Hump Week and VDay

Today was my first day of my fourth week of

my seven weeks of my first phase. ha.

Meaning I am over half way there for phase I!!!

WHOO!!!!!!!!!!

And it was Valentine's Day. We ordered

pizza and drinks for my class today at

school for a surprise. They were so good

today, and that just made it even better!  We

enjoyed pizza and drinks and cookies for our

afternoon snack today. Yummy.

I feel like I have so much to say and talk about,

but don't know where to begin!

Harper is getting tubes in her ears on

the 23rd. :/ I am nervous, but glad

that something is finally being done about

her ear infections.  She will be so much

happier at night and maybe will start

sleeping in her own bed. Fingers crossed.

Harper Layne.. she is so funny these days.

Being almost 8 months old (where has that

time gone?!) she is getting more and more

active! She almost has crawling down pat.

She can roll herself over onto her tummy

and sit herself up. Then she will roll back

over and start to rock back and forth on her knees.

She hasn't figured out how to move her hands

forward yet, but it is so close! She just

jibber jabbers all day long. "Da da da da da"

mostly. Of course D thinks she is really saying

da da, but she isn't. Ha. I guess I can humor him.

Still no teeth for little miss, but she will not 

eat baby food. period. will not. refuses.

spits at me. shakes her head no. oh yes, she knows

how to say "no" with her head. and she does it.

a lot. she will eat, however, any kind of table food

you give her. i'm talking biscuits, pancakes, cookies,

nutri- grain bars, mashed potatoes, dressing, sweet potatoes,

spaghetti noodles, bread.... anything that isn't baby food

this child will eat. :) makes dinner a lot easier around here.

Kyler Channing is such a big man these days. He is

getting so smart and so intelligent! I don't even want

to think about him turn 5 years old this year. 5 years old.

I mean, he was just a baby like 3 months ago.  Anyways..

he is so grown up.  Talks about Jesus and heaven

and making friends and what he is going to do

over the weekends and is always playing on the computer.

Always.  He says some things and it just blows my 

mind that he thinks the way he does. :) :)

In home news, I have new curtains and BJ and I made

for my kitchen. Can I just say, I LOVE THEM.

Pictures will come after I have my kitchen painted.

Which will be around Spring Break. I plan on painting

the kitchen and getting my curtains up and my pictures

to match everything. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO!

I love my fabric and how they turned out.  Love.

The next few weeks are going to be pretty crazy.  

I have tons due for school and lesson plans

like crazy to make....Among other things going on.
Did I mention we have been to a birthday party every

weekend since Christmas? And last weekend we did

two parties! I am birthdayed out, to say the least.  I 

don't have any on my list for the next few weekends,

so maybe I can actually clean my house and go

through some things. Whew!

I'll leave you now with some recent pictures!
