Monkey

He is getting faster every day and really hard to take pictures of lately. He can climb up just about anything- and does!





























A favorite past-time, playing with Tupperware in the kitchen.

























We thought he had an ear infection this week, but it was just 5 NEW TEETH!

















It finally got above 20 degrees so we went to play outside in the sunshine.















He discovered his first icicle.

Our little man!

Boden is growing so fast. He is now trying to walk all the time and is usually successfully taking about 5 steps before a crash landing. He is always talking to us in the sweetest little boy voice. His new obsession is opening and closing every door in the house. Although he is still infatuated with all electronics, where does he get that?!

Not much happened this week, except for snow, snow and more snow... it has snowed almost 5 feet in 3 days- so needless to say Mommy and Daddy spent some time on the mountain.

The exciting news in the family is the arrival of his newest twin cousins!!! Welcome to the world Emma & Claire, we can't wait to meet you!

Here comes TROUBLE!

The first hike in the backpack

We took advantage of the brief opening in the clouds and took a little walk with the backpack.


































Then he had a cheese picnic on the living room floor, what a fun way to make a mess!

and Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve has changed over the years- and since Boden goes to bed at 6pm we had a quick cocktail and appetizers with the neighbors before going home to sit on the couch. I think we made it up to see the East coast new year.

Merry Xmas

We have been busy enjoying our time in MN with friends and family. Here are just a few of the photos from Boden's first Christmas!



He got to spend some cuddle time with Great Grandma Rosch...


































..and family.







Grandma & Grandpa Lokkesmoe spoiled him rotten, I'm not sure who enjoyed it more.










He loved his very own rocking horse.














The piano discovery was so much fun, he banged and sang all week long.














Singing ALL the time.

















Great Grandpa Kennefick got to hold Boden and his younger cousin Riley at the same time. Way to go Grandpa!











The Lokkesmoe's











Christmas Dinner
















He didn't really get into the unwrapping, but he loved what was inside.
