Pillowcase dresses....

I'm gonna start selling pillowcase dresses on my etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/thesistercrafts to help bring in some extra money..... So these two enjoyed being my models!

This is the first time in Christians whole life that he's ate an orange, or pieces of one! Every other time, he's just chewed it and spit it out( gross I know). For us, this is a huge accomplishment for him!!

Four months old!

Jonathan has turned into such a sweet baby and finally seems to be over the colic issues. I was beginning to wonder when at three and a half months he was still crying a ton, but all of a sudden and without warning, one day he just stopped crying! I'm not saying he doesn't cry, but it's normal baby stuff and not all the time or unconsolable. About two weeks ago i moved him to the crib, cause it was at the point where he wasn't sleeping good in the swing due to the fact that he was out growing it and no longer comfy in it. It was a rough couple weeks though, going from movement to none at all, cold turkey, isn't fun! Just last week he started scooting forward, not all the time but once in awhile. He also seems to be on a good schedule finally, sleeping when he's supposed to and being awake as well!

Threesome!

One minute they are all playing nicely and then the next minute I'm having to help teach sharing or kindness..... The other day, Christian knocked over Felicity's train track. So in Felicity's frustration, and trying out a new word, said "I hate you Christian". Well, being the copycat that he is, responded with "I hate you too".... I was surprised at what I heard, but I also thought it was kinda funny because it wasn't that they meant it, but were just trying out a phrase/word that was new to them! Well, trying not to laugh at their immaturity, I immediately reprimanded them on using words like that and speaking unkindly to each other. They also got to enjoy 10 minutes of sitting next to each other while holding hands :-) ...... Needless to say, they haven't used the word again..... Though It saddened me to think of, if not dealt with by parents, how easy it is for children's simple frustration can lead to a deeper heart issue that could last a lifetime! It is so important for us as Mothers to be aware of what our children are doing and feeling and deal with actions as well as the heart!
