Caleigh has been totally in charge of her personal grooming lately. Here is a picture of her sitting in the bumbo and trying to use the nail scissors on her toenails (which she actually hates so it is funny that she is trying to do it on her own). She also loves putting on lotion, washing hands, and lately she has been obsessed with bows. As soon as she wakes up she will ask for a bow ('doe') and whenever her bow comes out or she doesn't have one in she will pick up her hair and try to put it behind her ears. Pretty cute stuff.
On another note we have been going through some major behavioral issues lately (likely a combination of the age and adjusting to a new baby)... Major whinning (like all day, follow you around whining), sticking her leg through the crib slats (and getting it stuck) and then crying - and she gets it really stuck - she has a bruise from doing it, and the constant "no" with disobeying. At least in the midst of it though she is getting so much more verbal which is fun. When Caleigh was a baby I never believed anyone when they said, "it is so much easier having a baby than an older child," but now I see that it is completely true. All this little guy needs is to sleep and eat and have a clean diaper.
Andrew is doing great. We took him in to the doctor on June 29th (15 days old) and he was 8 lb 4 oz... a growing machine. He is looking more and more like his daddy every day and generally he is a great baby. At night he is waking up every 3 hours like a clock but at least at night he goes straight back to sleep. He has been such a joy to us and we are loving our little family of 4.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons (children) born in ones youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. Ps 127:4-5a
