Merry Christmas Princess Carriage

[Part of] Christmas came a bit early here at the Kuch home. Oh wow, what my sisters never knew they always wanted, their very own princess carriage!

Thanks so much, Grandma and Grandpa. What a riot! You think Mommy should start to mentally and emotionally prepare for their 16th birthday now? :)

Place Your Bets

Time to place your bets ... which sister takes the first steps?

Hilarious, can't go from lying to sitting or sitting to standing, but the little girl can 'walk'! Thanks for working with us, Grandpa. Addison will walk follow her sister's footsteps any day now.

Fun with a Forklift

Man oh man ... (or "ban" oh "ban" in Caleb pronunciation) ... this was a very special treat at the end of our most recent Baergen visit. We sure do like our friends. Discovered we like their daddy quite a LOT now too! Thanks for the ride, Jim!

Oh "ban," that Baergen family sure knows how to have fun!

Get Fit - Body by Caleb

First we'll start with some hip circles to warm up the joints.

Then we progress to hand weights to focus on strength and balance.



And we finish with abs to maintain a strong core.

Good job, Daddy. You are well on your way if you stick with it!

Winter Hang Time

Weekend hang time with Daddy.

Love to watch the sunrise on these early winter mornings. Two different days, above and below.

Mommy was bathing Addison and peeked out to see what all the laughter was about. Turns out Anna was entertaining big brother as he ate breakfast.

And speaking of breakfast, did you catch a glimpse of Addison's FOUR new top teeth ... makes SEVEN total for this little steak eater wannabe. ;) Score: Anna, 1 / Addison, 7

Kuch Kids in the Kitchen

We're getting close to Christmas. Time to spend some time baking in the kitchen.

And of course kitchens are used for more than baking here in Marlin. We have playdough activities ...

And experimenting with big brother's truck when he's not looking ... what???!!!

And then we have our daily driving competitions ...

Addison is still clapping ... perhaps she thinks she's winning the race?

General kitchen 'kraziness' ...

We probably have to admit that our true favorite kitchen activity is still eating. Here was our 'Saturday Market' banana and Nutella crepe for breakfast. Should have been for dessert. What was Mommy thinking?

Oh yeah, and the girls seemed to really like their breakfast this particular morning too!

Look Daddy, I'm Standing!

OK, this one is out of order for now ... but just had to show you at work, Daddy. Anna stood up on her own today (must be Grandpa's accelerated PT program) and then when Mommy stood her up later, this is what we got. Hilarious. Big will that girl!
