Enjoying the Spring Weather

This was our first day outside with no snow on the ground and Carys' first time playing on the ground.
I dug through a tote of Caedmon's clothes trying to find something for her to wear outside. All her clothes are so light in color!

And she gets to wear his jacket - thankfully she doesn't care!:)

hmmm, wonder what this tastes like

watching big bro

found something else to chew on

A Multi-Purpose Shirt

I was getting Caedmon ready for bed and asked him which pj's he wanted to wear. He points to my shirt. Ummm, you want to wear mama's shirt to bed? Well, how could I say no? I had layered shirts that day and ended up losing one to my son. :)

Kaleb's Visit

My youngest brother stopped on his way through to Wisconsin for spring break and spent the night. This was the first time he's seen my children and the first we've seen each other in three years! It was great to spend some time with him.

Thanks for visiting Kaleb!

She's not crying...neither is she sure what she thinks about him

A beautiful afternoon for a walk to the lake

Kaleb with his sis, nephew and niece

playing with the kids

Somebody was serious about their block building!

And of course Caedmon got some reading time in!

Rise and Shine

First thing out of his mouth when I came in to get him out of bed was, 'I want to hold baby.'

Picture Time

I love the progression of this "photo shoot."

9 Months

Yes, she's almost 10 months now. I'm a little slow on the blogging.:/

9 months:

She has 6 teeth - 2 on bottom and 4 on top.

March 5th she finally got up on her hands and knees and decided this was a better way to get around. Even so, there are times that sliding on the belly is just faster. :)

She still spits up every once in a great while.

She continues to eat well. The only foods she has shown any aversion to are black beans and collard greens. The black beans have a strong flavor, so I switched to grinding up navy beans with her rice and oatmeal. And the collard greens taste is masked well with applesauce or banana. Although I don't know why she has an issue with either since she has no problem eating whatever she finds on the ground outside!:/

Sometimes she can be persnickety when I go to feed her, throwing a fit, arching her back as I place her in the high chair and refusing to eat when I know she's starving. But she calms down as soon as I place something on her tray she can pick up herself and eat, and then I can start feeding her and she'll accept it. Who knows what that's all about!

She continues to be a challenge and I can only hope that she's getting it all out of her system now! :)

We love you baby girl!

Sleeping Precious:)

I don't usually check on her during a nap, but happened to this day
and moved her into a more comfortable position, in my estimation anyway. :)

just sweet

Our Little Family

She sits like this all the time. No, she's not missing a leg.:)

Helping Carys clap

Clapping together

Whatever Carys does, Caedmon must do also

We were all fairly dressed up (for us) and I actually convinced Corey to attempt a family picture. Three tries was all he gave me though, so this is what we ended up with.

Keesha, she finally got a chance to wear the little dress you got her. It's adorable!
