We hit our first 50-degree temp of 2008 yesterday, and the snow has been melting fast! And Sarah turns 2 next week! She has had a touch of illness lately, and had her first power-barfing episode a couple of nights ago at 4 a.m., which scared her a little bit and kept mom and dad up for a couple of hours washing her bedding and comforting her. She looks pretty happy here, though!
Sarah's vocabulary has been growing quickly! Among the words she can say are poop (her first word!), teamwork (her second, thanks to the "Wonder Pets"), Mama, Daddy, Max, Harley, Noah, Lucas, Caleb, shoes, shirt, socks, hat, pants, butt, car, fly, what's that?, circle, pig, dog, cat, birdy, horse, moo, turtle, duck, frog, sheep, show, fork, spoon, munch (milk), water, Nemo, mouse, one, two, phone, sleep, baby, blanket, red, blue, purple, orange, green, please, some, run, all done!, candy, go, out, up, book, tickle, nose, heart, hot, cold, ouch, boo-boo, bite, more, fun, star, sun, towel, ball, and choo choo.
Sarah can point to (or say) the following body parts: head, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, chin, hands, fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulders, arms, legs, tummy, butt, and knees.
Noah can also point to (or say) those body parts, but he was too tired from hockey and school! Noah made the A honor roll for the second consecutive trimester this past week, and he'll be recognized at a special ceremony at school on March 19. He's heading into his last trimester of sixth grade at Edinbrook, and will most likely attend seventh grade next year at Osseo Junior High.
We rode from our house to the Coon Rapids Dam on the Mississippi River and back, for a total of 10.72 miles.
Pippi Longstocking on the river.
Awwww!
