Not too much exciting going on in the Peters household lately. The cold weather has been keeping us inside lately during the day.
I've been trying to keep Gracie busy with different activities and games. She is getting better all the time at playing on her own while I work around the house. She is getting more interactive with Faith and tries to play with her.
Faith is growing up so much. She is rolling all over the room now. She can also get from a laying position into a sitting position and is much better at sitting up on her own. She gets up on her hands and knees, but can't quite get the crawling down yet. Although she was very close today so I don't think it will be long. Her hair is getting so long in the front that it hangs into her eyes now so I've been trying to put it up some.
All the cold weather put me in the mood for some new projects. I got our guest bathroom upstairs painted last weekend. I've also started sewing a curtain for Grace's room. It's the first one I've done so I'm not expecting great things. I thought I'd do her room first before I move on the the living room and kitchen.

Out and About
Today we are finally getting some warmer weather. Grace and I got out this afternoon while Faith took a good nap. We hadn't played outside for a few days so we both needed the fresh air.
Faith was in to the doctor for her 6 month check up. She is not at 15lbs 10oz. She did well for getting four shots and one oral vaccine. It is certainly much easier with a baby then it is with a toddler!
While Faith was at the doctor Gracie got to play at Sarah's house. She saw some old daycare friends and of course had a blast. She wasn't ready to leave when I picked her up.
Lately I've been getting antsy. I think I need a new project. Mabye some more painting, or a sewing project?!?
I'll try to get some pictures posted soon. Seems like I never get enough time to do that.

Our Christmas celebrations have come to an end. We had our last celebration on Sunday with the extended Flantz family. It was great to see everyone and catch up.
Faith is flexing her muscles to start walking! Lately she has been rolling all over the floor. I have to keep the gate at the top of stairs closed and anything I don't want her to get into has to get taken off the floor. Gracie seems to get annoyed that her sister can now get to her toys. Little does she know it is only going to get worse once she gets even more mobile. Tonight Faith took the next step and got up on her hands and knees. She was so excited and was rocking like crazy. I remember with Grace that once she got to this point she seemed to move along pretty fast to crawling.

Long Weekend
We have been enjoying the long weekend. We had friends over for New Years. We didn't do too much exciting, but had a great time visiting. Nick was off New Years day. We took the day to get projects done around the house. Seems like there is aways something that needs to be fixed! Today we visted Nick's aunt at the nursing home and did some errands in town. I'm not enjoying the cold weather, but I am thankful that I don't have to bundle the girls up and head out to work every day.
Faith getting so active and inqusitive. She is now rolling from one side of the room to the other. She is getting better at sitting up, but can't do it on her own yet. She is trying to get her legs under her into a crawling position. I'll certainly have my hands full when she is more mobile!
It is so much fun to watch Gracie play. She loves her dolls, coloring and playing in her little kitchen. She also likes to make pretend phone calls on her toy phone. She goes through all our family talking to people on the phone. She is getting more verbal also. I realize that sometimes I'm the only one who understands her, but she is really trying to repeat more. Nick says that he got her to count to 10 the other day, but haven't seen that yet.
