Kitchen Living

 Yes, Mom? Nothing going on here...

  Hmm... that's how it's done.

 Got it.

 Have you checked out my apartment lately?

It's pretty sweet in here!

I'd actually prefer a little privacy.

Drew, come over to my place. It's more of a studio.

Well, I think it's a little small for a Mortenson. Mom... Dad???? Anyone??? I'm stuck!

Dancing the Night Away

We've spent a lot of evenings lately playing in our basement. We rearranged it a bit to have a big pretend play area on one end and still have room for the train table and other riding toys. We also brought the slide in from outside so that Drew could take advantage of it this winter.  They both have a blast down there! Lately Sage has been obsessed with dressing up and putting on a "concert" which then turns into family dance parties. Drew usually spins the tunes and bounces to the beat, while Sage insists that we wildly spin around and clap our hands.  She has very particular moves that we are allowed to do and others that she tells us are not allowed...if you can imagine... :)


  Yes, Sage still insists on putting those headbands on herself! She luckily hasn't tried to wear one like that to daycare.


Drew could go up and down the slide a million times. He carries around that wooden dowel like it's his prized possession.

 Sage also LOVES to draw! She can literally sit for hours and color.

Additional updates: Drew has started to crawl (once-in-awhile) on all fours. Otherwise he still relies on his fast gorilla scoot across the floor. He blows kisses and chatters all of the time. He yells "hi" at me when I come to pick him up from daycare and he's obsessed with light switches and knobs. He continues to enjoy his clubhouse (cupboard next to the stove) and has started to climb in there and open and close the door over and over and over.  He is the world's-best snuggle bug and still prefers to be carried around on my hip or at our feet when we're working around the house. I hope he doesn't outgrow that phase anytime soon. He's such a happy little guy, unless his ears are hurting and he's running a 105 fever, like at the end of our winter break! Both kids have been so much fun to watch playing together!
