The Happenings of Late January

Well it's only been a couple weeks between posts this time. Thats definitly an improvement from 2 months but still not quite up to par I suppose. We have had a busy couple weeks as most of you probably have. Between work, school, and church there isn't a whole lot of time left for other things but we managed to squeeze some things in. Landon, Mindy and Abby stopped by for a night on their way home from Ohio. It was great to see them since it we don't get to very often. ConLai and Abby had lots of fun playing together.

Also, it has been snowing quite a bit this month and we were able to take ConLai out into the small yard behind our apartment building and play in the snow for a little while. It took her a bit to get used to it but after that she had lots of fun.

Another fun thing Ronda and ConLai were able to do was go to the Museum of Science and Industry with some friends from church. I (Anthony) wasn't able to go along because I had homework that was pressing. From what I heard they had a lot of fun. The friends from church have two young kids as well. Ben is 2.5 and Moriah is 7 months. ConLai especially enjoyed the exhibit which featured lots of balls and something to do with water. The amazing thing was that the museum visit was totally free. This particular museum had free admission the entire month of January.

ConLai has been doing some other new things lately that she seems to enjoy very much. She loves to take baths and would probably take one morning and night if she had her way. Recently she has been using an old water bottle as a toy in the tub and constantly dumping water on herself with it. She also has lots of fun playing with the spices from our spice rack. She takes the spices off the shelf and brings them to us so we can take the lids of and she can smell them. The daredevil in her likes to spin around and around in our arms. I'm a wuss and can't do it with her more than twice so Ronda usually has to do most of the spinning. The two videos were taken with our camera so sorry for the choppiness. And most recently ConLai had a fever for a couple days which required a trip to the doctor. She has recovered and seems to be back to her normal smiley and cheerful self. A quick glance at the pictures and it might seem that we are hoping she becomes a chef but we are just letting her play with the things she seems to like best. The video's aren't uploading properly so I will try and put them in a new post
