Komarnicki Kids

Things have been busy around here, but we are finally unpacked and settled in our new house.  Addison and Fischer have been playing hard, as usual! Last night, I put together a new toy for them (with minimal help from Scott!) for them to wake up to this morning. A Mother's Day gift from me to them, I guess. :) They had fun playing with that all day today!

The toy has a little mail box on the right (with the yellow door) and it has 3 little plastic "letters" that go inside.  This morning, Fischer got one out of the mailbox, handed it to me and said "opa." It took me a few seconds, but I finally realized he was telling me to open the letter! He later walked over to the baby gate and said "opa" as he was pulling on it. He definitely knows what open means!

Unfortunately, Addison had a fever today of 100.8. We gave her some Tylenol and she took a nap and woke up feeling much better. We aren't sure what caused it, as she wasn't fussy at all. She was very tired and just wanted to lay down. We are wondering if she's getting a new tooth.  Here she is cuddling with her Daddy before her nap.

Tonight, Scott cooked a yummy Mother's Day dinner that included clam chowder and grilled shrimp.  Addison and Fischer both tried the clam chowder, and really liked it. Addison ate a couple little pieces of shrimp, but Fischer wouldn't eat his.  On that note, Fischer wouldn't eat much of anything today. He chose to play with his food instead. Fischer seems to be getting pickier by the day. We are hoping this is just a phase and that he will start eating better soon. Here is his tray, and Addison's clean tray after dinner.

I actually got them to sit still with me this afternoon just long enough for Scott to take a Mother's Day picture!

A few other updates:  Addison is walking faster and faster all the time. She has tried running a couple of times but always ends up on the floor. Fischer is taking more and more steps, and it's obvious he now wants to walk!

They are both wearing size 4 diapers now.  We ran out of size 3 and we have a closet full of size 4 diapers (thanks, Mom!) so we decided to give those a try. They are a little big on Fischer, but fit Addison pretty well. So, as long as we don't have any leaks or anything like that, we'll just keep using those!

One last picture for tonight...one of Addison's favorite things to do now is to climb on the chair, look out the window, and say "bye bye" over and over. :)
