Jon took us on a small family vacation this weekend to a bed and breakfast on a farm .It was fun, despite cold precipitation and wind for most of the weekend. After breakfast is farm chore time - pumping water, feeding goats, sheep, guinea hens, chickens, and gathering eggs. Farmer Dale tells... (More)

Ring Bearer, Bible, and More
For the first time, on Wednesday before we left for Erica's wedding, Jonathan said, "You're the best Mommy in the world." Now he frequently says similar heartwarming things. He was the ring bearer at Auntie E's wedding, and he did a superb job. He likes to wear his "wedding clothes" and say... (More)

Scissors, Soot-su
Jonathan has been using scissors for a long time, but I just wanted to write down how cute he is when he cuts things. His mouth opens and closes exactly with each motion of the scissors. Soot-su is the main character in his imaginary world, and now she has been joined by Peddy-Deddy, Ron-ron,... (More)

Sleep
Twice last week, Noah slept eight hours straight at night. This is amazing to me, since I am not actively trying to get him to sleep through the night, and Jonathan didn't do that until he was two years old or so. This does Mommy much good. (: (More)

Tandem Nursing
This post has been in my head since shortly after Noah was born, but taking the time to write it has not been on my priority list until now. Before I begin, I would like to say that my purpose in writing is simply an explanation of what we're doing and why I think it's great, and an... (More)

Vacation Catch-up
Ah, it has been nearly a month since I posted anything. So here's a quick rundown. The boys and I went on vacation without Daddy. We drove to Philly, taking 7 hours, stopping every hour, once on the side of the road, once at a rest stop and three times at exits. If ever you need to stop on... (More)

The First Few Days
Noah's a great sleeper, we think because I already had some milk. We had our first tandem nursing session at home Thursday morning and it is sweet to see the two nursing brothers looking at each other across me. Last night was a hard one, though. He had a lot of gas and would not sleep long... (More)

Catch! and Helping
On Tuesday, Jonathan caught a ball for real! Usually the only time he catches it is if the thrower lands it directly into his arms. This time, he actually reached out and to the side with his two hands to make a sucessful catch. This past week has been very hot, slowing an already big and slow... (More)

My Mother's Day
Saturday, Jon bought me a beautiful little azalea bush which we put in a big pot. Sunday morning, he served me breakfast in bed - pear slices arranged in a heart shape around scrambled eggs. After church, we generally relaxed and had time together. We made fondue for dinner. Jonathan did... (More)

More Independence, Thinking, Talking
At church on May 7, Jonathan washed his hands in the bathroom completely independently for the first time - turning on the water, reaching the sink, reaching the soap, turning off the water, drying his hands. I offered to lift him up as usual, but he said, "I can do it!" And he did! The... (More)

Father/Son Day
On Sunday, I went to a baby shower and Jon and Jonathan went out to lunch with our pastoral intern. Then they took me home so I could get a nap, and headed out to the annual Texas Independence Day party at the Regans'. (TID is really in March, but the party was delayed.) They had a very fun...

Dreams
As Jonathan was waking up this morning, he said, "Look at my brown, Mommy." I asked him if he was dreaming about drawing a picture and he said yes. Then, he was looking all around, moving the pillow, looking under the sheets. "Where is my picture?" It was very hard to understand that it... (More)

"It's Dripping Everywhere"
That statement by Jonathan is what I woke up to from my nap this afternoon. It has worked before - to let him play quietly by himself while I take my nap. But today, well, he just tried to be a little more independent than he's truly capable of. He crawled up onto the bed and stood up next to... (More)

Memory and Imitation
One reason Jonathan talks so well is because we talk to him like a real person. Children learn by hearing and by imitating. It is sometimes amusing to hear the things that he says. For example, he got a valentine's day card from Aunt Ellie, and as he saw the stickers on the back and was... (More)

Singing, Independence
Recently, Jonathan has liked to sit in his little chair with his guitar, strumming and singing, "I love Mommy. She is beautiful. I love Mommy." Now there's a sweet Valentine! On Thursday I was uploading the pictures from the camera, which turned out to be a big job because there were still... (More)
