Better Wash Your Hands...

Or you might catch the FEVER!!!

Millie is a closet fan of Justin Beiber and was so excited to see his movie, but with a new baby being born I was out of comission so it was up to Jason. He asked if he could walk the girls to their theatre and then go watch a different movie, um no. But then genius idea - Auntie Cami was coming to town and not only is she an awesome auntie, she is also a fan of children's menus and Disney media. Elli called Auntie Cami and she was game; actually she said she had really wanted to see that movie and her nieces were her perfect cover.

Go big or go home -

they pulled out all the stops, t-shirts, singing doll, hoodies, and face messaging.

I smile, you smile :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

It's still March...

Here are 2 jokes Amelia would tell you if you were here, and if it was her idea - heaven forbid you suggest it:

Why did the chicken cross the playground?

To get to the other slide.

What do you call a bear with no teeth?

A gummy bear.

Not on my watch!

I didn't know that being a finger sucker was in DNA, but it must be since I was batting 1000 with my first 3 children and #4 has shown strong tendencies to follow in their footsteps. And those who know our family well know it is not just a finger or two in the mouth, the other hand likes to be busy also. So the buck stops here! I feel I need to explain to everyone why my 2 month old is wearing mittens that are too small for him; it is because I am trying my darndest to block a habit before it is formed. They only make tiny mittens for baby's first couple of weeks so Max's hands are for the majority of the day balled up. I hope I am not hindering any motor skill growth but I am one determined mama. He is on a merit system and if he has not been sucking on the mittens he can earn a recess where I work with him on grasping, but the moment I turn my back and hear the tell-tell slurp, 2 demerits are tallied and the mittens go back on. I have tried to research "ways to prevent" on the internet but all I can find is ways to "break the habit", so I am flying blind on this one.

But look at his darling smile, does it make you heart smile like it does ours? (Elli wrote that line on a card for me when she was younger and sweeter.)

Luved

We have enjoyed all the family since Max's birth, he is very luved!
