9 months old

Alains is 9 months old now.  She loves to crawl around and pull up on things.  We practice standing up and walking and that is not too far off.  She has the best smile and is such a fun baby!!

Jump Jump - part 2

Practicing her Headstand

Jump Jump

Mom gave Caitlin a jump-jump several years ago.  For awhile we had it set up in the bonus room, but it took up so much room, we took it down.  This weekend was so nice, I brought it out and we blew it up.  I set up Alaina up with some snacks that she could practice feeding to herself and Caitlin and I took turns inflating.

Finally, getting to enjoy the fruits of her labors!!

More from the weekend . . .

Alaina just LOVES her blanket that Nana made her.  When we put her down to sleep, she makes circular motions with her legs.  Then we put the blanket on her, and she just smiles and cuddles with it.  Then she can go to sleep.  I snuck in a few days ago and took this picture.

We went to Publix on Monday to get a few things and Alaina had her first experience in the car buggy.  Caitlin has always enjoyed it and Alaina agreed that it was lots of fun!  She had her hands on the wheels the whole time like she was really driving.

Fun Weekend

We had a fun weekend.  Rusty was out of town so it was just us girls.  We took lots of pictures, played outside, made some crafts and hung out.

I just can't even put into words how much I love these girls! 

They are so awesome and I am blessed to be their mother!!

Friday 5's

5 Things that are always in my fridge - and trust me, you DON'T want pictures of my actual fridge.

1.  Milk, yummy
2.  Eggs - I LOVE boiled eggs in my salad, egg salad sandwiches, and scrambled eggs for breakfast
3.  Sandwich supplies - I don't cook much so sandwiches are often necessary for dinner
4.  Salad makings - love my salads!
5.  And last, these:

They are so yummy cold!!

So what exactly can this thing do?

Rusty had an old Motorola cell phone lying around and gave it to Caitlin to play with.  She was carrying it everywhere.  One day we were driving somewhere and she had it with her.  This was our conversation:

Caitlin:  So how do I make calls with my phone?
Us:  It's not hooked up to make calls.
Caitlin:  So when are you going to set that up?
Us:  We aren't.  You don't need to call people on it.
Caitlin:  But I can text, right?
Us:  No, it's not set up to do anything.
Caitlin:  So it just has games.

By this time, I am dying laughing!
Us:  No, Caitlin, it's just a pretend phone.

Funny, now she doesn't seem to carry it around anymore.
