'sir'

Houston:  'Mommy, this my friend.'

Me: 'Your friend? What's his name?'

Houston: 'His name is 'Sir'. See. He right there.'  (pointing to the floor beside him.)

Me: 'Oh yea? I see.'

Houston: 'He shy. He not talk in the woo-woo.' (talking about the police car.)

Me: (trying not to laugh) 'OH. He's shy, huh? He doesn't like to talk in the woo-woo?'

Houston: 'No. Follow me, we need to go put out fires. You honk. You the fire truck.'


haha . . . oh the start to imaginary friends and imaginations growing large! Love it. 

Our big girl.

Our JL is now 5 months. How has this happened? I feel it was just the other day we welcomed her. And now she's growing so fast. She is finally sitting up. She still tumbles over and is a little weak. But for the most part, she's a sitter.

We've graduated from stage one food to stage two. And our two bottom teeth have really started to shine.

This week we've introduced juice. Since she isn't a bottle baby, I was nervous she wouldn't even care for juice at all. BUT, she is taking it like a champ. So far, she taken an ounce a day! Whew. Dwindling down on the breast feedings.

JL has still only rolled over a handful of times. (Maybe 20) she can go from tummy to back. But not vice versa.

Tummy time gets the best if JL. She gets so frustrated. Haha. I think because its hard work for those chunky legs.

She's still in 6 month clothes. But I do think she will start pushing 9 mo clothes soon. ESP in the neck area. Ha.

My goodness. I love her too. It's so weird how you can love something so much. I never thought I could share my love (split from H) but I couldn't see my life w.o her.

Here's some photos of her lately.

Catching up

I fell off the blogging train for a little. But I have so much to share! I just couldn't stay away much longer!

JL is 5 months old. Ah. And we now have a sitter. She still wobbles and it doesn't last too long. But it's still a sit. The longest she's done lasted a couple minutes! Whoa-hoo.



We've been at Edisto with my parents since Wednesday. And it's been fun, but exhausting as always when traveling w two small ones who want their own beds. H has done much much better. Sleeps all night. Whew. But JL was up every other hour. Blah. But I will say, we've begun to eat 3 containers of no.2 foods. Ha. PIG. I know.

We've gone to the beach. To the playground. To play putt putt. To shops. And to dinners. All mostly to wear my lil boy out. And he is.













He fell asleep watching the Daytona qualifying races with pops. Haha.



My friend Angela is in from WA. And we have a wedding tonight in Charleston. A friend of ours is getting married!! So, we shall have fun! Daddy's coming too!

But, JL isn't so sure if me leaving her.

Monsters.

Oh goodness. I have to tell this before I forget.

Houston didn't want to sleep in his bed tonight because 'its scary. There Monstors.'

I, of course, talk about how there are no monsters. And how daddy will keep us safe. And that they aren't real. And reassure him is bed is comfy and safe and monster free.

But all H said was: 'YES mommy. There are Monstors. They outside. And daddy punch him. And I say, 'No Daddy. Not do that.' And I bite him. And I have 4 band aids. Car band aids. And I make him all better. I get Monstors all by my self, mommy. You stay here.'

I mean, really? Haha. What do you say to that?

'Ok buddy. But I think daddy can handle it.' Haha.
