Winter randomness

Is anyone else enjoying the snow? I enjoy it as long as we don't have anywhere to go. Or at least anywhere outside of our town. I am hoping we get a lot, then Ally can finally play in it. It snowed last week, but it wasn't the good packing snow, it was light and fluffy. She REALLY wanted to make a snow man and that just wasn't going to happen with that snow.
Ally and I got all of the Christmas ornaments organized into their correct boxes (everyone has their own box for ornaments) and all of the Christmas stuff organized into tubs. Now we just need Matt to put them away for us. I am in the mood to do a complete overhaul on our house and organize everything, but now is not the time to do that. Maybe at the end of the month I can get around to that.
Benson can climb the stairs, but hasn't gotten past the first one before I catch him. He is standing up to everything and walking along things. So walking should be right around the corner for him. He is growling all the time. When he crawls, he growls, when he sees mommy, daddy or Ally, he growls. Silly boy! He likes to dump things (buckets of toys) and knock things over (stacks of books on the bookshelf & blocks). He has gotten really good at throwing things (such as pacifiers and bottles). You really notice how well he throws when we are in the van, you'll hear things hit the door on the opposite side. He loves his veggies- broccoli, peas, green beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. He also loves fruit-apples, oranges, pineapple, grapes. All of which are fresh and I just cut into small pieces for him to consume. He still eats baby food but prefers the real thing.
Ally is working on letter recognition and is doing really well. She recognizes her name, Bens name, and Cosette's name right away. She loves learning. This past Sunday she got to go to all of primary. She is now a sunbeam and couldn't be more excited to be with the big kids. She's had lots of friends over to her house this week and has loved every minute of it. I'm not sure Benson always feels the same about a house full of people, but maybe he'll grow to be a social bug like Ally or a more reserved child like Cosette.
Okay well theres an update and I will try to get some updated pictures.
