January stuff

Hello again after a couple of weeks off the grid. We are all doing well and hope you are, too.

Ella is getting closer and closer to walking, standing up by herself and pushing a large toy car while walking behind. As you'll see from the videos below, she's a good talker. Nate is practically running now, is a bit more shy than Ella but is cute as ever.

We're just now getting them off bottles (a bit later than recommended). Last night was pretty rough for both and we're thinking that is why; they just aren't big fans of milk from sippy cups. But we are getting them milk/calcium in other ways, and they are drinking lots of water.

Here are some recent pictures and a series of short videos, shot by Karin in a somewhat "Blair Witch Project" style ...
