I took off my pants in honor of San Diego

It was the Annual No Pants Subway Ride Day in SD. The weather was a balmy 72 degrees. (Here we had a high of 26). A few brave souls (35) took off their pants then caught the trolley. I don't know how you would do that here. You would freeze your buns off (or your bum off as they would say here). I miss San Diego. The weather here stinks!

Big News! Arden took her first solo steps on Sunday night (1/10). Woo hoo! It was so exciting. She's been cruising a lot the last 3 days, which is not typical for her. Here's hoping that in 2 more weeks she'll be tottering around.

Arden says a few words, or more accurately, she tries to say a few words. She says bocha ("boka"), book ("buch"), sister ("shista"), and uh oh. Arden also does the hand sign for done, milk, and light. She also says "stuck" all the time, but I don't know what she is trying to say.

Cari says two words that I can tell. She says done ("da") and blue ("bu"). Cari does the sign for light, more and milk.

Arden is obsessed with climbing in boxes. Here she has climbed into the little plastic box, then Cari decided to sit on her.
