January Wrap-Up

You know, since it is the end of February, it makes total sense to be wrapping up January. Always playing catch-up. Yup.

So let's see....January....

January finally brought some winter weather which always means cute hats around here. The cooler temps don't stick around for very long, so we try to take advantage and wear our winter gear as much as possible.


Cooler temps also meant cuddly movie nights in Mommy and Daddy's bed.


Jude got invited to a skating party, so back to the rink we went. Jonah got to try out skates for the first time...skating and toe walking DO NOT mix! Jonah was a mess, but had fun. Jude was super independent and was a dancing machine. He even won a glow stick for his dance moves! Since Jonah was over skating pretty quickly, he got a few tokens to use. He ended up hitting the ticket jackpot on a game. He was tickled.


Jude is such a goofball, and I seriously love it. Always up for fun and has such a silly personality. He loves to go all out for Wacky Wednesday at school....the hair is his favorite part!


And we can't forget looking good for picture day...."Hey ladies!" 


Along with being silly, Jude is also a sweet cuddle bug. One day, he forgot to hug and kiss me one more time before I left him at school, and he was sad. His teacher helped him come up with a plan to feel better. He wrote me a note so that she could take a picture and send it to me. Cue the heart melting!


Jude isn't our only goofball. Jonah loves to take selfies and pose for the camera. He is mastering his silly faces.


Theo's favorite pose of the month was feet up!


And finally, Eli and Jude both played their first season of soccer for the city. They both showed some skills and improved as the season went on. Jude learned not to walk off the field for a sip of water while the game was going on. Haha! And we also discovered that he is a pretty good goalie. He earned his first sporty nickname: The Wall.


Eli played forward and striker most of the season and showed incredible perseverance and ball control. He hustled and played every game as hard as he could. I was touched by his sense of sportsmanship and kindness as he helped fallen players from his own team as well as the opposing team. Eli's team only won one game, but Eli never let that keep him from playing his heart out. He may have finally found a sport he loves. We decided to sign him up for a spring league that starts up in the next week or so.

And that was January!
