General Update March 8, 2012

MKC is well from her long horrible cold. Everyone except me is experiencing some allergies, but nothing major. MKC turned 10 months old on the 6th. She is pulling up everywhere, even in the bathtub. We figured out a new system where Daniel sits against the open side, then she doesn't pull up. She is picking up every piece of lint and trash all over our floors, but only eating them about half the time. :) She learned how to blow a raspberry with her mouth and does it often (as I am typing). We were playing Candyland the other night, and we wouldn't let her hold the cards. She got REALLY MAD and shook her head no while yelling. It was the first time she'd done that, and it was hilarious. Daniel can now play Candyland according to the real rules. He prefers to make up alternate rules, but he can do it the real way. Daniel can buckle himself into his car seat by himself. I have to stand near and remind him to sit in it, but he can physically work the straps and buckles. He can reach the light switches in our house; that is relatively new and VERY HELPFUL.
Joseph is in Chicago this week at the fly meeting. Aunt Jenny has been over to play and help. We are making it fine. I gave up yelling for Lent, and that has been helpful. On Saturday we plan to go to Duke Gardens with our friends. Lots of spring flowers and trees are blooming, so now is a great time to go. Happy Spring!
