2. Reina and Will are playing together more and more. Well, maybe the term "playing together" is a little optimistic. Basically it involves Will working on something, Reina racing over there, Will yelling "No no baby that's mine!" and Reina sticking as many of the toys in her mouth as she can. But every once in a while, they both sit in the same place long enough for me to get a picture.
3. Will's new favorite phrase is "Right, Mom?" As in, "We don't shoot guns at people. Right, Mom?" "If I'm naughty, I get a spanking. Right, Mom?" I love how he's bypassed 'mommy' and gone right to 'Mom." What's next, Lucy? Hey lady?
4. Will has a new best friend. His name is Buzz Lightyear. I wasn't paying attention this summer when Toy Story was on sale. Now it's "in the vault" or whatever term it is they use to make buying kids movies really tough. Thanks Pixar. In the meantime, we've borrowed the video from Heather's House of Movies. Thanks Heather! 
5. Reina loves to walk around while holding on to our hands. She's getting steadier on her feet and she's quite proud of herself. The biggest problem is that now she likes to stop and play with stuff while she's walking around but she doesn't want you to stop holding her up. So basically, she wants a little servant to follow her around, help her walk, and find interesting things for her to mess with. We'll be advertising that job vacancy soon. Anyone interested? The salary is weak and the supervisor is a tyrant. But it's good, steady work. The supervisor is pretty darn cute too.
On a non-baby-book-related note, I made Sauerbraten and Spaetzle for New Year's Day dinner. It was good but I'm a horrible dinner organizer. The sauerbraten was done about 30 minutes before I even started the spaetzle. I totally forgot to cook anything else and I spent about 10 minutes fishing giant lumps of flour out of the gravy. Yum.
