We are all freezing here. It’s just above 0 degrees. Jack can now pulls himself to standing and he continues to screech. Because he can stand he holds himself up in his crib and screams/cries like I’ve never heard before. This ‘little’ boy has a temper. Isabelle is talking in sentences now. She stumbles over words at times, but shes coming along amazingly well.

Christas went well. Isabelle made out by opening her gifts, jacks, mine and Mike’s. Bella got a wood table (jack too), stroller, and Mr. Potatoe Head, just to name a few. Jack got his own BaBa, and a few other toys.
We spent the morning at our house, with Nona who was able to watch Isabelle open it all. Later we went to my mom’s where some of my family were visiting. Four of her cousins were there which was fun and LOUD.
Jack: two weeks before Christmas we made Jack cry it through the night. It took two nights. The first night he talked for an hour and then cried for an hour. The next night nothing. He slpet form 7:00-5:30. Between him learning to roll over and sleep through the night, Mike and I finally feel like real people, that we are in control.
Some of that control slipped in the past few days. Jack has been waking earlier and earlier. Last night he woke at 2:30. We gave him Tylenol because he is teething, but he still stayed awake for a few hours. Finally I gave in and nursed. He immediately slept.
The teeth are taking forever to come out. One bottom tooth has been coming in for over a week, the other has yet to appear.
Isabelle: She is talking non-stop. The words do not come too fast, but you can sense how hard she is trying.
Bella is completely scared of Jack now. She freaks out when he comes near. Jack is crawling exclusively now and is getting faster. He can also pull himself up to his knees. He always goes for her and wants to be where she is playing. Often when she is in her chair he crawls beneath her and takes off her slippers. She hates this and cries. It’s a never ending battle.

I’ve never been so happy to see a year end. 2007 will be great!
Christmas went well. I’ll have to tell all another time.
Today it was 60 degrees here. Blah, it’s not winter!
