another month day already!



if these monthly updates get old, just skip it. my blog is primarily for friends and family to keep up with what goes on from day to day in our family. today graham is 7 months old and marit is 22 months. time is passing so quickly!

graham must weigh at least 20 pounds. he is a chunk. he is getting close to sitting up on his own and he has entered a phase of frustration...he fusses when he drops his toy or when he can't reach something. he is falling into better and better sleeping habits, though he still wants to eat 6 times a day. he is eating rice cereal, oat cereal, peas, sweet potatoes, and rice puffs and boy is it messy! he still loves to jump in his jumper. he is such a mama's boy and is pretty much always content if he is being held or in his ergo.

marit is running everywhere. her words are taking off. she says a lot of two-three word phrases now: "love you," "get it," "hold it," "he dropped it," "there you go," etc. she loves to give graham tackle hugs and kisses and points to him and says "hold it." we then let her sit with him in her lap, which is funny because she is not much bigger than him. she is hilarious and has started singing with us before she goes to bed her favorite innocence mission song. her "yes" still sounds like the s word and we are not sure what to do about it. in general she is a delight (despite the occasional tantrums and the frequent need for discipline and reproof).

I'm crackin' up about Marit's yes word, so funny! And can you believe they are 7 months now?? I just thought about that today and I feel like Ellie just turned 6 months, my goodness. Oh well, good thing that they only get cuter, right? They are adorable Ellen, keep the updates coming!

I love your month day updates. What a great idea! It is funny what little kiddos say sometimes. Our little buddy loves his little Crocs. Only he leaves the "R" out of the word when he says "Crocs."

Little Buddy and Marit must have birthdays that are really close. LB is also 22 months.

Oh and Congrats on your house! How exciting!! :)
