Photo Fest

So, I've got lots to share. Firstly, last week I decided to let the kids fingerpaint. I didn't want paint in clothes or on my walls, so instead I added food coloring to tapioca pudding. Then if they stuck their fingers in their mouth I wouldn't have to worry about toxicity. I bought Andrew some Magic Sand and he played with that instead. Here's a couple good shots.



















On another note, the nursery is in a temporary state of finished. I still need to sand and stain the dresser and get a twin bed and hang pictures. But here it is for now.





Brayden's sleeping so well on his own and it's so lovely to get a full night's sleep for the first time since I got pregnant.

On another note, Brayden is learning how to throw and catch a ball. Mom has a little stuffed football at her house and we've been practicing when we go visit. He loves it. He's really obsessed with balls and the word ball. In fact, he's now signing it and trying hard to say it. He gets the "ba" part out, but he's still timid about saying it. I think he's still feeling it out in his mouth. On the signing note, he's also signing "more" and he responds to "kiss". If you ask for a kiss while signing it, he'll give you a kiss.

We went over to my mother's last night and I gave Brayden's hair a trim. His bangs were down in his eyes. I didn't want to give him a full haircut. I won't do that until there's enough hair for me to get a keepsake curl. But I had to trim the front. He hated it. He fought pretty good. My mom had to hold his hands with one hand and steady his head with the other. All things considered, I didn't do such a bad job. And it'll have a couple weeks to grow out a little before Easter. Look at my little man!









Well, that's all for now. I'll check back in later.
