Rebirth

Check out what Husben got me for Christmas!

He also included some large iron-on numbers, so the question I put to you is, what number should I put on the back? The original was #2, so consider that.

Manicures

The girls allowed me to cut their nails this morning after I promised to paint them. Eventually it came to me, and the girls painted my nails. They each did one hand. Anna did pretty good, Eliza... I don't think she skipped any colors.

Record Keeping

(This is not supposed to be of interest to the general public, this is more of a record keeping entry.)

We sat down tonight with the girls and tried to list all the words in Eliza's profoundly limited vocabulary. She's over 2 years old now and we struggled and split hairs and were able to only list around 50 words/animal sounds. (Luckily she supplements with lots of grunting and pointing.) And here they are:

Mommy

Mom

Mama = grandma

Bampa = grandpa

Dada

Nana = Anna

Baby

Yeah

Hi

No

Hehe = horse

Hahhah = monkey

4 Months of Fun

Calvin is already 4 months old, he's a joyous perfect boy. He's great at sleeping, smiling, and spitting up all over everything. He is also starting to grab at things.

He loves sitting up and sucking on his fingers (As a child, I sucked my index finger rather than my thumb, that's why it's important). And his sisters love him.

Here is a sneak preview of what Calvin is getting for Christmas. I found a tutorial with pattern on instructables.com and finally got it done last week. He already loves his Hobbes.

 Eventually Anna got antsy during the photo shoot and wanted to take some pictures, here's just one of the many that she got.
