Yeaaaaaahhhh! I got a few pictures resized. Quick, quick, let me upload them before my computer goes haywire again!

Sisters!...these girls love each other so much,
it just melts my heart into a puddle!

Heres the three mo. pic that went with my last blog entry.
Just LOVE that grin...and she shares it with us often and easily!
My son has a new hobby, its call sleepeating...he can hardly stay on the chair,
but he refuses to stop eating and lay down.
Here´s a little story. Quite some time back a friend of mine mentioned on her blog that she is a tactile learner, in relation to this, she mentioned playing with her food and shredding napkins as a child (and driving her mom crazy). This stuck out to me because my daughter does both of those things obsessivly (driving me crazy on occasion). There is thereputic value for her in playing with food, which helps, but does not conquer the annoyance, but I may be the one in need of a therapist some day, in relation to the little napkin, kleenex and tp shreds I never finish ridding my house of. Anyhow, the other evening after a not-so-great oral meal I told her that if she ate one more green bean she could get down. I looked away for just a minute to put something away and when I turned back, there was one less green bean on the plate, she had vanished from sight and the below monument was left behind where moments before had been an innocent little pile of beans accross from a little blob of mashed potatoes on the plate. It made me chuckle...and snap a picture for the blog! : )
In closing, I thought I´d take a minute to brag on my husband. This picture is "before".
And this one is "after". Doesn´t he do a great job at his job!!! LOL

BACK!

Well after over a month without a computer again I´m finally back. I wanted to post a cute picture of my growing babe, but I can´t figure our new program out, so...stay tuned for pictures, hopefully soon!
But the little update that would have gone with the picture would have read something like this:
Baby D recently had her three month check up! She is doing great and growing like a weed. She weighed in at 5kg (11lb) and measured 53cm (21in) both measurments right on track for her growth curve. She is a terrible napper and a great night time sleeper! She gets up to eat once in the night and once in the very early morning--not bad at all. New favorite activites include sucking her fist, "talking" (she is VERY vocal), kicking and trying to move her body, riding in the car, tummy time (as long as its not too long), looking at and moving rattles and toys. She can bring both hands together on a toy now, she is very observant and she is very tight with her big sis.
Big brother went through a tough phase about a month after she was born, I think his age, the adjusment period and his personality all colided a bit, but I am so happy to be able to report that lots of prayer and some extra one on one time with him have helped tremendously in returning him into the sweet, huggable, independant and fun-loving little guy we were used to having around here.
Well, real life carries on as I write, Daddy and big sis will soon be home from swim lessons and wanting supper, so i'm off to stuff some chicken breasts to go with the mashed potatoes! ...More soon.
