january life

and here we are, the last day of January!

What a crazy month, filled with snot, new beginnings and lots of ups and downs!

As a fitting end to a tumultuous month, it literally went from +12 degrees Celsius yesterday to -6 now. Last night we seen everything from pouring rain to snow with insane winds. Whoa!

An exciting January moment was of course seeing our little lady start to crawl! She seemed to master it in no time and this past week she's shown us how quickly she can pick up speed. Oliver is learning to accept her newly found mobility, although at times dislikes when his perfectly formed lineup of trucks is disrupted by her. While the battles over trucks may be starting, they are also sharing in new interactions and developing a a new bond. It's wonderful to see them "playing" together 

and watching Georgie crawl after her big brother trying to catch up. 

Or her amusement when he's racing his trucks around the kitchen. 

 Georgie is certainly growing and changing, 

but she's such a lightweight compared to her brother at this age. 

And while Georgie is mastering the crawling, Oliver preferred the body dragging. Honestly he dragged himself all over the place for months! It seemed like just when he figured out how to "crawl" he discovered walking and liked that far better! I'm happy for Georgie just to keep crawling for bit and save the walking for later. One hurdle at a time please!

Georgie's expression cracks me up! "Mom enough with the pictures"... not quite a "No Pictures" yet.

Yes, I think it's safe to say Oliver had a pound or two on her ha!

Also can I just say hallelujah that Georgie does not have the same insane cowlick that Oliver has. 

It's bad enough on a boy but would have been a complete nightmare for a girl.
