This Winter is dragging by! I am sick of the grey skies, bare trees, and snowy lawns. I am starting to crave the buds on the trees, a little bit of green color to the ground, and the smell of Spring. Too bad we have many more weeks of the current stuff. Its been an uneventful few weeks at our house. Just playing inside. However, we did make it out for a little trip to the mall a couple of Saturday's ago so Kole could play at the treehouse playground with the other kids. Kole loved it as did I; watching Kole have a blast was all I needed to have fun. Seth on the other hand hated every minute of it. He thought it was filled with too many kids (hello, it was a Saturday afternoon), too many germs and he claims the kids were "pushing" Kole down. I spent a little bit of time with Kole at the treehouse and although there were kids running around and bumping into other kids, Kole was by no means being bullied. I think Seth just wanted to get out of there. Kole had fun though and that's all that counts!
The tent remains up in our living room since Kole goes in it every day. He's been hauling pillows in it himself then falling on them in the tent. He thinks this is hilarious. We read books in the tent too. Jersey also likes the tent. See picture below.
Kole got a new high chair last week. The high chair we had was great except that lately Kole's arm would get severely stuck between the chair and the frame if he leaned his arm out--which he did often to either point to something he dropped or to feed the dog from his hand...(I know, bad habit). In any case after one instance where his poor arm had welts on it from him trying to pull it free I decided to call/email the Graco people and ask them what I could do about this issue. They were very nice and quickly suggested that they replace this chair with another style. I was asked to check it out online or at a local store (display model) to be sure this model would work for us. I let them know what fabric pattern we chose and it was shipped to us the next week! We have to send the old one back. The Graco people sent me a letter as well stating that product safety is their first priority and they were glad to send me a new chair. So...if you have a baby product that might be kind of iffy after some use, it doesn't hurt to check into what the company can do for you :)
Kole is movin' and groovin' these days too. He hears a song from a toy or on Veggie Tales and he's bouncing. He's also been "singing" along with songs. The Alphabet song might be his new favorite.
Baby Davis is doing fine as well. Movin' and groovin' just as much as his/her big brother. I'm still taking it easy but not looking forward to April and May when I won't be able to take care of Kole at all. I hate not being in control of that!! Anyway, the doctor visit last week told us that the heartbeat was good and sounded like that of a girl. That's what they said about Kole too.... We go back next week again for another checkup (two week intervals now).
Seth has been ice fishing almost every weekend that the weather cooperated and he's having fun! He's been keeping the fish and sending them home with his dad. He inherited an ice fishing shanty from Uncle Tim and he's pretty excited about that. Naturally, he'll be going fishing again this weekend. Geez....I need to find something like that that gets me out of the house!! Just wait, I'll get my "revenge" this Summer after the baby comes!!!
Okay, that's it for now. Will keep taking pics and vids and post when I can!

What? Such a wierd kid.
Sliding at the mall playground
Probably watching Veggies
Sick of holding his own head up?
I think he's watching Veggies while I was in the shower.
"Falling" down on the pillows in the tent, then resting there for a moment.
Jersey, tell us how you really feel...
Chillin' with the dog
Jersey's turn to rest
Dancing to Silly Songs with Larry---yes, our living room looks like that all the time...
