Super Baby!

Our Rose has turned into Super Baby over night. She can now sit up by herself from a laying down position, when she's on all fours she goes up onto her toes - like she's doing downward dog (yoga), and she plays peek-a-boo. To melt my heart even more she says "mama" when I'm holding her or she wants me to hold her. I think we can officially mark this down as her first word! Super Baby was feeling pretty confident this week with all of her new skills. On Thursday daycare reported that she was in baby jail because, as the oldest baby in her classroom, she was bopping the other babies on the heads and taking away their toys. I guess she's taking tips from her toddler brother.

We have to be careful about what we say around Miles these days - as we hear our words coming form him - like when he yells at the dog "knock it off!" We live near an assisted living apartment complex and one day as we were driving by it he said "that's where the old people live." (Mike had told him this once.) So I asked him -
Is mommy old?
No.
Is daddy old?
Yes.
Mike didn't believe he knew what he was talking about so Mike asked him -
Is Hadley old?
No.
Is daddy old?
Yes.
The kid's smart...

During breakfast he proclaimed "I want to wear glasses like mommy."
We took a road trip to Moorhead for the weekend to visit Matt, Janelle and Baby B. We don't see them enough and had so much fun hanging out, eating way too much (Matt's a good cook) and relaxing. The kids were so tired while we drove back today they almost slept the whole 3 1/2 hours home.

Here are the 3 cousins hanging out.
Hadley and Bradyn played so hard each day that they were exhausted by evening.
We had a little Valentine's party and celebrated with an ice cream cake. Miles was thrilled.
So thrilled in fact that while we sang Happy Birthday to him (per his request) he couldn't wait any longer and tasted the cake.
Cute picture but notice - Miles cannot take his eyes off of that delicious treat.
Bradyn is the most fun baby to hang around - he's so smiley - all we have to do is to look at him and he smiles.
What's cuter then one baby in a diaper? Two babies! Here are our little Gerber babies.
Yes, we know we're absolutely adorable and huggable.
Miles and Hads loved having a slumber party at auntie and uncles house.
What's cuter then two babies in their diapers? Two babies in the tub!
One more because they are so darn sweet!
