It counts in my book

Jacob is crawling...I think. He is very uncoordinated (a lot like his mom) but I think it counts. He has been doing this for a month now. I wouldn't say I am in trouble yet because he is still content to just move around and play with his toys. But when his eye catches something cool he has the determination to get to it. You can see it in his eyes when he has found the "motivation."

Meet La Leena, today is her Birthday

Claire has been super silly today! This morning she woke up with La Leena. Her cat formally known as Meeeee and Blue Kitty. She has lots of favorite animals and takes turns sleeping with them but this cat seems to be the one she always comes back to. Well today, she decided it was La Leena's birthday. All her animal friends came to her party and they each had to have a chair. She even made a cake for her with a bowl and a bunch of barrettes. See it in front of the kitty! We had a picnic and then sang happy birthday to her. She also came to Walmart with us and rode in Claire's car seat strapped to her body! No clue where she got this name from. But it has been an entertaining day.

valentine's day

We sent some cards out to family for v-day and these are some pictures from our "photo shoot" Have a great day!

Crazy Sleeper

Jacob is all over the place during the day and all over the place at night too! He usually scoots and scoots until he ends up in a corner and can't scoot anymore. Here he is "hanging out" in his crib!

Bowling

A few weeks ago we took Claire bowling. She lasted about 3 frames then sat and wouldn't bowl. We went on base, so thankfully it was quick and cheap! Jacob chilled in the stroller while Nate and I played and took turns wasting Claire's turn. Guess our dreams of having her 3rd birthday party at the bowling alley won't happen this year. Just kidding...

fingernails

claire saw that my toes were painted and thought they were very pretty! she asked if i would paint her toes. sure, so after i painted her toes she asked me if we could paint her fingernails. i told her no, little girls only get to have painted toes. while i was making dinner, she disappeared for a while. i called for her and asked her what she was doing and if she wanted to help me cook (which she never turns down). she answered nothing and no i knew she was up to no good. this is what i found. she got 8 out of 10 done but i thought she did pretty good!!!

Downtown

Saturday, we went downtown for lunch and museum fun. It is called the Children's Museum but it should be called "The Big Playhouse." There are all kinds of rooms for the kids to play in with different themes. The pictures are from the water room and the grocery shopping room. We go here a lot but I never can take pictures because I always have Jacob in my arms :) He slept in the stroller the whole time and Nate was with me to help! So much fun. We also went to this famous cupcake place! It was YUMMY :) Claire only ate the frosting. Beautiful day. We can't wait for the summer. We will probably go downtown a lot and to the Beach even more!!!
