Good night baby: Brian got what was Grace's toddler bed built back into a crib over the weekend. He got the blue crib skirt, yellow sheet, bright bumper pad, spit up pad all set up. I set the little collection of blue blankets in there. The girls were very interested in all of this. (Grace can climb the edge to look into the crib.) We told them the crib was for the new baby to sleep in. Well all they heard was baby sleep in crib. Grace ran to their bedroom and got baby dolls. She came in and gave one to Sophie and then she put the one she had in the crib. The one Sophie had went in next. Some mornings, Grace runs in the nursery and will put the babies to bed in the crib and shut the door. We get told to not open the door because the baby is ni-ni. At night, she will go get the babies out of the crib so they can go back to bed with the girls. It is all very cute. We still have to paint ... well Brian has to paint. But little boy now has a dresser full of blue clothes and a crib that definitely says "boy!" so that is a pretty good start.

Happy!! and good night!
"Happy" Moments: Happy moments are some of the favorites around this house these days. Any event where you say "Happy " is a happy event here. So that includes birthday, holidays, you name it. Brian recently had a birthday. I got him a few little boy hats for his birthday from the girls. We wrapped them while he was out getting our veggie share. I explained to the girls they were for Daddy's "Happy Birthday" that was tomorrow. As soon as Brian walked in the front door, Grace yelled "Happy da-da!" Needless to say, that was the only present her daddy needed for his birthday as seen by the smile on her face. Since Sophie repeats most of what Grace says, they spent the evening saying "Happy da-da!" We got him happy birthday balloons or as Grace say "happy oons". We had a "Happy cake" that they got to help blow the candles out on. The happiness continued on Mother's days where I was wished "Happy mama!" and my mom was told "Happy Grandma". It probably doesn't help that their favorite book is birthday themed picture book so it has all of the fun birthday stuff in it like balloons, cakes, games, and hats. They were very excited to have so many "happy days" all together here recently. So if you get wished a "happy", know it is a special day for you indeed!

Jump ... Up!
My Sophie Moment: Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons are crazy here at our house. I get home from work a little early so Brian can immediately leave to go to work. This past Thursday in the few minutes when Brian and I passed the girls off, Sophie had a first. She was running around after I got home saying "jump". She was trying her best to jump but we don't expect her to jump seeing she isn't even 15 months old yet. All of a sudden her little feet came off the ground at the same time and she landed back on them! She was so proud of herself. Brian and I both managed to catch her doing this and stood there in shock with huge smiles on our faces. She managed to jump two more times that afternoon but landed on her butt both of the times. She hasn't been into the jumping idea since Thursday but it was great to see her accomplish something she has been trying so hard to do!
My Grace Moment: Grace's new favorite phrase is "Up we go!" She loves to say this as we go upstairs or get in car seats. She has also learned "Up and Down." When she says "up" she puts her arms up in the air and when she says "down" she puts her arms down. I think this her new dance move.
New Baby Update: I haven't provided one in awhile. New baby is starting to move. Ok he or she has been moving but I am now starting to feel movements. I was also blessed with my first moment of morning sickness (after dinner of course!) last night. At 16 weeks 5 days, I figured I made it through the sickness stage and was counting my lucky stars. Think again. Cravings are still meat and cheese sandwiches. I have decided that this baby better love meat and cheese sandwiches because I think that will be their packed lunch for all of their school years as payback to how many sandwiches I have been eating. Oh what I would give to have that milkshake craving back. That was a craving worth having! Oh well. Meat and cheese sandwiches it is.
We bought big girl furniture last night. I found a great deal online that we couldn't pass up! We now have two twin beds (with mattresses), a smaller dresser, and a night stand that will go into the room that currently Sophie's room but will become a shared bedroom for Grace and Sophie. Seems to be getting more real that our family IS growing again now that we have more furniture to arrange and evidence of a growing belly for the world to see.
