January is almost over....
We have had a VERY busy January! Lots of birthdays for both friends and family, plenty of MoMo events and playdates, and even a trip to the zoo!
The first birthday of the month was for Great Grandma Betty. We helped celebrate her 85th birthday at a nice restaurant and then went to her house for awhile. It was a fun evening.
I won tickets to Sesame Street Live! Joshua LOVED seeing Elmo and Bert & Ernie, and the whole crew. It was a fun time. We had discussed buying tickets, but didn't think Josh would be old enough to enjoy it, yet. It just wasn't worth it to pay that much money if we might have to leave early. When I got the call that I had won, I couldn't believe it! We went down to Smithfield Street to get the vouchers, and then to the Arena to cash them in for tickets. We figured that if we had to leave, at least we didn't pay for them! We all had a great time (even Chelsea!), and we might have to do it again next year!
Joshua turned two on the 21st. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone! He is speaking in 4 and 5 word sentences now. Although it is still hard to understand some of what he is saying, it is a lot easier trying to figure out what he's trying to tell you. We have far less tantrums because of his frustrations in expressing himself. We have had extra because of his beginning the Terrible Twos, so I guess it evens out. :)
Chelsea is now 4 1/2 months old, and is becoming her own little person. She loves to get dressed up, and wear hair bows (much to mommy's delight!) She has "found her voice" and spends a lot of time squealing and "talking". She even has a couple favorite toys she loves to chew on! We think she may be teething, but there isn't anything showing, yet. We do have a lot of chewing and drooling, though.
We're still dealing with some jealousy issues, but Joshua loves his little sister! He likes to try to get Chelsea to play with him, but is content to let her watch. She will sit in her bouncer and laugh while Josh runs around being a toddler. It's amusing for Mommy to watch, as well!
Chelsea was baptized on Saturday the 26th at St. Winifred. We decided to do it there, because both sets of grandparents belong to that Parish. Father Kevin was very willing to accommodated us. It was a lovely ceremony. Chelsea looked like a little bride in the dress Nana bought her.

Merry Christmas!
We had a wonderful Christmas! It was a magical holiday for Joshua, and I thank everyone who had a part in making it that way.
I caught Santa checking on the kids, and filling our stockings...
There are more Christmas pictures in the December album if you want to go look. The link is on the right.

Sunday evening we went to my moms house for Gregg's 2nd birthday! I can't believe he's 2 years old already! Time does fly! Mom and Amy made him a Train cake, which was super cute! I'm going to borrow the pan for Joshua's birthday. We ate Pizza, and opened presents, and the boys played for the rest of the evening. It was fun watching them with the new toys... I can't wait for Christmas!!

Christmas is coming! We've been getting ready for Christmas for the last week. I have the inside decorating done, and Scott is on the roof as we speak, putting up the outside lights. Joshua helped me do some of the decorating. We have a special small tree just for the kids, and made the decorations for it. I figured it would be fun for Josh to decorate and play with - and not break any of the good ornaments.
The kids tree is 3' tall, and has pipe cleaner candy canes and ribbons on it. Joshua got a kick out of decorating it. He'll take all the candy canes off, and put them back on again, too. Just for fun, I guess. When we have friends come over for playgroups, their kids do the same thing. I guess it's easy entertainment!
We kicked off December with a visit to the Trolley Museum this morning. We took a trip on the Santa Trolley, sang Christmas Carols and played with their Thomas the Tank Engine display. They also had a great Lionel train display set up in the back room. It was a lot of fun. Josh babbled about the "Choo choo trains" all the way home. Josh asked Santa for a "Choo choo, please" and he has been a good boy, so we'll have to see what is under our tree Christmas morning!
