hey every body! It is about that time to start putting on the winter weight! Alas, I'm without Hampsire ale....
Nate is great, he is putting on the ounces! We are having alot more fun rhyming with his name, (try rhyming milo!) but milo still doesn't like us singing anyway. The new name for the baby is blanket, just to keep you updated. Greatgrand mom got to meet the little one, and watch the "birds"
We hope every one has fun dancing, I know we will!

cheeky? Or filling out your diaper?

...you can take a guess witch one it is. Nate is now upto 2 solid hours of quiet alert time. That isn't all at once, maybe 5 minutes at a time, but it adds up. His eyes look as if they are going to be blue, but you never know. Milo says that he might like this brother thing, you just have to highlight the positives! ( like more toys!) I thought I should bring it up here first, but this year we would like every one to skip Big box store toys for handmade/ artistic/ educational items. We have to much at this point, also who can guarantee that it can't poison them! We love every one for their role they play in our family. Give the gift of time!
(easier for some than others) we understand!
P.S. Nate got to go to his first funeral. a good time was had by all!

hi everybody. Well the first week is over, and we made it. Nate has been very helpfull by being a heavy sleeper. Milo goes through times of "very excited-ness" to not wanting to grow up. He has slowly been convincing him self about the rolls of being a big brother. First it was concern about the baby getting bigger, he felt better when he realized be still would be older and "stronger". That turned to wanting Nate to be crawling and watching milo play with his toys. This morning be said that boys make better brothers, and faster and stronger! All in time we knew he would come around, now if we can only get jim to stop using the F bomb!

Well, there is so much to say. Jenna is doing good almost back to normal. Milo is ok, he really wanted a sister. He asked if we can take the baby back. We did happen across a pair of spiderman skate/shoes at "the army" store, so everything is ok now. Nate is still on the "lights" so we are waiting to see if we need to go back to the hospital

all home
