Mother's day

yesterday was mother's day. my second one as an official mom and my first as a mother of two. it was really nice but not without it's kinks. first off, i didn't really sleep all night- don't really know why either. both Caleb and Sadie slept really well and were quiet all night. i wish i could say the same for some of the lovely people who were around our street. some nice young man thought it would be great to wish the moms happy mother's day at 3 or so in the morning. sad thing is, i don't think the guy was drunk. then Caleb woke up crying just before 6. i think he got cold and was not interested in going back to sleep even though he was still very tired. Andy and i took him downstairs, gave him some milk and a graham cracker and sat with him while he ate. the poor boy was so exhausted he was having a really hard time getting the cracker in his mouth. he tried sticking it in his eye and on his nose before finally getting it right. after that we were able to take him upstairs and lay him down. then we layed down and within 5 minutes, we could hear Sadie rolling around and fussing (it was only 6:30). Andy was very sweet and took her downstairs and gave her a bottle so that i could sleep a little longer.

we made it to church- better late than never -and after that went out to visit my mom's. it was a really nice day.


Caleb News

Caleb is still not talking but continues to amaze us with how much he understands. we're learning songs and parts of the body. he's starting to play ring around the rosy. we sing and he turns around in a circle, when we get to "ashes, ashes" he squats down and waits for the song to end. then he stands back up without actually falling down. i've got him to clap for "if you're happy and you know it" but that doesn't always happen. he'll also do some of "head, shoulders, knees and toes". Andy was teaching him where his legs are and showed him that from you hips down to your feet are your legs. now, when we ask Caleb where his legs are he has to show you his whole legs. it's made it little confusing with the song because some of these parts are called different things.



Sadie News

Sadie has big news. she is starting to sit up by herself. she'll go for a few minutes on her own before she falls over. she loves sitting in the boppy and playing with her playmat toys. today she even folded over to reach the elephant ear on the mat and then was able to sit back up. we think she's ready for her bouncy seat because she just smiles and laughs when i bounce her on my lap.
