Walker Boy is on the move....

Caleb has really gotten the hang of this walker thing! He will take anything and make it into a walker if he can't find this real one. He will use his barn, his sister's toy stroller, and the Dora car! All very entertaining. He gets quite annoyed when he can't run over the things in his way. I just had to catch this on video for ya'll. He is such a fun little bug! I know, I sound like a total nut in the background but this just truly excites me!

Toddlers can sleep anywhere...

Emma woke up from her nap early and wanted to come into the computer room with me (yes, I do blog during naptime). Our new rule is that the paci only lives in her bed so she had to give it up to come with me. I was shocked that she agreed. She sat down in the video rocker and curled into this odd knot and went back to sleep. What's really funny is that without her paci she is squeaking and chirping in her sleep. I think she's dreaming. Reminds me of my childhood dog, Spots. If she starts running in place I'll let you know! HA!

Lovely Legs in the Morning!

I love morning time at our house. It's not that I'm not tired--the first thing I do is get some coffee--it's that my babies are snuggly and the day is still quiet. I hardly get a chance to hold Emma these days because she is so busy. She also tends to be a true Daddy's girl and is most often on his lap if he is available. This morning she wanted to be snuggled in my shawl and we were laughing about our lovely legs. She says, "Luzly luzly." I'm not sure she knew what I meant but she was being lovey!












This is one of those weird pictures that I know will make me teary later when I'm old! My sweet baby girl's legs with her Mama's! Notice the unshaved paleness of mine and the bruised two-year-oldness of hers! HA!

Quiet Concentration and Innocence!

I am moving things around in my house--Something I do too often according to Darren! I'm actually making space downstairs for him to begin construction of my bookshelves! Anyhew, I was shuttling stuff about today and noticed the "chatter" had stopped. I stuck my head into the study and there they were--all quiet concentration and innocence. Emma found the remote to the unplugged CD player! She was working hard to get it to work. Caleb was just following his sister into trouble! I have a feeling that will happen rather often. Call sometime and you will hear this "chatter" in the background. My Dad says it sounds like parrots chirping back and forth. I live in a pet shop, er zoo! Ha ha ha!

Stuck!!!

"I's stuck!" Emma got stuck in her toy box today! He he he! She wasn't happy that I wanted to take a picture before helping her out.


















Caleb was coming to see what all the hub-bub was about!

Thank you for your prayers. The allergist was very nice and will be able to help us. It is going to be a process but so are most things!

Taking Caleb to the tortur...allergist today!

I'm taking Caleb to the allergist today. He has been having developing allergic issues especially since we went to "real" foods. His blood work came back allergic to milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, egg whites, dog dander, and cockroach. Don't ask me about that last one--I have no clue. He is taking a lot of Benedryl and Mommy's stressed. He about swelled shut on me the other day. Please pray that this Dr. will be helpful and kind. I'll let you know. If you have any wisdom on this subject please share. Thanks.

TP babies...

I remember Emma doing this right after we moved here--and it seems like only yesterday.


Well, it's happened. My sweet Caleb boy got into trouble today. I was off dealing with dinner and I noticed it was too quiet. I skuttled around the house to find him gleefully pulling the paper off the role. The camera was handy so I took some shots of him before he was aware and after he joyfully responded to my, "Caleb, what are you doing?"
