Jack


Jack's latest method of falling asleep requires Doug or I (usually Doug) to hold his hand. He is such a big boy, yet still my baby all at once. Right now I am holding his hand. He has been asleep for about 10 minutes already, but I can't think of what else could be more important right now other than continuing to hold his little hand.  So here I sit.

Talking


I love how much Abby talks. I could fill a page with all of her words. Just tonight she said sticker. She has about 2-3 new words a day.  It is such a treat because Jack only had 5 words at 24 months and she has so many at 18 months. Jack could sign a whole bunch of words where Abby never picked any up.  Then tonight Abby said (as we were getting ready to nurse) "mama, nah(nurse) I love you".  Then when she started nursing she reached up to hug my neck. I love these times.

Kids!


So I make yummy cheesy pasta stars for dinner. It involved pureed carrots, stewed tomatoes, grated cheese, etc. Something both Jack and Abby like.  Will they eat it?  Hell no, so instead they are having cheese crackers from Trader Joe's.  For dinner. And I don't care.

Family time on a Sunday morning



Who needs a jungle gym when you have dad?  Abby has been super huggy lately.  Love my sugar.

Mommy and Jackie time



Jack is cutting and glueing while I make bows.  And no, glueing is not a word. It's a good thing I am homeschooling Jack and Abby.
