Tyce

Tyce is 8 months old now!! He just figured out how to sit up without tipping over. We think its great that he is not in a huge hurry to move. He is such a sweet little boy. He is very entertained by Cade and Elise and very much of a mama's boy. He is happiest just being toted around by me and I enjoy every bit of it. I am going to really miss this baby stage. Tyce is babbling more and more each day and recently began saying mamamama, and babababa along with many other cute little noises that he makes. Here our some pictures of our little guy.

Tea party

Last week, Elise and a friend had a tea party. It was fun to do something special for Elise. Elise and a friend Maddie poured their own tea and played tea party games. Elise was planning to wear a special dress, but decided against it right before the party began. They sure did have fune!

Winter

What a crazy winter we had here in the south!!! We had lots of snow and lots of missed preschool days for the big kids, but spring has come early and now we are enjoying some very nice weather. In mid february, we had about 20 inches of snow in 12 hours and grandma Koning was here to enjoy it with us. We were stuck in the house for a few days, but had lots of fun. Tyce is growing and changing each day. He is looking more like Cade as he gets older and he loves watching his brother and sister. Bathtime is one of his new favorite activities. Cade and Elise are going to preschool 3 mornings a week. It is fun for them and a great time for me to spend time with Tyce and get things done around the house. Next year, Cade will be going to kindergarden - where has the time gone??? One of our highlights this winter was visiting Hobbs state parks on a couple of weekends to go hiking.
