Kynan said his first very clear word (besides Mama Dada and "No!")
the other day: Gecko. He has these Gecko Jammies (pictured above),
and he said the word perfectly. He holds the "o" sound very long, which is very cute.

Tirzah enjoys drawing on her dry-erase board, and her newest project is drawing rockets, over and over and over. You can see the very large rocket she drew (pictured below), which she was very proud of.

Colorado Springs residents often joke that if you don't like the weather, wait five or ten minutes. Last week, we had a cold snowy day, followed by sixty-degree weather with lots of sunshine. So, I took the kids to Memorial Park, where there was still ice on the lake, and we looked at the geese and ducks (which were not scared of us at all.) Kynan was fascinated by them, and Tirzah a little afraid (a goose hissed at her, though, and I was a little scared too, to be honest). She braved the freezing waters, and walked in the lake a bit. I had to convince her that red feet as a result of being barefoot was not good, and she eventually put her sandals back on. For a girl who freaks out if there are "lumps" in her hair when she wakes up, she doesn't mind walking in water that makes your feet feel like they are being stabbed by knives. Kids.
