March was marvelous! At 19 months old, Christopher is 26 pounds, 13 ounces, and Katharine is 12 pounds, 8 ounces. Mommy can’t believe that we’re now closer to being 2 years old than 1 year old!
We made the most of the beautiful weather (the warmest March in history) by getting out for long walks and playing in the yard. We’re becoming much more independent walkers and are literally starting to run around and enjoy exploring and playing in the grass. Katharine was a little hesitant to try walking in the grass at first, but she is really getting used to it now. The early bloom has been fun for us to see all the birds, flowers, and leaves on the trees. And the warmer weather has given us lots of opportunities to play out on the porch, where we can sit at our table, ride on our toys, and watch the birds, squirrels, and neighbors.
We also had lots of fun playing indoors at our table, working with puzzles, books, stacking cups and blocks, drawing, and learning to cut shapes out of modeling clay. We finished our music class this month, and had lots of fun playing with our friends at playdates. And we had SO much fun celebrating with our friends Dylan and Ryan and Molly and Andrew at their 2nd birthday parties!
We got our first balloons this month, and enjoyed pulling them down and watching the float back up. “Up” and “Down” were two of our new words this month, as well as “Go, Go, Go”, “Open”, and “Out” (the last few associated mostly with getting to go outside). Christopher also learned “bell” and “loon” for his favorite new toy – the balloon!
And we had fun celebrating St Patrick’s Day by sharing our balloons and other toys with our friend Zach, and his mommy and daddy.
At the end of the month, we took a trip to see “the bunny” at the mall. Fortunately mommy took a few pictures while we waited in line, because the photos in the bunny’s lap were a no-go. And we did some explorations with eggs! Mommy let us break open our hard-boiled eggs at breakfast so we could learn about them. And we practiced at home with our new egg baskets, picking up plastic eggs and putting them in.
We had a wonderful trip to Ohio for Easter, and will share more about our adventures in the April blog and gallery. Photos for our March gallery can be found by copying and pasting this link into your browser. Enjoy!
