Our camera broke. So we had to get a new one. I'm sure I've already forgot some things that have happened. I have not forgotten that Freddie is now walking. Is is seriously good at it. He can turn around and pick things up and his favorite thing to do is to hold something and walk around. He is even happier if that something needs to be balanced. We have a wooden egg that fits in a cup (not as weird as it sounds) and he loves to walk around with that and balance the egg in the cup. He also LOVES to stack things and tear up any activity that Cedrik is doing. I'm sure he is just trying to help. The last couple of days he has realized that we fold our arms when we pray so now when we say it is time to eat he folds his arms and grunts. He grunts for everything. He doesn't ever open his mouth to talk, unless it is to say Dada, but he grunts "mmmhmmm" and shakes his head yes, or said "mmmMmmm" and shakes his head no. Or he just grunts and touches my chest for milk. He is super funny. Last night was the first night that he slept through the night!! He is 14 months old. I'm sure most people would say that is too long without sleeping through the night. Maybe...but I did make it. He sleeps until between 8 & 9 every day and he and Cedrik play until they fall asleep every night. Most of the time they laugh hysterically, sometimes there is yelling.
They play well almost all day long. Cedrik can't wait for Freddie to get up in the morning. Cedrik is talking non-stop. He says the funniest things. Most days he is very helpful and we have been working very hard on not hitting. His emotions can get so intense for him, mostly when he doesn't get his way and then he hits or kicks. We have been doing a sticker chart for getting dressed in the morning and putting toys away at night. He has LOVED this and so have I. Things he has said that are funny: Tonight in the truck he was sitting in his car seat and he arched his back, got a solomn look on his face and said "I'm not pooping. I'm fluffing." He has started the "Why mom?" Today we were talking about helping Jesus and he said that he helps Jesus with the truck (not sure what this means). He also helps Jesus with Papa.
I got a new calling a few months ago; this could be another reason I haven't blogged. I'm the second counselor in the Relief Society. I have learned so much in a couple of months and I'm surprised at how much I care for the women in my ward and I do feel like Heavenly Father is keenly aware of their needs. I had to give my first lesson in January and I think it went pretty well. It was about making our homes more like the temple.
And then...there was the day my best friend moved. Well, she didn't move by herself. Her husband got a new (great) job in New Hampshire. Yes, a very VERY long way away. This also means that Cedrik's best friends, Connor and Lily moved away. Tonight he
It did finally get warm again so we have been able to go for walks in the afternoon and that helps to break up these long winter days.
We did buy a new camera. We are still trying to figure out exactly how it works and all of the settings so these pictures will not be amazing.
