Find Mom

Last night Staci went to the scrapbook expo and I dropped her off so she wouldn't have to fight for a parking spot. When I came back, Tenzing was staring out the window. When he saw me get out of the car alone, he started crying for mommy. I came in and sat by him on the couch and asked how he was doing. He just ignored me and grabbed his binoculars. He got up to the window again and looked out through his binoculars. I asked what he was doing and he said excitedly, "Find Mom!" I asked him if he found her and he said, "Yes! There!"

Notes

• Loves to eat her squash and applesauce for dinner and eats a lot.
• Pretty particular about her schedule. She gets cranky right around 5:15-5:30 and wants her dinner
• Now goes to sleep about 7. If you aren't paying attention to the clock she'll let you know it's bedtime by suddenly getting super cranky and wants her bottle.
• Loves the jumperoo.
• So close to rolling over.

Katya’s Comedic Brilliance

When my (Jethro's) mom and Staci's dad told us they were getting married, Katya was close by but didn't say anything. I said, "Katya, did you hear that? Grandma and grandpa are getting married!" She stared at them for just long enough for them to stay completely focused on her, and then, when they were about to talk about something else, Katya said, "Awkward!" then laughed and ran away.

It was brilliant.

Lunch

The kids wanted meat and cheese for lunch today. But, we didn't have any, so I compromised.

Needless to say, they loved them.

A couple of the pickles turned out perfect as noses.
