ok so here's a bit about our "drewbe" at 10 months old! He loves to smile, clap, eat corndogs, just started waking up once a night hooray (as oppossed to three) taken some of his first steps, has 8 teeth!, loves icecream (but may even love spinach shakes more.. we share one every day!) says "ball" "MORE" "mama" "dada", loves playing ball, hates his carseat, bites like crazy, a bit feisty, a momma's boy (for now! I'll enjoy it while I can!)  and is just the cutest little guy ever! Oh I love this age!
While on the subject of updates here are a few more...

tays- Tayler LOVES to be tucked in each and every night. a simple hug and I love you just doesn't cut it for this girl, she needs  Keith or I to lay down with her to "chat" and snuggle... usually to discuss important matters like what's on the dessert menu for the next day! She Loves the song Party Rock and sings it around the house all the time. (until all the rest of us are singing it too!) the "comfy" sweatpant style that she has loved for so long has been replaced with stylish skinny jeans+neon vans+scarf.(her go to look). Over Thanksgiving break I think every friend and family member commented on how grown up tays looked! she loves treats... mainly chocolate. She would do anything for anyone except share her dessert with them! Tays loves getting up to speak in front of people! (which she didn't get from me!) She was one of 12 students chosen from her grade to recite a poem she memorized in the school auditorium and did amazing! Her primary teacher challenged her class to read to BOM this year, Tayler not only excepted the challenge but said she would be the first one done (and diligently reads everynight!)
kk-KK is loving dance these days! She is taking classes five hours a week and when she's not at dance she is usually dancing around the house or making up dances with friends to perform! She has just mastered her splits and backbend kickover.  For Christmas KK welcomed her American Girl Julie to our family! The other night she feel asleep watching a movie so I carried her downstairs and put her in her bed, she ended up waking up in the process and panicked because her American girls had not yet been tucked in properly. She got up and got their pajames on and sang to them! KK is very honest, she speaks her mind. always! I just got called as Primary choirister, which is a total stretch for me... I asked KK how I did the first Sunday... she let me know that I was a bit "awkward and stiff". ha! she's usually right on though! She then imitated me and showed me what I could work on! KK loves to be outside, she is always the first one bundling up to go out and play in the snow. Whenever I ask who wants to come on a walk with me.. I can always count on KK to come with me! KK was also chosen from her grade as one of the students to recite her poem.
