Miss Grace

This needs a frame



No candid shots for her. Its all so controlled.



New post

Everyone is hounding me to post something new, so here we go. We are still recovering from Christmas. The baby still misses his mommy every day. He really liked having her home for so long, over the hollidays. He wakes up looking all around for her, and looks for her when he gets tired. Around 4:30 pm, every day, he expects her to walk through the door. He gets very mad if she is late. Raegan gets mad when I call him titty baby, and milk fed momma's boy, but Im just being honest. Anyway, at 5 1/2 months, he is growing up fast. His bald spot is filling in now. Its coming back red. He stands up pretty good, until he gets distracted, and lunges for something else.

He pulls himself up, to sit. He can sit for as long as he wants now, until he gets distracted, and lunges for something else. He is good at bracing himself as he falls, and has soft landings. He hasnt started crawling yet. His legs are covered most of the time, and its too slippery on the wood to get good practice. When it warms up, he will pick it up quick enough. He scoots backwards, and pulls forward with just his arms, and spins around to get where he wants to go.
He is getting his first teeth on the bottom. He has 2 little slivers poking through.
Jack lost his first tooth. He was very excited. He has been very anxious to have the tooth fairy visit him. He actually went to sleep, and stayed in his bed all night. Usually, he gets up at least once, to ask if there are such things as giant cheese graters, or hullabaloos, or whatever his dream is about. The dentist was mad, because the tooth was not ready to come out. He made it loose by opening too many bottles. Teeth for tools!
I have to take pictures of all his towers. He likes to put stuff on the blog. He is good at building.
I looked for new Grace pictures, but she has managed to elude the camera for too long. I'll take some pictures of her when she comes home from school. I looked for her latest masterpiece, but I cant find it. Raegan will have to look for it. Its probably right in front of me. I'll post that later too. She is doing very good in school. They called her up for a scholastic award in their school assembly. I didnt know about any assembly, or I would have crashed it. "That's my girl!! Whoooeeee!" would be fun to let loose. Think Grace would be em bare assed?
Jack and Grace start music lessons in a couple of weeks. Grace only wants to do piano to start with. Jack is in piano and drums. Their piano teacher does voice, too. Jack will alternate, every other week between voice, and piano. We will see how it goes with Grace. Her teacher will have to prove herself to get that little bird to chirp.

Happy New Year

Some pics from Christmas day. I wont bore you with everything, but here is the Santa booty. It was really cool that Santa was able to deliver on their lists. Their belief level went up a few tics.

Miss Grace
Luke. These toys are the most played with by all.
Jack. That Magnetix coaster is AWESOME! Me and Jack have alot of fun with that one.
Granny sent some treats. Jack really liked these. He added a couple other important ingredients, chocolate syrup, banana, sugar. He was being too quiet, so I went to check on him, and he was sitting in front of this.
The mess.
After the kids started to wind down in the living room, Mommy started screaming in excitement from the tile room. I thought she hurt herself. We all ran in there to see what was the matter. Some things were too heavy for santa to be dragging all around the house, apparently.
Jack has been practicing every day. He is pretty excited about this. Grace gets behind them every once in awhile, too.
Lucy and Mindy were on his good list too.
