January Pictures

A tea party
When Ella helps me feet Biniyam this is the end result.
For Christmas Ella asked for a kangaroo costume and with the help of a little hot glue this is what she got. She likes to pretend Summit is a dingo trying to get her and they chase each other around the house.






Biniyam is crawling! He just started really moving this month, before that he could do a good job getting around by rolling and scooting backwards, but never too fast. I really appreciated that we had an extended time with him just sitting in one place happily playing with the toys surrounding him! I also appreciate that he waited until all of the Christmas decorations were down to start seeking mischief. He is also mimicking sounds, he says mama and dadda but they're more sounds than calling us. He does however say Ella sometimes very clearly but usually it's more of an Eehh but definitely directed towards Ella. He also says Uh for up and will sometimes say ba for ball. He continues to be an extremely happy baby! I love that when I'm cooking dinner and he's in his chair all I have to do is make a face at him every few minutes and he'll burst into laughter.

I love your parade of pictures. I am especially impressed with the pic of both kids on the floor w/ the paint all over the place. Kudos to you! I might have a heart attack if I let my kids do that, lol! You're a great mama!
