A good day for a fort

The new tile floor was recently finished, and we haven't finished putting everything back in place. Thus, we have a great big open space in our living room. That sounds like a good place to build a blanket fort! 

Xander is 16 months old now. His babbling is really starting to get more and more sensical, which is exciting. And he's just started to try to repeat everything we say. His favorite words are mommy, daddy, and cheese, and hi. He has a set of foam letters and numbers for the bath, and he will repeat the names of most of the letters. His favorite is "z." 

We play outside at least a little bit most days. I'm sad that it's getting colder, but we have a lot of fun holiday festivity to look forward to. And he does look awfully cute in his new winter coat.
