Day Thirty Six.

I love watching Jacob develop his nurturing side with his Baby. He has actually added a new baby, dubbed "Cute Baby" so now there are 2 to keep him busy!  I am smitten with his sweetness.

Day Thirty Five.

"Moooooooooommmm-yyyyyyyy!!"

I could hear a little voice yelling from the kitchen. I peeked outside where Jake was playing in the rain.

"I got stuck in the mud".

Poor little firefighter got stuck on the way to his engine.

(he really was stuck! you can't tell by the photo but he was really suctioned into that mud!)

Day Thirty Four

Ella doesn't waste any time in making new goals. As soon as she masters one skill she is on to another. She is very motivated and very determined. Qualities that will serve her well, and give her parents a fun second year I am sure. She just started crawling a few weeks ago and now she is very quick. she is into everything but this stair between the kitchen and living room is giving her trouble. She is determined to climb it! I give her a few more days before she is over it...and then I am not sure what I am going to do!

Day Thirty Three.

 Ben (or Ben.N. His super hero alias) is very convincing of his super powers. They come in especially handy when I need help with anything because "Ben.N" is quick to rescue in most circumstances.
Gramma made he and Jacob ("Jakey-Super") these capes and they wear them a lot.
Ben is concerned about his lack of flying though.
"Mommy do ALL the superhero's fly"?
"One way or another, I think they all do, yes/"
"Mmm. That is what I thought".

He spend some time then running up and down the hall leaping off the step. Again and again.

Finally he requested I take some photo's of his running leaps.
"Can you take my picture while I run and jump to see why I am not exactly flying"?

Oh Ben.N. You are a superhero to me, even if you can't "exactly fly".

Day Thirty Two.

Grandad and Daddy have taken the boys swimming the last two weeks. Ella joined this week and it would seem we have three little fish. They all loved it!

Day Thirty One.

I would get lucky with a good shot of two kids...three? Well..that is a whole different game! They each look great in one picture or another but inevitably one will cry or close their eyes. I may have to make friends with Photoshop!

Day Thirty.

Ben was a little displaced. He had his bed on the third floor but he was scared to sleep up there so each night had him sleeping somewhere else. Usually our bedroom floor, in our bed or in the hallway. The night I found him asleep in MY PURSE was the last straw. With plenty of bribery we got both boys asleep in the same room...in their beds!
