8 Months

Wow, it has been almost a month since I have blogged…




The last 8 months have flown. Tomorrow Nate will be 8 months old and I remember it like it was yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown. He is on the verge of crawling and loves anything that will go into his mouth. He has moved into the older infant room at school, he is now with Mrs. Rosa, who was Juliet's first teacher at Primrose. She already loves him and he seems to be happy there. He loves blocks, well loves to let you build something so he can knock them down them put them in his mouth! He has two teeth and the sweetest smile and will grab and give what seems like hugs. He also thinks it’s hilarious to untie my shoes. Why is it that tickles kids so? We got good news at Texas Children’s about his head. They told us that it should round itself out by the time he is two, we were so excited by that news. I got a call from the school the other day, apparently Nate sleeps with his feet thru the bars on the crib. He got one of his legs stuck and his teachers freaked I think that upset him more than getting stuck.

Juliet moved to the Preschool 2 this past week, she is back to being the youngest in her class even though she seems to hold her own. It seems that everyone in this class brings a baby to sleep with at nap time. I thought we had gotten away from having to haul a stuffed animal to school every day, but apparently it is back, although it is a little green bear and not ribbit. She will get a book we have read to her and start to read to us, she does well at remembering what is supposed to be on each page. She still loves Puggles, knows 3 bible verses, and is learning that God made everything. She is such the princess, loves to wear tutus and glitter headbands.  It was so funny the other day she was drawing and put the marker in her left hand.  When I asked what she was doing, she told me "I was making sure the other hand worked."  Smartie Britches!

We took the kids to Dallas this weekend to visit Poppa Darrell, Madison and Sullivan and Great-Grandma and Granddad. We had a nice, if whirlwind visit. We took the kids to play putt-putt and it was the first time for Juliet, she made 2 holes in 1's. I don’t think she knew what all the excitement was about other than we all were excited. She and Madison bonded quickly, they played together a lot.  We got to have dinner with G&G and had (square) cupcakes for Granddad's 80th birthday.

Wow, sorry about the jumping around, but there's alot going on.  Check Flickr!
