Us...

Our kids really do have parents.
Even though we are never featured on this blog. 
We do get out. Quite a bit actually. But when we are all out ALL hands are occupied and then some. 
So even though we want and attempt to take pictures.  They are never decent enough to blog.

The kids went to their first birthday party for Mr. SJ.
His mom was kind enough to take a picture of all four of us...
at the same time....

Saw my camera there and realized I could not miss this little photo op chance.

Places to go...

MAC at 11 months.

* Army crawled for the past two weeks. Started crawling on all fours this week.
* Wants to put anything and everything in her mouth. The best thing I have found in her mouth - one of * Andy's brace elastics. How on earth she saw a tiny clear elastic band on the floor and was able to pick it up  and put it in her mouth - I do not know. Either way - nasty!!!
* Her first word might me no! Because she is already into everything.
* Loves her binky and her blanket with all her heart.
* Will let anyone and everyone hold her.
* Will hold her own bottle/sippy cup all the time. Even when she wakes at 5am and needs food to sleep until 8am.
* Wakes up happily in the morning and from naps.
* Has started pulling her headbands and bows/flowers out ;-(
* Love to be outside and makes the funniest faces when the wind blows.
* Has started wanting mom to hold her all day!
* Still does not love veggies. She'd rather eat fruit or yogurt.
* No longer gags when I giver her a baby cracker. She now loves them. 
* Loves to clap her hands. 
* Thinks teeth are over rated. She has NONE ;-)



One happy, lovable, easy going 100% girl.

AKC at 11 months...

* LOVES to throw anything and everything.
* If he is not interested in the snack I am offering him - he throws in on the ground and enjoys watching it fall.
* He loves pulling Mallory's hair - especially when he is bored.
* Is FINALLY rolling all over.
* Is NOT interested in crawling ;-(
* Is making progress towards sleeping through the night. But he is not yet there.
* Is so happy if he wakes up after a decent nap. But if he wakes up too early - a complete grouch.
* LOVES it when dad comes home.
* LOVES  Miss Mindy and it will stop any fussing in the car.
* LOVES balls and his favorite game is rolling the ball back and forth with dad.
* Gets so excited when I give him a tiny pieces of whatever I am eating.
* Does not love it when other people hold him. Mom and Dad are definitely his two favorite people.
* Loves to splash in the bath as soon as he gets in.  When Mallory starts crying from being splashed -   he splashes harder.
* When Mallory cries he makes a grunting noise which makes her cry harder which makes him grunt louder.
* Watermelon is his favorite fruit.
* Enjoys the opening song to Little Einstein's and stares at the TV with a smile as it plays.
* Has two teeth on the bottom. One tooth on top and two more making their way through on top.


* A fun intense little boy with a lot of personality.

The problem with sitting....

She is sitting up in her crib - asleep.  
Her body jerks as she falls deeper and deeper into sleep
this is when she wakes up crying!
