Things To Remember

There are so many precious things about this stage of our life I often wonder what I will remember and what I will forget. Here are some little things I want to remember:

1. Last night Jeff and I were strategizing about how to get Kate to sleep through the night. He said:
It's like she dangles a carrot in front of us and then whacks us with a stick (with whacking sound effects).
When he said this I nearly laughed so hard I peed - I still chuckle now. He's so right too. Kate will give us one good night and we think, "Ahh, finally, the worst is over" and then the next night she's up almost all night leaving us yawning all day and rubbing our heads at night.

2. My house at 7:30 am (notice both my girls are dressed - go me!)
3. Hannah learning to do things herself. She is so eager to say, "No, Nah-nah do." I usually say, okay, and then wait for the, "Help please" which usually comes soon thereafter. This is her dressing herself and then throwing a tantrum when I told her that I would help her. Look how cute she is with her arm in her neck hole. She also had both legs in one leg hole, but by the time I found my camera she had taken her pants off.

5. Cute baby buns

* There was a photo of Kate's baby buns, but Jeff asked me to edit it - sorry folks, but my husband wants to raise two modest girls, and I guess it starts somewhere


6. My girls laughing and playing together. When people see how close in age my girls are they often tell me they will be good friends. I don't know what the future has in store, but I know they love each other now and that is precious in my sight.
