Happy Sharing

Lots of happy going around these days.  I'll share a bit of it with you. 

*Grandpa V came for a visit on Thursday and met little Squirt.  She shared her very best smiles and coos with him and captured his heart.  Grandpa taught Duder how to use a wooden compass (which came equipped with a outside only whistle).  It was super fun to watch our kiddos interact with their Grandpa.  We even got a trip to the park in the blissful 70 degree temps while he was here. 

*We switched Squirt to a phase 2 bottle nipple, which has cut feeding times from 40 minutes to 15 minutes.  Hallelujah for bigger nipple holes.  I know how that sounds.  Couldn't resist. 

*Speaking of Squirt, she has been taking naps, on her back, in her crib lately.  This gives us hope that she'll transition to sleeping that way at night, rather than in her trusty car seat.  Yes, she sleeps in her car seat.  You do what works friends.  And THAT works. 

*Nana is coming tonight!  Hip hip for Nana time.

*Duder's imagination has been running rampid lately.  We adore watching his little brain turning and turning and coming up with scenarios that have us laughing out loud on a regular basis.  I could just eat the kid up.  As I type this he's upstairs making a "turtle" out of his blankets and stuffed "aminals."  There's also a little red dinosaur that now resides under his bed and comes out to play from time to time.  The middle of the night is NOT my favorite time to greet said dinosaur, but luckily that's only happened a couple times.

We're on our way to party with the Syers now, so I'll sign off.  There's taco salad to eat, wine to drink and 5 kids to rally.  Peace out.

Sleeping in a car seat? Really? I can't imagine :) Thanks for hanging on Saturday. Taco salad was good, and so was hanging out.
