So I put Bri down for her nap in her crib and took Adi to our room to let her sleep on me. Well Adi's sleeping on me as planned but Bri is sitting beside me watching cars. Guess we put her crib too close to the bed. I believe she used it to get out of her crib. :-/

So tired

Poor thing is so tired. Nap schedules are off so she sleeps every chance she gets. This picture was taken after tickling her feet. She's out.

Good sister

Bri is helping me get a break by feeding her sister cheerios for me. The sun wipes me out so I'm watching a bit of tv while sisters play. Good stuff.

Babydoll

Babydoll watches Bri while she eats. Bri sets up whichever toy she happens to have that day to watch her eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.

8 months

Ah, our sweet Adi has turned 8 months old. She is just a joy and a perfect addition to our silly family. She’s officially a crawler now but mainly crawls to a place she can pull herself up to cruise. The girls frequently make each other laugh which I cannot get enough of! (As you can see in the last picture.)

Bri is becoming a better sister everyday. She’s always loved her sister but the word “gentle” is not her part of her vocabulary. Although she is no more gentle now then she was 8 months ago she is learning when Adi says “No” (by crying) and doing a much better job at stopping what she’s doing and trying to make Adi better by bringing her a toy. It’s pretty cute really. Probably the most important reason for Bri being better with her sister is Adi is stronger now and can handle more of Bri’s shenanigans. I’m hoping now that Adi can crawl she’ll leave a situation if it’s bothering her, although I have a feeling that will not be the case. Adi does love her sister and sometimes I think I take second place to Bri for who she wants to spend time with. (Poor Steve doesn’t have a chance!)

Bri is also a big helper around the house. I feel I’m getting a bit lazy since I can now direct Bri to put my shoes in my closet, get me a blanket, or bring me the peanut butter, and she’ll do it, no questions asked. Oh yes, this is a good thing. I will miss this helpful stage when she grows out of it. Hopefully it will be at the same time Adi is entering the helpful stage then I’ll still have someone to sort the socks, wipe the dinner table and carry a grocery bag. Who said having kids didn’t have it’s benefits.

Sleeping Bri

This is how I found Bri this morning.  Pretty cute I thought.

Snow!

Fun in the February snow. I have mixed feelings of this snow. On one hand, I'm a bit worried for all the plants I planted last year that may not have had a chance to establish before such a late season freeze... but then again, snow is fun so I think the memories will outlast the dead plants.

Crawling!

Here's our little crawler. So fun.

Steve's phone

No, she is not closing her eyes because of the flash.

Poor tired thing fell asleep in her bouncy chair.

Conversation with Bri

In response to: "Bri, you do not have to eat the peas, you just have to pick up the ones you threw at me then you can have some snapeas and lunch" she responds with... "No, I want to just cry." 

So she cried.

Fantasy Lights

Bri enjoying fantasy lights that Val won free tickets for.
