Haley turned four months old just before Christmas. We took pictures and had a checkup and everything right on time, but haven’t been able to slow down and update the blog since then! So here we go. Our little bean is still quite little but is growing just like she should. She is just underContinue reading “Four Months Old”

Last night we met Jim’s family in Bellevue for Grandpa Keene’s birthday dinner. After a quick bite to eat, we headed over to Snowflake Lane to enjoy the show. It was a little cold but everyone stayed warm, and we had a great time! p.s. Yes, that’s Haley snuggled up in the Moby wrap –Continue reading “Snowflake Lane 2010”

Tonight JT started building towers while I was making dinner. When I turned around, he had built one so high it was taller than him! I wanted to get him in the picture but he got shy and wouldn’t stand next to it. He also built a parking garage for his vehicles. This picture remindsContinue reading “Block Towers”

Tonight JT said to me, “I take picture?” while holding the Flip. So I said yes. He opened the case, turned it on, and recorded me. Then he stopped recording and watched his video. Seriously! The Flip camera is known for its ease of use, and they’re really not kidding. Then he said he wantedContinue reading “So easy a child can do it”

I grabbed this picture of Haley in JT’s reading chair the other day as we were leaving. She looked so cute in her fuzzy vest! While I was loading the car, JT snuggled in with Haley and read her a book. What a great way to stay occupied for a minute or two!

We had so much fun at the bouncy house today with our friends Jen, Asher, and Abby and Elisa, Gracelyn, and Tyson. Haley and Tyson are both too little to bounce, so they did a lot of napping. But the rest of us had a great time! It is very close to our house, whichContinue reading “Another Bouncy House”

Haley is starting to make more sounds, and it is very cute. When she squeals but isn’t angry, JT says, “She make happy sounds.” But lately she has also been cooing and gurgling, and I’ve even heard a couple of consonant sounds in there sometimes. JT thought that he should be recorded also… he wasContinue reading “Baby Babbles”

I started this posting last week and then got too busy to finish it. It’s been a little crazy! Miss Haley is growing and babbling and becoming a little more fun. She is enjoying sitting in her BebePod chair for five minutes or so at a time before she gets too tired and wants out.Continue reading “Miss Big Stuff”

There are certain things that I ask JT to do, and I say that it’s his “big guy job.” That way when he can’t do something, I simply explain that it’s a “mom job.” He’s getting it, because yesterday Haley was fussing and he went running across the family room saying, “Big guy job! IContinue reading “Big Guy Jobs”

Every year, my church hosts a Women’s Christmas Dinner. I have gone the past several years, but this year I hosted a table. It was so much fun! A hostess is responsible for the entire table: linens, dishes, decorations, silverware, glasses, dinner favors for the guests, and the dessert. Thanks to my mom’s dish collectionContinue reading “Women’s Christmas Dinner”
