Mommy Kathryn: Spring is here

Finally spring is here. The warmer weather has melted all the snow away. Looking forward getting outside in the backyard, going for walks and parks with the kids. This week the kids are sick with a cold. It can be very tiring taking care of both when I am one and they are two and they both are needy on me. The plus is Matteo seems to be on the mend, and Julia seems to be a few days behind him. So she should be getting better soon. We have plans over this weekend to turn Matteo's crib into a toddler day bed. (basically all we are doing is taking of the front of his crib and adding a guardrail so he cant fall out but can get in and out of his crib all by himself). I'm hoping this goes well. The reason we want to do this is he can climb in and out of his crib himself and when he wakes up in the morning he kicks the side of his crib and I think its been waking Julia. I'm hoping he will wake up and play a bit or read a book while he waits for his to get him in the morning. Julia has just turned 8 months a few days ago. She really wants to be on the move. She does a slow butt crawl right now, but I'm sure she'd love to go faster. She also gets up on her knees. Shes also clapping and sticking out her tongue. She just adores Matteo, and I think most of the time Matteo adores her too :) Here are some pictures of the cuties. (more of Julia b/c she sits still actually hehehe)
