The last week has been great. Just in time for the 1-year birthday Ethan and Sydney have decided to give me a break from the 5+ hours of burping! Ethan's crawling has proven to be a HUGE success for his burping frenzy he has been attached to since he was 2 months old. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've turned to Doug and said, "This is rediculous! I can't do this one more day." My yoga ball used to be used for stretching and situps and has been a permanent fixture in our living room for bouncing burps out of babies. So glad those days are going to soon become a memory. Yes, SO glad.
Sydney has been taking naps in the bassinet most days so they go to sleep. Their new favorite thing is to 'talk' and try to touch eachother in their cribs before finally laying down and going to bed. Sydney has been sticking her bum in the air in the cutest way while she sleeps. We had to get it on camera.
Another new development...they love books! They now sit still and look at the pages and turn them. Where I am not a reader, it's fun to see if I can help my babies enjoy reading. I'm trying.
Sydney is obsessed with zippers. It's a little embarassing when people come over and she attacks their shirts, purses, or anything with a zipper. She's been known to nibble on rings, toes, buttons, and anything shiny. She is so funny.
My sister and her family came down for a doctor's appt for my nephew, Matt, at Primary Children's Hospital and stayed an extra day because their kids were out of school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We went up the canyon for some sledding and Doug and I took our cross-country skiis and put E&S in the sleigh again. This was our third outing for some skiing. Not a smashing success with grumpy babies, but we still think of how fun it was the first time.

I love this family. They were so good to me when I was in college. I miss living close to them.
