I think the whole family has lost their mind

Monday Night....
Janna wanted to hold one of her marbles when she went to bed. I couldn't find them anywhere. She was sad but didn't threw a fit. We then called Daddy to say goodnight. All she kept saying over and over to him was " Daddy I love my marbles!" When I got on the phone with him he ask did she lose her toy or her mind, both I replied:)

Tuesday Night...
Janna grabbed Simon's head then took both of his ears and started bending them. Then she says " Simon has monkey ears" followed by monkey noises. It was a good laugh. Simon just smiled really big at his big sister.

Wednesday lunch.....
I took the home phone is the car with me while talking to Isaac and pulled out of the driveway until I realized I wasn't on my cell phone.

We currently have 5 baby/toddler chairs in our living room and 5 baby/kids beds in our house. We have only two kids.

A couple months back Isaac tried opening his office door with his car beeper.

If you find out missing pieces out there, just let me know. :)

Janna

I have done a Janna update in awhile. Here is what she has been up to...

Favorite Books: Llama Llama Red Pajama, Thomas the Tank Engine and the Hide and Seek Animals, and Where is the Poop?

She loves to help wash the dishes and play in the water. She is very helpful and will put dirty dishes in the sink, throw trash away, etc...

She does not like baths and will anything to avoid them.

She loves to hug Simon and play with him.

She is counting more and can get to 12 with no problem.

She loves art, coloring, painting, playdoh, ect....

She like to pretend cook and she does a great job.

She likes to do puzzles with mommy.

She is able to tell when she has to pee (when in the tub) then pees in the potty.

She loves shopping ,especially Walmart.

She likes to go in restaurants to eat.

Janna will be three in April. She will tell you this and will tell you she want a pink cake too.

She enjoys grocery shopping, she doesn't get to go very often but since she has been doing better we let her go now and just expect it to take longer

She has great language skills and will talk and tell you all about what is going on.

Janna has a loud laugh that you can't miss and it will make you smile when you hear it.

She still has her shy moments but is opening up more.

She is sleeping through the night but is does take some time to get her down. ( I probably give into her requests too often.)

She loves church and her friends there.

I know there is more, but this is all I can think of for now. Janna is joy to have around and I am really loving this age and all her new discoveries.

Valentines Day

Isaac and I had a great Valentines Day. Mom and Dad came down to watch the kids for us. We walked around the Mall and shared a pretzel. It was very relaxing. I haven't been to the mall without kids since Janna was born. It was a very different experience.
Then we went ice skating. I have wanted to go ice skating for over 7 years but Isaac has never wanted to. We had a blast. I think Isaac has more fun than me. I got tired sooner and hungry too. I miss my skates which I outgrew when I became pregnant, so I had to rent skates. Neither one of us fell. We had a good time and got some exercise too. It brought back many memories of High School when I use to go every weekend with my best friend.
After ice skating we went to Panera bread for dinner. It was empty even though it was dinner time on valentines day. The food was great and we had a good time just being able to just talk to each other or sit in silence.
Then we went to the book store to walk around. After that we got coffee and dessert from Starbucks. It was a great end to the date.
Mom and Dad had fun with the kids and we got to go out.
I have really enjoying doing activities instead of buying gifts. Our gift is the time we give each other.

Simon at 6 months

Simon had his 6 month check up today.
Here are his stats...

weight 14lbs 3 oz
height 25 1/2 in

He gained just over 2 pounds. He is still in the low percentage but the doctor is no longer concerned.

I have started putting him in his 6 - 9 month clothes. Some of them are short on him. His height explains that now.

We start more solids now. He will start getting breakfast, lunch, and dinner now. We plan on making some veggies this weekend for lunch meal. He loves pears, hopefully he will like the carrots too.

He is a very happy boy and love to smile. He especially loves it when Janna gives him attentions. He just lights up.

He wakes up once to eat during the night still but goes right back now. He now is sleeping in the pack and play in our room. He outgrew the bassinet.

He is able to roll over but doesn't often. He loves to kick his feet up and down. It is so cute. I am trying to get it on video still.

Pears

Simon had pears this weekend and love them. Isaac made homemade pears from the baby blender book. He gets so excited, his little legs kick and his mouths open wide ready for the next bit.
