So Aaron volunteered to stay home with the kids while I celebrated with the Bodell clan. We had an early New Year's Eve party with a photo booth, yummy food, and an exciting game of "I've Never."
Brigham shared his sickness with Lexi and for a few days she spent much of her day like this. She was so exhausted and just wanted to cuddle and sleep all day long.
She seems to be mostly better now, except for the whole teething thing. She is ten months old and into everything. She likes to climb over and under things and into tight spaces. She can stand on her own for 5-10 seconds at a time and walk when she is holding on to things. I am trying to not be too sad that she is growing up so fast.
Brigham is loving the new play room we made to house all the toys. He is also enjoying Lexi's Christmas presents more than she is. His Cars have taken over the castle (along with many other areas of the house) and he loves to sleep with Woody, Jesse, and Buzz in bed with him.
He also loves to listen to music and is developing strong opinions about what music. His latest favorites are Disney soundtracks. One day I made the mistake of finding the Dumbo soundtrack on Spotify and he became a little obsessed. Any time I turned on music he insisted that I switch it to Dumbo. He would run around to Casey Jr, get scared during the part where Mrs. Jumbo gets mad and is taken away, and would pretend to be an animal in the Circus Parade. I have recently gotten him to expand his musical tastes and listen to the Jungle Book soundtrack. Now he asks to "march" each morning and we listen to the Elephant March song while he gets on all fours and marches around the kitchen. Then he asks for "nessities" and dances around like Baloo and Mowgli including the parts where they taste the pears, scratch their backs on the tree, and float in the water. I'm posting a video below. It's a few minutes long and you have to go to the actual blog to watch, but in case you are interested...
