Old school

Yes, that is an honest to goodness touch tone phone that you see there. And I'm excited about it. Thanks to the wonders of Android and Google voice my main number (the 7171 one) will now ring my cell phone when I'm out and about, my work phone when I'm at my desk, and our home phone when I'm at home. One number, three different phones.  How cool is that?

Growing up

Let the milestones continue - presenting little c's first ponytail

Well, I guess she's speaking

Here's the scene: C and I are at the breakfast table. I have a plate of pancakes, and C has both pancakes and banana on her plate. She turns to me and starts making the sign for more. I respond "more what? you already have both pancake and banana." C looks at her plate, looks at me, and then says:
"ssssssssssssssssrrrrrr- up"

"Do you want some syrup?"

"Yes" (accompanied by a head nod and a HUGE smile when I put some on her plate)

Bring back the milestone label. This girl is definitely talking.

Conference time

Break out the milestones label! We had our first parent teacher conference today. All and all not very exciting. We caught up with C's lead teacher, laughed about the goofy stuff she does, and confirmed she's on track. It is always nice to hear your kid's on track though.

From the written report we got, under "What we appreciate about your child"
We love being able to goof around with Charlotte and see her silly side.  Charlotte is very smart. She understands more than she lets on, and we love when she lets us see the connections she's been making!

Way to go little c :o)

A very warm pup

Continuation of the "we have the best dog in the entire world" series, part 57.

Escape!

I was planning on posting this as "c learns how big her head is", but turns out she pulls it off!

Fort!

It's been a rough week at the Provans. I'm still fighting a cold that I first came down with the week before Christmas. C got it pretty bad during the week and was send home from daycare Friday, and Alex is barely upright today. Needless to say, Netflix classic Disney has been used more than I'd care to admit over the last couple of days. So this afternoon when C and I were upright at the same time, I took the opportunity to turn off the TV, and turn on some imaginative play. A sheet and a coffee table later, we had a fort!

Max wasn't allowed in...

So he went and found a hiding place of his own

Ha - my fort has a view.I win.
