Week of January 13, 2014: Audrey Crawling/Letter A

 We've had a fun week doing letter A activities!  Audrey is really crawling now and is getting into all sorts of trouble.  We're having to baby proof our house again since we were so used to Katie not getting into everything.  One of Audrey's favorite "no-no's" is cords.

 

Katie worked on letter A for apple.  She worked on an apple lacing card.

There were several nice days this week that we got to enjoy outside.  Audrey loved playing on a blanket and watching Katie and Lillie run around the yard.

 Katie enjoyed a picnic outside and I surprised her with some Oreo's.  It's amazing the excitement caused by a single Oreo!

Katie worked on her tracing skills while tracing the letter A.

Naomi and Boaz came over for a visit.  They had a lot of fun using Katie's chalkboard.

One of Katie's favorite activities is do-a-dot color sheets.  I make sure to have more than one printed out for her to enjoy throughout the week.

Audrey thinks Katie is pretty funny.  Katie is starting to see that she can make Audrey laugh at her by acting silly.

Katie worked on patterns...

 ...and made a lowercase A sticker collage.

 Katie got a pretend mixer from Shelli's mom and has loved playing with it all week!

 

 Audrey enjoyed the rolling pin that came with the mixer.

 

 Our two girls are playing better and better with each other every day.

Lillie is so good with the girls and lets them both love on her (and pull her hair, drool on her, etc.)

We made a trip to the zoo this weekend since it was so nice outside.  They have a new indoor elephant exhibit.  One of the new parts of the exhibit is an elephant for the kids to climb on.

 We took a ride on the train.

 Our double stroller is a lifesaver!
