we began the week with this little guy, trying to walk along the couch. he's 8 months now and testing out the strength and steadiness of his legs.
whenever he eats, i love watching his wiggly feet. they are so boyishly big, i love it.
mosiah loves his highchair, mostly because he loves to eat.
in an effort to supply some kind of "fun" and entertainment, i brought out the jar lids for them to play with. it kept their attention far longer than any toys out. they're always into my kitchen stuff, anyhow.
toys are overrated.
mimzy bumped her head and ended up with a bandaid. honestly, i can't remember how she came about it, but she can add this to her collection.
i know it's winter, but this little lady could care less what the weather is outside - she is determined to wear her swimsuit until a beach and warm sunshine appears. make your voice heard, kiddo.
we had a really great surprise in our mailbox this season. santa's letter came along with a hitch-hiking elf. our elf, rocko, from last year came back to us.
the kids' eyes almost popped out of their heads.
the christmas season is always full of magical treats.
after reading the letter, the kids were set to write letters of their own to santa claus. mimzy is confident in her writing skills, i think she knows she's gonna get what she wants.
isaiah and makayah's letters were adorable.
dinnertime was short and sweet.
as part of our advent calendar activities, we made cookies together. everybody helped with something.
oh, they were sooooo good!
the weather hadn't yet turned crappy, so we enjoyed the crispy air and bundled mo up so he could join the family, too.
he really couldn't move much, and i suspect he became bored watching everyone run around and have fun without him.
during the day, it can be tricky finding activities that mimzy actually wants to involve herself in for more than a minute.
with much supervision, we practiced cutting paper with scissors and a sliding paper cutter.
during mosiah's nap, we went outside for a game of hide-and-go-seek, and big ball soccer.
snack time didn't go over too well. she'd crunch the bell peppers and spit them out wherever she pleased. thanks mimzy.
mosiah was up from his nap and saw mimzy riding her "hee-haw." he longingly looked on, and i could tell he really, really wanted to ride that "hee-haw," too.
he crawled right up, and i helped him on. he rocked back and forth, giggling his throaty giggle.
we had blueberry oatmeal pancakes for our silly saturday breakfast, like we usually do.
most of it ended up on baby faces, but that's why it's silly saturday.
our good friends came over for dinner and pictures on saturday night. did i mention, we love having visitors? well, we LOVE IT! surprisingly, we've had so many visitors while we've been out here in sparta, and it has made us feel so loved and special - thank you!
unfortunately, mosiah came down with a double ear infection this past week. i'm glad i took him in to get checked out. i'm so worried that i'll miss something like this and my poor babies will be suffering needlessly. anyway, i'm glad he's feeling better, besides the teething part.
and there's isaiah. he's helping us edit christmas photos. he's a good kid.
the end.
