This morning I was chaning Annie on her changing table in her room when I realized I didn't have any wipes. I called downstairs to Jack to bring some up for me. After the 3rd or 4th call, I realized he was completely engrossed in his TV show and not listening to me. But I heard someone coming up the stairs slowly. I turned to see Mallie in the hallway with the wipes in one hand, Desitin in the other hand and her pacifier in her mouth. She was holding the wipes out, as though she was very proud of herself. It was very cute.

I took the girls out to Copley to see Emily and the boys and their new house today. They were so excited to show us their new house! It was very cute. At one point, Mallie, joseph and Christopher were sitting on this little step into the family room next to each other. Joseph went to get Mallie's sippy cup for her and she leaned over to say 'Thank you!' to both Joseph and Christopher.

Jack was so excited to show me what he made at Auntie's playgroup this morning. He ran to get his craft, showed me and exclaimed, 'Look Mom! A frosnake!!!" (snowflake).

Mallie was in heaven this afternoon. I had Finn here and Jack was sleeping. She had 2 babies to 'babysit' all to herself. She talks so sweetly to them. At one point, she was gushing at Finn and said 'IIIIII Baaaa!' (which I know was 'Hi Bud!' because Jack had just said this to him!

Before going to bed tonight, Mallie ran up to Jack and said "Huuuu?" (Hug?). He gave her a big bear hug and she looked at him and said "Haaa Faa?" (high five?) So he gave her a high five. Then she said 'Hiii?) (up high?) and he gave her a high one. She isn't saying these things very clearly, but it is completely obvious what she means.

Annie slept soooo much today! She slept from 9-5 a.m., then took a nap on our way to Copley from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Then slept the whole way home and longer- from noon till almost 4. Then took yet another 1/2 hour nap this evening. I think she is feeling some of the effects of the shots she had yesterday.
