Chris's parents came to visit us this past week. We had a good time despite the cold weather. Shay was a little uncertain at first, but after a few hours she was fine...smiling and babbling in her own way.  Jack was super excited to see his Papa and Nana. On Monday Chris and the gang went to the Museum. I guess it was crowded. We really didn't do anything else other than that and just some errands.  Jack was excited to see all the airplanes when we dropped the McElwee's off.

As I have posted before Jack is really into his beanie bears. He has five of them that he consistently carries around and talks to. Today he took two to the store with him. All was good and when we got home he wanted to take them for a walk in the yard. The yard is really muddy and wet due to the snow we had. So I'm trying to take Shay out of the car seat and all of a sudden I hear a very panicked "UH OHHH". There is Jack doing the splits in a mud puddle with his two "dears" (that's the name of the beanie babies ..dear one but he calls them dear) in the mud as well. Oh, did I say that his bears are both WHITE!   So the bears are getting a bath and Jack was stripped down before he came in the house. Early today he slipped in the snow and "dear" got wet but not muddy.

Shay rolled over today from her back to her tummy. It's the second time she has done that but the first time that I saw her.  She is very deliberate in reaching for her toys and communicating what toys she wants or doesn't want.  She is teething right now, the bottom two teeth next to the middle ones. She cried herself to sleep tonight which broke my heart.

Enjoy the pictures.
