Marisol Update

One of Marisol's favorite things to do lately is to be "in" something -
laundry baskets, diaper baskets, toys, mommy's underwear "drawer", the pack n' play. It is even more fun if she can get covered up!


























Her favorite word is still "Bye bye" but we are adding quite a few more to the repertoire. One of our favorites is "push" - she often will say it while pushing Nils (or mommy, or daddy, or the kitty)! It is funny in a way, but we try to remind her that she doesn't like it when Nils pushes her! Nils has been very loving this week and bringing lots of toys to Marisol (especially when she is sad). Last week when she wanted a car he had she pleaded with him "please please please!" but he was unmoved. This week he has been much more generous bringing her cars, the ball popper, books, you name it. Marisol even said thank you one time!






We are also trying to get her to wear a barrette in her hair (so mommy doesn't have to think about cutting it yet). We have had mixed results. Marisol isn't sure that she likes them yet -- and Nils definitely doesn't like them!






We had our last Spanish class today and it was so fun. We have a lot of cute video clips to share, so when Mike is done with finals (Friday, yay!) he will have time to upload them. We have recovered from our fun Thanksgiving and are getting in the holiday spirit here. We can't wait for Christmas!

When do you start cutting their hair? Eamon has less than Marisol but at some point I need to get out the scissors. People have always thought he looked like a girl, so long hair won't help!

We've been doing a lot of "up" and "down." But constantly looking up is not too smart when you just mastered walking last week!

Oh, and he got a tooth this week. Finally! Five more expected any day.

We saw Porter last week. He's about to go into the 2nd grade, I think. He's counting, even.
