Jonah beim Zahnarzt

Gestern war Jonah zum ersten Mal beim Zahnarzt. Die Kinder hier sollen den Zahnarzt zum ersten Mal sehen, bevor sie 2 Jahre alt sind...naja, wir sind ein bischen spaet dran, aber wenn man auch nichts hat muss man auch nicht hin, woll?

Letzte Woche waren wir mit Olivia zum Nachgucken beim Zahnarzt und so wusste Jonah noch, wie man sich in den Stuhl setzt und dass Olivia beim Zahnarzt ganz lieb war - und ausserdem kann man sich in der Schatztruhe hinterher ein Spielzeug aussuchen!!

Jonah jedenfalls hat sich wie ein Profi benommen, den Mund ganz brav auf und zu gemacht, dass Polieren ueber sich ergehen lassen und hat dann noch ganz geduldig auf den eigentlichen Zahnarzt gewartet. So ein lieber Junge! Bin vollkommen stolz auf ihn, ist er doch erst 2.5 Jahre alt!

Promised, the last Christmas pictures! But my Mom wanted a picture of the kids with their hats and we never got around..so, O-i, this one is for you! By the way, Jonah says: 'Cheese'



This is what this part of Colorado looked last Friday...most of the snow is already gone, yeah!



Olivia and Jonah sleeping now in his room, so that we can use Olivia's room, what is much bigger, as a playroom...well, not too much play up there!
Jonah does very well in his little toddler bed while Olivia sleeps in his bed...Olivia 'decorated' the space over the bed to her own taste...



Ok, here the story:
When we put the kids into bed, in the beginning neither one of them felt really sleepy and shut their eyes right away. We heard them talking quite a bit through the baby phone and sometimes they would just come down and let us know the most silliest stuff. Just so that they could come down. Sometimes, Olivia got really tired and stayed in her bed while Jonah was coming down on his own, just sitting quietly on the bottom of the stairs (mostly because he pooped and tried to get attention of one of us to give him a fresh diaper). So we changed his diape and sent him back to bed.
Then he came down again and with a slightly more angry voice we told him to get back into bed, without bringing him upstairs. Usually, we would find him sleeping in his bed 30 min later.
But not this time. I was on the couch watching TV and I saw him coming down again. I can look through the fireplace and am only able to see up to his belly button, becoming REALLY angry and needed to swallow my laughter when he appeared with a cotton bag on his head...


I mean, how can you stay mad if you see something like this?


Oh, and O-i, your nice cozy warm outfits fit both of them! Thank you so much, the kids love them!



So, and what would Christmas pictures be without Christmassy dogs? Quincy, we still miss you!

Raw Diet

So, Chris decided to feed the Boxers raw diet. Raw as in RAW! Like pure chicken tights, liver and such...it is gross!!But the dogs like it and are drawn to it like a duck to water!Unfortunately, Nellie vomits every time after she has eaten...so maybe we will change her diet or just get hardwood floor and deal with it..LOL
