New Words

James apparently has learned two new words this week...Gross & Actually.

I gave him both strawberries & blackberries for a snack the other day, which he has had before so I knew he liked them both. James did you try the blackberries? 'Actually Mommy I ate the red ones'.

Goodnight James, Grammy is going to bed. 'Actually Grammy, Mommy & I are going to read some books.'

He spilled my coffee this morning. 'Oh, that's so gross.'

2 Front Teeth

We are about 99% sure that Randi is cutting her two bottom teeth already. We can't feel anything, but we can see them, and she has had all the symptoms for about 2 weeks now. This is different for us, because like everything else, she is completely opposite from what James did. He did not cut his first tooth till he was 12 months, and it takes him MONTHS to cut a tooth. Hopefully her's will be quicker and easier for her.

4 month check-up

Randi had her 4 month check-up today. 14 1/2 pounds, 25 1/2 inches long. So far, looks like she will be tall & skinny like her brother. Everything else looks great, happy healthy little girl!

Puper James to the Rescue!

Yes, that's right, Puper James, not Super James....

...flying around his room!

showing me his Green Blanket cape!

hiding in the closet from Mommy!

Gobble Gobbles

While JJ was using the weadeater, he had James wear his goggles that came with his tool kit at Christmas. He hates them, but he will wear them so that he doesn't have to stand across the yard while Daddy is working on stuff like this. He calls them his 'Gobble Gobbles.

A Brother's Love

Kissing her hand.
We were in the yard again this morning 'helping' Daddy weed eat & bag leaves. James pulled up his little chair next to Randi's stroller and starting holding her hand and talking to her. He always say, 'Hi Titty Gurl' (Pretty Girl).

Worm Dirt

While digging for worms again yesterday, James decided he needed to eat the dirt...again.

New Toys

James discovered earth worms today while JJ & I were working in the yard. He dropped the original one I gave him to play with, so then the hunt was on. We had to keep digging to find more 'Wormies'.

Playing in Her Crib

Projects

Now that I can help JJ, we have been doing a lot of projects around the house again. We let James help paint the walls in their room. He did not understand why only one wall was blue. He kept saying we needed to paint the other ones.

This horrible brown paint is the only 'flooring' in many rooms of the house, including the kid's room. The owner just pulled up the carpet and painted the slab with NON waterproof paint I might add! We found that out when the ceiling leaked and the 'floor' came off when we cleaned up the mess! Thanks to Papaw, the kids now have carpet in their room, that looks pretty good!

This hideous pumpkin orange is the actual finished product in our dining room that the owner thinks looks good! Needless to say, we covered it with carpet!

Finished Project pics to come soon! Both rooms are much better already, but I keep forgetting to take pictures!

Big Girl in Her Chair

Don't they look like they are having a conversation?! She really does adore her big brother already and will laugh at him for no reason at all!

James would not sit in this chair, so it is nice that she will! So far, completely opposite on EVERYTHING with these two!

James grew into his ears, maybe she will too!

Love her laugh!

First Cereal by Spoon

We started Randi on cereal in her bottle about a week ago and decided to give it a try by spoon. As you can see, she was totally not interested. She did not fight me (this time!), but she was much more interested in what Daddy & Brother were doing.

More interested in eating her bib...

Somehow, she managed to get the spoon from me altogether, which she enjoyed chewing on...

Again, not interested...
