So, I've been a little lazy in the posting department, but all well. We had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Tig LOVED all the toys and books, not so much did she care for the clothes (even though I very enthusiastically helped her open them), but she made Christmas the best! In my life, my Dad was always the one who I felt really went out of the way to make Christmas special (he was after all, still a big kid sometimes). :) So he's left a void in our lives that needed to be filled and I think that this Christmas, Tig did it for us. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved visiting with all the family.
Yeah for Christmas!!!
Christmas was doubly more special in that we spent part of the day with my Mom and her side of the family, most of whom I haven't seen in over six years! It's cute to watch my Mom with Tig; she watches her very intently and follows her around to see what she's getting into. :) I'd say she's getting pretty attached, and how could you not?! Have you met Antigone Rose? I mean really. :)
Out first 3 Generation Picture. Awwww.
After Christmas came some REALLY fabulous news! We got our first job for our brand new little company! Hooray! We are definitely seeing the blessings coming down as all the pieces and parts are being put into place. To date, we have two jobs and hopefully a couple more on the way!
We spent New Years in New Harmony and I'll post pics later, but it was lots of good (cold) fun too!
So, now onto this counting thing. Lately, as we go up and down the stairs in our house, I'll count them out loud to help Tig learn her numbers. So the other day, I'm counting along and I say "five", Tig says "six", I say "seven", she says "eight"!! I was amazed! Keeping in mind, I've only been counting the stairs for a week or two and all she's really said before was "one" and "two". Then yesterday, apparently she likes the even numbers, she said six, eight, and ten in order, while Devin was counting with her! I'm sure that's the accountant coming out in her. :) It must be. I told Devin, I'll really be impressed when she gets her numbers in english and spanish down.:) Sometimes I think toddlers are way smarter than we give them credit for!

first off, cute background!!! HELP ME!!! second of all, you are right about smart little toddlers!!! way to go Tig on the whole counting thing :)
So cute. Look at you all spiffin up your page too! I can't remember when mine learned to count. Is that bad? I'm so happy things with your mom have improved. Hooray for getting a 3 generation picture. Oh, and the jobs too...but I've already told you that.
You've got a little math genius on your hands. Jules can count to three, and after that it becomes "seven, five, ten" or whatever comes to mind. She's counted to six a couple of times, but I think it was a fluke. Tig seems to have it down, though. Pretty impressive.
I'm really not surprised ... I expected smart children from my very bright kids. But really, that is amazing.
Wow, that Tig is sure a smart cookie!!!! I am glad that you got to spend some time with your Mom during the holidays! Congratulations on your jobs for your company. I am sure that you guys are going to keep growing and soon you won't know how to keep up with all of the jobs you will have!!!
Tig's a genius! Really I can't remember either of my kids doing much counting that early- way to go! And super cute pics by the way!!!
Hey! Your little girl is so cute I have never seen her before!
What a great surprise for me to find your comment on my blog. Thanks for sharing your blog with me. RE: Tig counting. Two words: oldest child. Enjoy every moment!
What an independent and fun girl. Isn't is surprsing has smart our kids are?! Really, you don't realize how much they know until the strangest moments! Hailey just sang all of Jingle Bells in the car yesterday. I didn't know she knew it. We sang it all the time at Christmas, but it just surprised me. Kids are great aren't they?!
I am so glad Antigone could help make your Christmas a good one. :) We all need a little "child" in us. She's adorable!
