Andrew

• Is loving life!
• He loves airplanes, trains, doggies, birds, and any animal at the zoo that is moving or just really big.
• Loves to swing, especially when his dad does really silly things and makes him laugh from the gut.
• He loves lasagna, pizza, enchiladas, waffles, pears, grapes, and of course popsicles.
• His steps are up to 7 or 8. He is getting so brave and will just start walking without encouragement. He does better when he thinks it isn't a game.
• Loves Kinnie and has so much fun with her. They love to play and be silly.
  
• Is starting to throw tantrums. It is sort of cute at this point because it makes him seem so old and he is pretty good at it.
• Is finally falling asleep on his own! I gave up one day on letting him cry it out. I missed my boy and it just wasn't working or progressing. But Landon talked me in to not giving up and I decided to try harder. I am so glad I didn't give up! He still wakes up in the night but we will work on that soon.

Kinnie

• She will say "I like my new house (pointing around with her hands), but I don't like being far away." Of course it sounds like this though "I wike my new haus, but, mice don't wike being fa away."
• Or sometimes she will say "I'm trying to be happy but I'm really sad" So I ask why and she says "Cause I can't go to Magga Bell's house anymore."
• One night when giving her a bath she said "I'm so happy!" And I asked her why and she said "Cause I talked to Grandma Bruschke on the computer!"

Do you see the theme here? She has a lot of fun here but she is missing everyone back home. It is sad to hear her say these things but we expected it to be hard for her for the first little while. I am glad we get to go visit everyone soon. It might be even harder to come back to Omaha for her but I think she will get used to the idea and cherish the visits back to Salt Lake even that much more.
