A lot of pictures...for no particular reason

Donovan likes to cover his sister with blankets. It's how they play. Chamae just tolerates it all.

Donovan earned a special treat last week so he had to get dressed so we could go to the store and get it. This is what he chose to wear. Brad thought it was great, so he got to leave it on, slippers and all. What an awesome outfit.

We watched Corbin and Addi one morning when their babysitter couldn't. She doesn't look quite as large next to him anymore! You can't tell, but her legs are still a little longer...proof coming up.






Happy chill babies. Chamae can be quite pleasant a lot of the time! But when it's time to sleep, she drives us crazy!!

Donovan was excited to have Addi over. He always tells me, "when Chamae gets bigger, we should name her Addi." He loves his sister, but he's known his cousin longer and thinks she's great.


Not sure if you can tell, his feet are not touching the ground. There doesn't seem to be a huge difference in their weight, but her legs are definitely longer!


He loves holding her. He'll tell me, "just leave her. I'll hold her."

He even shares his blankets.



We have started introducing veggies. She loves everything she has tried (carrots, yams, and green beans). I have been pureeing on my own and freezing them in ice cube trays, an idea I learned from my cousin, Annie. I thought it would be a long, annoying process, but it's really not and it's cheaper and more convenient...in my opinion. She likes to play with the spoon when she's done.



He's a cute little stinker.

So is she.










I painted her nails the other day. It was not easy.

They love each other. She laughs at him all day. We have to work harder for our laughs.




Brad gave Donovan a summer haircut the other day.




There's a new bakery downtown that we went to yesterday. They have all kinds of fun treats. Donovan likes their cupcakes.


That's it. I am trying to survive while Brad is gone for a week. I'm already pretty tired. Why can't my baby just sleep through the night? It was so much easier with Donovan!

The kiddos are so cute! I don't know if I have told you this before but you should get the baby whisperer it might help out with Chamae's seeping!

We had fun playing games with Brad the other night. Colin is confused as to why you and the kids aren't here too. When I mention Bradley he keeps asking for Baby Chamae. And sometimes DeAnna too. He gets excited when I remind him that you'll all be coming in a few weeks. I don't have any good sleeping secrets. Do you have any good behavior secrets? Colin is really trying my patience these days...

Nice pictures! Sure wish I had some to display and show off at my house, in my purse, at school....
Looks like Corbin is catching up with Chamae. No doubt her legs will always be longer though. I'm so glad Donovan is good with his sister! He's a cutie too and I like his hair cut. It's good Chamae is liking her veggies. I'm sure she would really make a face if she gets the store bought stuff now. Bradley worked really hard yesterday in the front yard for me. It looks so good now with all the overgrown trees and bushes gone. Wish Chamae slept better but I dont have any magic to share.
