On the Binkie front, things are coming around. Tonight, after we did the routine (Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Deep and Wide) Ella whispered, "I be quiet Momma-" and she was! This binkie transition has really made her aware of becoming a Big Girl. She is begining to distinguishing the difference between things that babies do and things that big girls do. I'm proud of her and am excited to get to continue to watch her grow.

Now, on to some random pictures

Rock Star in the making ?? Thomas and Hadley, cleaning up the big girls abandoned snacks- I put Thomas in the booster seat on one of the bar chairs this morning. He thought he was pretty big stuff sitting next to Ella

Finally- Thomas' first birthday is fast approaching (February 16). Any suggestions for a great 1 year old boy birthday gift? I have a few ideas, but am interested in hearing from experienced parents!! Have a great week-

I had fun with Thomas in the nursery yesterday. I could tell that he is a favorite, but then again, who doesn't Sheila treat as if they're a favorite? He's such a little love.

No bright ideas for 1st birthday gifts. Jack really liked all the trucks and cars he got for his birthday. A ride-on toy?

"I be quiet Momma"...that is so adorable. I'm glad things are getting better with the no binkie transition.

A 1 year old will love any toy that lights up, makes lots of noise...anything that will drive you crazy. :-)

I am so amazed at how much Ella looks like you! They are both so sweet. Glad the binky thing is getting better. My kids were rough when it was time! UGH!

I just read teh binky post. You guys are good parents. I seriously cannot imagine what Finn would do without his. I really think he would cry all night! He loves his pacifier! As for a birthday gift, we aren't doing anything huge for Finn (March 1), but we will get him something small and fun and spend our money on the party for him.

so I commented to you a few days ago, but it's disappeared...I love the pic of Thomas looking at Ella, that look on his face is classic.

I also found a great radio station. It makes me think of you every time I listen to it...very 90's style:Bone Thugs, SWV, SaltNPepa, JayZ-it's great.
