Sikorski Saga

This weekend Tim got the bathroom drywalled. Although the blue mold/mildew resistant drywall is making Tim rethink the slate. The remaining steps are another layer of mortar on the shower floor and curb, then tiling and grouting and putting the fixtures back. Then Kyla gets to paint, probably with Luella's help again! Katja is making progress rolling over! She can get 90 degrees of her 180. She just needs a little more leverage with her hips! Luella has a cold and is hanging out quietly on the floor with Katja .

Time to play!

It's snowing here in lovely Maryland. Luella remembered to catch the snow on her tongue. Sister secrets. The snow isn't so cold if you're playing!

Luella went poopy in the potty chair this morning! We're so proud of her! Not the prettiest of milestones (like first words and steps) but a huge milestone of equal importance! Here's the censored picture for my sister. If this is the worst Luella's embarrassed by us, we're doing pretty good.

Luella really does love her little sister! Katja getting her close-up. Luella's in the mood to never sit/stand still enough for her close-up.

Luella helped Kyla make brownies. She got to lick the rubber scraper! Luella tried eating hot buffalo wings for the first time. She definitely has Tim's love of spicy foods. She tried it, drank all her orange juice and wiped her tongue clean. Then she asked for more! Here she's pulling all the meat off the bone. (That's Kyla's phone receiving a text message at the end.) Kyla finally took Luella to Toys-R-Us for her birthday surprise since the coupon expired Friday.

Luella! What are you doing?! Oh, you're painting the wall like Mommy told you! Kyla helped Luella finish painting the wall. Kyla was tired of looking at that wall with five shades of white. Now it's one shade - Moose Mousse. Tim is doing his/master bathroom in slate. We compared it to the girls' bathroom paint color and we really like it - so much we'll redo the girls' bathroom in slate too!
