The Children’s Museum at Navy Pier provided a lot of great fun for us in January – I think we were there 3 weekends in a row. Once with Grandma, Grandpa and Daddy (unf, Mommy was home sick with a 24-hr bug – thank goodness for extra adults on hand!)

Grandma, I've been learning about fireman at school. They are our friends and here to help us! Don't be afraid of their big masks!
Another time with cousin Trevor and Aunt Becky (who made the trip just the two of them – something I haven’t been brave enough to do on my own!)

See, Mom... even with a 5 a.m. wake-up, I'm still super fun to play with all day and have a ton of energy! Let's go grocery shopping!
And another time on our own…
Natalie has been very into snowman lately – even though we haven’t had snow that really can be packed. My grandmother gave Natalie a book, “Bear’s Very Snow Day,” before she passed away and Natalie LOVES to read it. She calls it her snowman book. She also knows that snowmen are “stuck” in the ground and likes to pretend to get “stuck” on sidewalk cracks too. (She wiggles her hips from side to side and then jumps to get out – its adorable.)
Thanks for visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Becky and Trevor! We’re excited to have you come again soon!
