Milestones

Before we get to milestones, though, a little fun.  Wednesday my office and the daycare were both closed for snow.  So we stayed home.

The kiddos didn't mind being cooped up most of the day.


But Madeline was also keen to play in the snow, and Oliver was a sport about it.

We went sledding ...

... ate snow ...

... and played with snowballs, one of which still resides in a plastic bag in our freezer.

Meanwhile, Oliver has decided it's time to crawl.

More on that later.

For her part, Madeline decided on Friday that we should all wear headbands.

And Oliver managed to look tiny next to the pizza we got this week.

Oliver has been really insistent about crawling.  He tried for most of the week, including Saturday morning ...

... and then finally managed to advance when we were over at Ilan's house later Saturday!

He's not consistently able to get where he wants to go, but he's always working on it.


He's very proud of his newfound abilities.

(Which also now include sitting up for extended periods.)

Meanwhile, though we did not document this event in photos, Madeline used her potty for the first time today!  There was much celebration at casa Allgreene.
