So I've obviously been slacking on blog upkeep, but hopefully this post will rectify that a little. First off, our little Janie is 4 months old!! We can hardly believe it-she's sprouting like a weed and is such a beautiful little girl. She rolled over today for the first time...and of course I missed it. That's what happens when you turn your back for ten seconds!! Actually I am slightly amazed that she did roll over-not because she's not a mover, because she is. But mostly because she
abhors being on her stomach!! She just hates it so she is almost never on her tummy. I guess that she really won't be now that she's figured out how to flip over. : ) Janie would make a good worm-she slithers on her back all over the floor, bed, or couch (scary!!) to be able to look at whatever she wants instead of just where I put her. She's super alert and loves to have Conner laugh and smile at her. She is also tall-near the 80% in height so maybe she is going to take after her grandpas and tower over her parents.
Conner is getting bigger and becoming a better helper everyday. He loves to help with Janie and is a little copy cat. He loves to ride in "Dadda's car", go outside, and eat apples. He's also a pretty good little song bird with twinkle twinkle little star, abc's, and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam for his favorite songs (not to mention ya ya rolly, and let's go swimming). He's getting to be a pretty good little talker as well which is good and bad. I'm finding out just how often I say "shhh" or "stop it" among other things. Conner is pretty much obsessed with wearing his monkey pj's. If I let him he would literally wear them 24/7. But! The good thing is that he has started to take naps again (hallelujah!) because he wants to wear his jammies during his nap. So I'm pretty happy to wash the same jammies all through the week so he will take naps. : ) Conner also loves to color and especially paint...in his hair and on his face. Good thing he's cute.
We've been talking a lot about going potty in the toilet, but it's pretty much all talk. He has asked to sit on the potty once and got pretty scared and nearly cried when I put him on. He hasn't asked again since,but frequently tells Janie that her poops are yucky and that she needs to go potty in the toilet. : )
We've been really enjoying Spring this year-I mean we're actually experiencing it here in Idaho which is a pretty rare occasion. We planted the garden a couple of weeks ago and we're hoping that everything will grow well even with the few cold nights we've had lately. We were able to see Dave's parents and two sisters last week which was really fun. Conner loved playing with his cousins and it was super fun to see Amy J with Janie. We also got to go and see my sister in Tooele, UT last weekend when they blessed their little girl Elsie Jane and we have a nephew getting baptized this coming weekend...summer's busyness is on the way!
We replaced/fixed our mailbox for the fourth time since living in Rigby and quite frankly its getting be somewhat of a joke at our house. We don't know why our mailbox is cursed, but it's been hit by cyclists and looked like someone took a baseball bat to it. The plows of course do a number on it and our poor mail lady keeps threatening to not deliver mail due to the fact that it swings like a pendulum on a pole. : ) Good thing Dave is a good handy man and puts up with it and me. Hope everyone is doing well!
