"So promise me you'll never forget...that you aren't an accident or an incident...you are a gift to the world, a divine work of art, signed by God. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on this earth...Flooded by emotion, overcome by pride, the Starmaker turns to us, one by one, and says, 'You are my child.

First trim, first twists, crawling and more...

After Blake got home on Tuesday we all went out to dinner for the first time since Emery was born! We've gone out with other people, just never the six of us! It was so much fun and we only had one incident where Sadie followed a waiter to a table with food and was about to grab their food when I got to her. Close call!

Who wouldn't wanna come home to this? Waiting on daddy at the airport.

Sadie being silly!

Our dear friend Kari let us borrow her mini pack n play. We brought one (thank you Terra) but didn't think we'd have room for 2 normal sized ones. Who knew they made tiny ones? It's perfect! And has given us much better nights! Now Emery is in our room and The Bigs are in a room together.

She's on the move people!!! Woohoo Emme!!!! She stays pretty close to the ground; she does seem to be our most cautious child yet. Just watch...that statement will come back to bite me!
A lil finger play in school. Owen is confusing some of his lower case letters so I thought this would be a fun way to practice. And we got to cook in school too!

Someone had a rough nite...this was pre-mini-pack-n-play. She was up from 4-5 am so her and I went to the couch to cuddle the rest of the night.

Well, hello peanut! We had some really warm days, although this morning there is a beautiful snow coming down.

She doesn't do this all of the time...but it sure is cute when she finds that thumb.

Sadie wanted to go outside to play in the snow like this!

Sadie's first hair cut! It was only a trim, but I never thought I would take scissors to her hair! I've loved this new blog a friend showed me and I can't get enough of it. I felt like I knew a lot about how to care for their hair, but WHOA...I have learned so much more!

Essentially, this mama talked about how when they have tons of lint in their hair and you are constantly picking, it's a good reminder that you need a trim. What? Man, her hair looks and feels so much healthier. I was just scared to cut it because it took us SO long to grow the little that we had. See below picture for how much hair she had this time last year...

Emery got her first twists. Again, on this Happy Girl Hair blog I found has a video of how to do twists and why you put them in. Man, this one is a wealth of information!

Cooper's funny face cracks me up. After I did Emery's hair, Cooper loved it so much he wanted some. Why not? If nothing else I could practice sections and twists more...well, then Owen wanted some. Luckily they didn't last but 15 minutes with them in. I could not believe they sat for an hour and let me do this!






Can you believe how long their hair is?

On the move

Little mama has decided it's time to move.

She started this last week, but has gained some coordination since.

I think we can officially call it a crawl now. It really started out with her lifting her right leg and hiney like she's trying to stand up. Now it resembles more of a typical crawl.

My brother-in-law David kindly pointed out that with all the movement and effort you'd think she would shoot across the room because she's bitty. It's kind of rickety, if that's even a word!

It is so cute and sweet since she is so teeny and she usually makes noises, like grunting.

Wish I had a video, but leaving her on the floor with 2 boys bustling around while I am videoing hasn't proved safe at this point.

Yesterday, we were eating popcorn and watching a movie when she decided to crawl over my legs to get Cooper's popcorn. The boys thought it was a hoot. They kept moving it away saying, "No sissy, you don't have any teeth yet!"

They still don't seem annoyed with her even as she is getting to their snacks. We'll see what happens when she takes trains away...that should be interesting!

Just had to share! Oh, and I should have explained in the post below that Cooper and Owen went to the Science Museum with Blake and painted their faces! Here's Owen's painting!
