Random Bits

So I'm working on taking advantage of those teachable moments....

Sonora sticks out her tongue and flails it around in the air.
Mommy: Sonora, do you know why God gave us tongues?
Sonora: Nope
Mommy: So that we can talk and can taste. We can taste sweet things and sour things and savory things.
Sonora: We love apple pie!
Mommy: We sure do!
Sonora: Mia loves Mommy's milk!
And how!

Speaking of loving milk, we took the little girls to the doctor today for their 2 month checkup. (I absolutely cannot believe it has been two months, I still don't feel like I have the hang of it all yet!) Honnah is up to 11 pounds on the dot and Mia is a whopping 11 pounds 8 ounces. They are in the 55th and 75th percentiles respectively and the doctor was quite impressed with how great they were doing. I praise the Lord every day, many times a day, for healthy beautiful children! He is so good to us!

Sleep is still elusive even though they are both going 7 hours from feeding to feeding at night. Sometimes they sleep during that time and other times, like last night, they don't. While sleep sounds wonderful, I feel as though I'm just learning to live without it. Lets just not let me operate any heavy machinery...

What a batch of little darlings you have around the house. And I don't mean Jon! Lisa, you are doing a phenomenal job with that whole crew. Keep up the good work!
