She has teeth!

Actually 2....the bottom front ones. I discovered them today as she was drinking from a glass and I heard them tap the cup. She's at such a fun age right now. She's imitating us. She's so strong and active. Gets up on all 4s and rocks. She'll then scoot backwards. She's all over the place. Have really had to baby proof things...ha-ha I'm so excited. She's over 1/2 year old already. Time flies!

Chase plays T-Ball

This was his first practice. We were all so excited!! Pete's promised to update this post soon.

Our beautiful sky story

We (Chase and I) were riding to Costcos and having some mommy and me time. As I was driving, straight ahead was this incredible sky. I was in awe really. There was this amazing majestic blue color sky with huge rays coming through the fluffy clouds and all the way down to the highway. It was the most beautiful site I had ever seen. I said to Chase look - look at the sky...see how the sun's rays are coming through the clouds. Isn't that incredible? Isn't that beautiful!!! Then he says, "yes - it's as beautiful as you and baby Reece."I was like what? What did you say? Then he says it louder to the point where he's yelling it as if I'm deaf..."it's as beautful as you and baby Reece..."Oh my gosh, where did THAT come from? Out of nowhere!...And did that ever melt my heart. Sometimes I think...there's a little man inside him. It's funny when they start to talk grown up like. Ah, they grow up so fast don't they. (sniff-sniff) Wish I could freeze these moments in time.

Sleep Baby Sleep

I think I need a refresher on how to help train my baby to sleep. She's up more than ever! She's 5 months old now. I switched her from our room to hers and from the bassinet to the crib. Thinking she's in her crib she might sleep better and longer. right??? She used to sleep until 3am then would get up at 5am but now she's getting up at 1 - 3 & 6am and sometimes will get up at 11pm. She's going down to sleep around 6pm.I'm trying to follow the Happy Healthy Sleep Book by Mark Weisbluth that worked like a charm with Chase but it's not working yet with Reece. So while I am still nursing at night, I try to put her down awake but I'm not so sure she still needs to eat at night. MY SIL stopped doing that with her child at 2-3 months after her doctors suggestion.Also, I'm trying the cry it out method but that's so hard. I'll only let her do it 20 minutes and then I give in. Give me the goods guys. I AM SO READY to get a full night's sleep in and I want that for Reece too.

Lemonade anyone?

Chase was thirsty so he decided to make himself some lemonade. I came into the kitchen to find this.
