fire assignment this month in Arkansas and missed out on our fun weekend road trip to Georgia for Madelyn's 3rd birthday party.

However, Tim was able to join us for a weekend in Blue Ridge, GA with the Flowers family.

Pop-Pop came to visit us on his way to and from Uncle Rogers.

Creighton really enjoyed the weekly gymnastic center, play dates, library and meeting Smokey Bear at Health Adventure.

Moira has been busy this month: she loves making a grunting noise when she wants to talk or tell us how happy she is, she started rolling over front to back, she found her feet, started eating solid foods (note: loves bananas hates carrots), and at the end of the month she started sitting up unsupported.

hanging out at home

Happy New Year!

Creighton is diaper free! After last month's travels we stayed home and enjoyed some local time. Aunt Mollie & Uncle Drew stopped by on their way to Colorado and Meme and Papa came to visit which were the highlights for sure. Here are a few videos from the month:

Moira is 4 months old, 13.6 lbs, 25.5" long and is starting to respond to her own reflection in the mirror, imitate sounds and showing signs of wanting to roll

she is also getting her hands to mouth

This month Creighton has been very creative and imaginative. Acting out books he reads and he is also pretending flip flops are ice skates, a spoon is his Thor hammer, and much more. His favorite game of the month has been "hide and seek". Here is a clip of a submarine adventure.

He could not get enough of Papa while he was here. I am not sure Creighton ever stopped asking him to play. Even when he woke up Creighton would ask "is Papa up yet?" It was so much fun to watch his excitement.
