Our family has grown to include a fish. He's a Betta fish with a cute personality. After much thought, Allie decided to name her new pet after her favorite restaurant--CiCi's! So, CiCi has adapted to life with our family; and Charlie, our cat, doesn't seem to care. I don't think he realizes he's a fish since he's not white, flaky and breaded.

Thad continues to grow and grow. He was almost 12 pounds at his two-month appointment. It will be interesting to see how much he weighs when we go back in March for his four-month appointment. He's sleeping GREAT! He goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 5 or 5:30--what a HUGE blessing for a tired mama!

Allie still loves gymnastics and learns something new each week. She's so flexible and loves to show off her forward rolls! She still loves being a big sister and has only acted out toward her brother once. She chooses to express her frustration with sharing our attention by acting out in other ways, and I'm slowly learning to deal with that and how to juggle two little ones.

We've had two big snows here this winter. Allie LOVED playing in the snow and would have been happy to stay out until she turned blue if we let her. Thad didn't seem too impressed with it all, though.
