"I WANT it Mommy"...
Oh yes, it has begun. It is so funny what she "needs" and "wants". Every day she comes up with new phrases and makes us laugh so hard. It is so cute. Also, she has started recognizing her name when it is written out. I told TJ all the monogrammed clothes were coming in handy! :)
Today was one of those proud daddy days for TJ... Karoline finally can wear her new Converse!! We have been waiting...
Karoline FINALLY sat still for me to do her hair... well, I don't like using the rubber- bands because it stands up too much but I do like it half way up. I am going to get some flat clips from Target and see if it works better, still cute though!
After I took the rubber-band out... Hehe!
Oh my little man... I hate to write about this but he has been "backed up" all week! It has been SO sad! You might want to skip this next paragraph unless you have babies and this advice might come in handy one day! It's way too good not to pass on.
My friend Emily rides on a van pool with a nurse from UCSF and she was talking about using a little bit of olive oil to help constipated babies. You put a little on the outside of their bottom and (yes this is gross) a little on the inside. TJ was so grossed out when he saw me doing this but when your little boy is crying because he needs to poop you will do ANYTHING to help him!! Anyway, it works! He is feeling MUCH better by the way! I think the problem was that once he started solids he wanted too much of them... I think he is going to be okay now but I know what to do if it happens again!
The reflux is MUCH better now that he is on Zantac. He still spits up every now and then but it is just a little "normal" spit up and not a pool of it over and over again! My laundry load is a little smaller! YEAH!
Do you see a trend in these four pictures? Watch the video too... this boy LOVES his fingers!
His new favorite location for an afternoon nap! He always falls asleep while we are playing on the swing set!
Video...
This is what Anderson always does when he eats... the grandparents will love this but it may not be too exciting for everyone else. Please excuse Karoline in the background saying "watch pictures" and "watch videos".
Living in the Bay Area, especially since we are close to Berkley, we have become very "green". I take reusable bags to stores, we recycle like crazy, Emily taught me to hate bottled water, and NOW TJ is walking to work!! It is about a two minute drive to work and it take him 15 minutes to walk... I don't know if this makes us official "Californians" or not!?
Nothing is new with me except I did wear another new outfit today and managed to keep it clean!! I also ate a Fruit Roll Up today and I have not had one of them in like 10 years!!!! I am SO glad that girl got kicked off American Idol!! Oh, I HATE Pottery Barns new return policy (only 30 days!!!).... I am excited about our trip this weekend... I pray the kids are in good moods! I hope to have some beautiful pictures to post when we return.

these are awesome pictures, Beth! i love the one just of Karoline's shoes...very artsy and fun! what kind of camera do you have?
Dang it. I took too long to look and couldn't access the video again, Beth! Send it to me, please. The pictures are great, by the way. Grandma is "hiring" a photographer to take a family picture while we are there for our few hours and we are trying to convince her that you are better than anybody she could hire and it will be much more pleasant than hauling 3 babies (sorry Karoline, 2 babies and 1 big girl!) to a studio for you to take the pictures.
Green Christians are awesome!
