The Week in Review

This week was busy. On Sunday night we went to Vail with Damon for work. Its a nice little break from the day to day for us. We hung out, swam in the pool, played in the snow and went up to Brekenridge. That is my favorite place to go in Colorado. Oh maybe Estes Park, its a tight race, but both are beautiful. On the drive home Zoey and Liam had a who can squeal louder contest that lasted an hour. My ears are still ringing. While we were up there Liam popped out a second tooth!

Wednesday was gymnastics, or nanastics as the zoe calls it. The whole way over she kept saying, "I wuv nanastics!" She loves it and got into the class with all her pre-school buddies. Her teacher, Mr. Zach, didn't realize how much shorter she is than the rest of the class. They have a step mat up to the bar to have them hang on it, and she couldn't even reach it. She tried several times to jump and grab the bar, but to no avail. She still did really well, and she wears her leotard evey day and practices her somersaults and back bends. She is even close to doing her backwards somersaults all by her self.

Thursday was Zoey's Preschool class thanksgiving feast. The whole class is girls, and they all had on there pilgrim collars and hats that they made out of paper. She loved the turkey and stuffing and potatoes. She especially loved the pie and whipped cream, mainly just the whipped cream. Her class is so funny. Miss Amy would hold up one of the "Thankful turkies" that they made and "say what is this?" Then all the girls would giggle and say, "A CHICKEN!!" They are a class full of sassy girls. On Zoeys thankful turkey she wrote on the feathers, Mom and Dad, Liam, Grandma and Grandpa McQueen ( G&G Pullman) Grandma and Grandpa Niggin ( G&G Eddington), Joey, and cheese. It cracked me up to realize that she does know she has 2 sets of grandparents, and that she makes the difference by Grandpa Pullman's mustang, which she thinks is Lightning McQueen from the cars movie, and G&G Eddington are by their dog Nixon. Its really funny what she remembers. I call this picture "the suspicious pilgrim".

Friday night is our rotisserie chicken night. Zoey climbed up to the table and say it on teh plate and said,"Yum! I love frogs!" I guess it does look a little like a frog... Anyways.

Liam is fast becoming expert at rolling to things. I don't think he will even bother to figure out crawling. He is so strong, and will stand with his hands on something if you stand him up. At his last Dr.s appt he said he think Liam will walk at 10 months. I just sat there thinking, 'Please NO!!" He is very strong and very coordinated. Damon is very proud. Its so fun to see him with his boy. He seriously eats about 4 times the amount of food that Zoey ate. He will nurse, and then down a 6 oz bottle, and then eat some cheerios. When he eats solids its 2 jars of baby food, juice and cheerios. Our grocery bill is going to double when he eats regular food. What a healthy happy boy!

Until something else happens..
