Monday Monday

Monday seems to be a good day to blog for me, a time to tell about the week we just had. There isn't much to be said about this last weekend though, it was pretty low key. I did get to have a night out on Friday night, when I went to the mall to do some 'late night' shopping. That is what they call it when the shops stay open until 9pm, usually they close at 6! It was nice not to have to haul the kids around the mall, and take our time with looking. Thanks to Greg for putting the kids to bed! I think they all enjoyed it! I know I did, and I got a bit of birthday shopping done!

The next day we went back to the mall, for about an hour and a half, that is all that Greg could handle! There were tons of people there, finding a parking space is the hardest part! The kids do relatively well there though, I think it is because of all the activity and people. Then our weekend slowed right down, as Greg and I are in the midst of a cold, and the kids are just getting over one! Oliver is still teething working on number 8! maybe sometime this week.

Lily is articulating a lot better, it is amazing the changes her vocabulary has made in the last few weeks! She loves movies, the dancing and singing movies, the disney movies, it doesn't seem to matter! Her favorite is tinkerbell, and we have all three thank goodness, so I get to switch up which one she watches. We are learning our colors right now, we have red, and blue down, that doesn't mean that she always tells you the right one though! She seems to like to mess them up to see what we will do.

Oliver is almost a year! Less than a week to go. He has learnt to come down the stairs backwards, finally! He just needs a bit of help starting out. I am slowly trying to get him to take a bottle less often, which is going slowly as he loves his bottle, so far we do well at home, only around nap time. Going out is a bit harder, he is used to having a bottle in the car or stroller if we are out for a while.
