Happy Friday

We've had quite a week. Jacob tried biter biscuits. Does anyone remember these from your kids? They are wondeful for teething but absolutely messy. Jacob seemed to enjoy the graham cracker flavor and the fact that he was making a huge mess. He never actually finished a biscuit but he was able to get off all the outside. Most of which ended up on his face or bibs...

Yesterday we finished Jacob's room. We needed to let the paint dry completely before applying the border to the walls. It only took us 30 minutes to actually put it on the wall. And, this is the important thing, it was still up this morning. So it worked!

Also yesterday we had our first Parent/Teacher conference. Mazie's teacher went on and on about how great Mazie is in class and how polite she is with the other kids. I almost asked her if we were talking about the same child. Just kidding. Mazie usually demonstrates her best qualities away from her mom and dad. At least I know she is listening to what I am trying to teach her. While we were talking to the teacher, Mazie played with Jamie very nicely. As a treat we went to the school book fair and bought some books. Mazie picked out her first chapter book. Here she is reading the first chapter to me...

The past few nights Jamie has wanted to eat her dessert outside. A brownie picnic. Last night, I was asked to join her. We sat at the playset picnic table and shared a brownie. It was so nice to talk about her day.

Jamie and Jacob had a little time to snuggle and play after bathtime. I am not sure if Jacob was trying to tackle Jamie or just flip onto his belly.

Jacob decided to do a little PT before lights out. He's giving us 20 here...

He gets up on his toes and hands and pushes as far as his tiny toes will allow. He actually gets pretty far if he keeps with it. This is the part that scares me. I am really not ready for him to be mobile yet.
