Happy Birthday Selah!


Ok, it's very hard for Derek and I to wrap our heads around the fact that we have a three year old daughter! Seriously, where has the time gone? As parents, ofcourse it's natural to think your child is the cutest, smartest, sweetest ~ but Selah REALLY is all those things!!! We can't imagine life without her and can't wait to see what new adventures she will take us on next.

Saturday was her birthday and we threw her a little family party to celebrate the occasion. She woke up and said she wasn't three until she had her birthday cake (literally didn't want to open the presents we got her until the cake arrived) ~ quite the hoot that one! Here are the pictures so you can share in her birthday fun.

Our other BIG news is that Selah started preschool today (one day a week for 2 1/2 hours). How much can one mommy take in a week? When I dropped her off ~ it was the dreaded scene of clinging, screaming and sobbing! When I picked her up ~ she didn't even know I came back, she was too busy playing dress-up! She told me in the car ride home that "school was so much fun mommy and can I go back and play again??". I told her that made mommy cry because I was so happy she had fun ~ she was like "mommy, you can't cry ~ I told you I had fun"!!!!

Eight Months Old & Signing


Yes, that's right ~ Judah has learned his first sign "more"! It wasn't too difficult now that he LOVES his cherrios and always wants more. I started showing him the sign about a week ago and then yesterday we noticed he seemed to be actually doing the sign ~ today there was no doubt!!! You go buddy! This week has been crazy ~ not only has he become quite the crawler, he learned how to sign, started saying "Kha-Kha" for our kitty Noel, and you can see the glimpses of his first tooth begining to work its way up. He's moving on up in the world ~ too fast if you ask me!

Here is the video of him signing ~ enjoy!

On The Prowl



Well, our peaceful days are OVER! Judah has learned how to crawl! Last week he started "scootching" on his belly across the floor and today he has mastered crawling ~ watch out Noel (our kitty) he is coming for you!
