Still winter

Yes, it's still very much winter around the Jansen house. We're getting antsy for spring but we'll survive. We've been getting by through visits to the YMCA, waterbabies classes and the library. Corey and I are also leaving Wed. morning for Riviera Maya, Mexico, for a few days so that will be wonderful as well. I'm not looking forward to leaving Harrison for 5 days, but he will be safe and sound with both sets of grandparents so I'm sure all of the fun and spoiling will make up for a few days without us.

Harrison seems like he's growing up every day. He's talking more and more every day - he'll pretty much repeat anything you say (not always good!) and is starting to string together a couple words. He's still a big fan of Thomas the Train and Mickey and anything football or basketball. We read a lot of books, although it's usually one of 3 Thomas ones over and over. Harrison had croup and a touch of something (flu?) last week so that made for 3 long days but other than that he's been relatively healthy so far this winter. Hopefully we'll keep that up for awhile.
Kisses for Daddy


Cheese!



Favorite Thomas sweatshirt, Daddy's hat and his "suit." We started Waterbabies at the Y a few weeks ago and after a somewhat eventful first time he's really started loving it. His suit is still the one from last summer - he is growing though, as we used to have to roll down the waist and now it's getting a little snug.


Harrison got a wagon for Christmas and for now we've only been able to use it for circles around the kitchen and living room. Excited for spring to get out and really try it out.










In the midst of all of his Christmas presents, Harrison ended up sitting reading his book. It didn't last long, but was cute while it did.

He entertained himself for quite awhile one afternoon by stacking the pop cans in the cupboard. Great fun until he dropped one of them on his foot...didn't feel so good.
