Cute and He Knows IT!

I caught this sweet expression 
while Harlan was watching baby signing time. 


Waverly learned her sign language at 14 months old. 
Harlan is off to an early, yet great, start! 


This is definitely his favorite show, 
though Baby Einstein is a close second! 
(Thank goodness!  Mommy is all Elmo'd out!)

Don't go Daddy!


Wavy makes a fair argument for not letting us go to work.

Happy Birthday to Mommy!


This year was a nice birthday.
Mommy got her hair cut, played with her babies, 
slept in and had a nice dinner out!
What more could a girl want?

Our Picnic

Wavy's friend Bailey gave us a whole picnic basket full of play food!
Wavy loves cooking in her kitchen and now she has lots of food to play with!


She had to empty the whole basket, sort through everything, 
and then decide on what to bring to our picnic.


Dishes didn't make the list.

Baby Signing Time

Harlan loves watching Baby Signing Time!


He can do the signs for "more", "all done" and "hat" so far.


He's always watching though, and he's picking up on it so fast! 

On top of Spaghetti....

Looks like he is enjoying those carrots.


On top of spaghetti!


Mmm, yummy!

Harley Girl


Check out the Harley shirt!

Playing Pirates


Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

'Cause We're Cousins!

How cute are these two babies? 
Harlan and Shelby are so sweet together.


Shelby just watches Harlan and reaches out for him. 
He loves to give her hugs and kisses.  

.

Wavy has fun with Tanner and Shelby, too,
and they are good at sharing!


She is so stinking cute! 


Aunt Sam just can't resist putting bow-bows in her hair!

Just warming up...

Harlan has ran a fever all day!
Despite doses of tylenol, cool wash rags and a luke-warm bath, 
this fever was persistent!
Even though it was late at night and our sleepy boy was resting, 
when his fever hit 103.2, Momma said let's go to the hospital and get checked out!

Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville was fantastic. 
Luckily, we caught the emergency room at a lull in activity and we only had to wait a short while. 


The nurse in triage gave Harlan some Motrin and we were off to the waiting area to play! 
There were so many helping hands.  A nice hospital worker gave Harlan some stickers and crayons.  Plus, we had games and cartoons!


Harlan had a very thorough check by the doctor. 
He had just the smallest start of an ear infection.  
The motrin helped his fever come down and we were back home and on antibiotics before we knew it!

Get off of my back!


The backing and edging for Harlan's quilt is all sewn up!
Now its off to the embroidery shop!

Baby in a Box

Who doesn't love a baby hiding in a box? 
Its like I have my own little jack-in-the-boxes! 

Silly faces! 
  

Cute & I know it! 


More, please! 
Cheese! 

Ready for School

We ordered these wonderful books for 
Waverly for Christmas.  
They are Usborne books that help kids learn to write, 
as well as having fun while they go!

Wavy was super excited to do her "school work". 
She immediately understood the idea of tracing her letters
with the dry erase marker.  
If we slipped and drew the lines a little too far, we could just erase it and try again!


Wavy surprised me though.  We didn't have to erase many at all!
She can trace!  
Her numbers were great.  Mommy would show her once and then 
she would trace every number on the page.  
We worked on counting while we were having so much fun, too!

Daddy's Birthday

Happy 30th, Daddy!


In birthday celebration tradition, 
it was dinner and cake, plus presents!


Harlan loves cake, but proves it can be just as much fun to feed P-paw!


Mommy just tried to get a bite of Wavy's icing!

A sucker a day, keeps the doctor away?

A quick visit to the doctor, 
where Wavy was rewarded for doing so well with her height and 
weight measurements with a sucker! 


That must have sealed the deal, 
because she was good as ever for her check up!


And thoroughly enjoyed that sucker!

All Sewn Up

Progress on Brudder's baby quilt!
All 80 squares are sewn together, 
first in columns and then row by row. 


Wavy loves to help with our project. 
She's measuring with her ruler here...
telling us its 4 units long!
