Kids being kids...

Our life is wonderful. So those times when kids are up during the night, or extra sassy, or just plain difficult, life is rough.

Let's just say, it was a difficult week- exhausting (for me), and frustrating when you don't know how to fix your children so they will do what you want.

We seem to be moving on. The highlights of our quiet night at home.

Jack loves to sing. He has lots of favorite songs, but he really likes the recording of "the Itsy Bitsy Spider" that ends with "There's a spider, EEK!"


And Nora started crawling this week. I saw it Tuesday, told Dan and she wouldn't do it, Dan saw it Wednesday and it's been more and more ever since. Jack was old when he started crawling, so we didn't see much of the clumsy, elephant like crawling that we have from Nora. I like it.

7 Months

Here she is... our sweet little princess who doesn't like baby food, doesn't want to sleep at night, and is int everything!

Here is one of our many attempts of eating. We get about 3 spoons in, and then she is done.

Just playing. She can sit all on her own now. :)


Big brother and sister.


Jack behind the camera.

A visit from Grandma Cindy. She found Jack a fish towel and he loves it! Really anything that goes over his head makes him happy.

And a couple of my favorites. I was messing around with our basic SLR camera and this is what I got. Obviously I have a lot to learn, but it's fun to try and learn.
The great things she is doing...
She scoots forward, army crawls, reaches, whatever you want to call it.
She likes to chew on things. For some reason, straps on purses or Jack's backpacks, shoes, pens, candy (in the wrapper). Loves paper and books.
Once she is sleeping at night, she only gets up once now to eat. I like that! And sleeps a little later than 7.
Her 2 top teeth have poked through- that makes 4 teeth total.
She is overall happy and a lot of fun to have around. We sure love her!
