Ahem....

I haven't forgotten about the world outside our little home. I have just been a bit distracted. I have tw0 10 month old distractions. Fun distractions but they have kept me on my toes. We both have teeth (Henry has 4 teeth, Lily has 2). We both crawl! (Henry started on December 30, 2010 and Lily on February 12, 2011). We eat real food! We have had ear infections that won't go away and stomach flu visiting us - all of us are looking forward to a fun, HEALTHY spring and summer when we are spending a lot of time outdoors.

Here is a little taste of what we look like now:


Enjoying a little Saturday morning avocado toast. What was really special was how they managed to scrape the avocado off the toast and wipe it everywhere - hair, hands and face - not a lot actually made it into the mouth. They were pretty tired of the camera. They just wanted to eat in peace.



This is the best shot to show off how much food is on this guy's face. What a mess! Luckily his cuteness helps situations like this.





Lily hasn't been feeling well. She has had an ear infection since January. She is finishing her 4th (yes - fourth) round of antibiotics and we are hoping that the fourth time is the charm? She is pretty much saying. Please remove this camera. I don't feel well and I'm eating. What more do you want from me?

On a more serious note - this last week I have been thinking of Kim Beck and her little family of five children. I don't know Kim personally, but I know her sister Heather, who is a beautiful person inside and out. What I know about Kim - she seems to be the same way. I heard about her accident through Facebook and since then I have held my children a little closer. I love being a mother. I love being their mother. When my Mom passed away and I was old enough to be on my own, but it still felt too soon. My heart aches for her family, who lost their beautiful mother at such a young age. You can read Kim's story and donate to her family HERE.

Oh Nikki... I'm hearing you on the ear infections! My little Shelby, same thing... took 4 antibiotics to get hers and now we are getting tubes :( She will just get them now on a regular basis, it's awful! I hope your little munchkins feel better soon!! and you will HAVE to take a little trip down south sometime this summer and hit the water park in Ladera... it's a baby's dream! Shallow bath water for babies to splash and crawl around in, heaven. Miss you!

adorable pics, but what did you think would happen when you gave the kids a smushy food like avocado?

kelly said...

oh my cuteness!!! but seriously, this is what i need to have handy when people say they can't wait until their kids eat solids. it's a big, fat mess x's 3 (x's 2 with twins). but it definitely makes for some cute pictures.

Angela Baird said...

Oh, wow! What a mess! I hope that Lilly's antibiotics worked for her, and hope you are hanging in there! You are amazing...you were before twins, but now you REALLY are!

Randomly found your blog... your kids are so cute! I have a 9 month old and his favorite thing to do with avocado is get it everywhere also! Did you know it stains? You probably do now. I didn't know until he ruined a nice onesie. :(

Oh well.

Please excuse this intrusion.

I have followed Stephanie's blog since before Camille's accident and I notice that she hasn't posted for many months which is so unlike her. I have been praying that all is well with her.

As soon as I log in, I check her blog.

I am worried for her.
