Happy 2007!

I know, it's almost February. What can I say? We're lazy.

The Olney family has been having a very good year so far. Allison and Mika loved Christmas and want to thank EVERYONE for their fun toys, new clothes and all of the love! They have both grown so much. Even since Christmas! So many milestones.

They are both cruising right now. While they have only stood up on their own for very short periods, they can get around a room just using any table edge or seat cushion (or each other). We have to keep everything at least a foot away from the edge of any table. The girls also climbed Mount Upstairs. They both went up all 15 steps with Mika in the lead and Allison a very close second. Needless to say 2007 is the year of the gates.

They met their first dog, Duke; Uncle Brian and Aunt Kathy's retriever. All three of them were very excited and had a great time. Allison and Mika had a taste of their own medicine as Duke slobbered all over them.

We have been experimenting with new foods. Cheerios are a hit, although getting them into their mouths doesn't seem to be a priority. They have had some of Mommy's and Daddy's food too and love it.

They got to visit Simon (and Kyle and Heather). They all had fun playing together. Mika had so much fun that she decided to stay up while Simon and Allison took naps. Of course we had a good time too.

Hope this year finds you well too. Hopefully the next post will be before their birthday.
