  • Eight months, oh my.

    Easy pictures of Miss Bennet are out the window. She is moving, moving, moving!

    I tried to get her to hold still with this toy, but it lasted for about 4.5 seconds, she’s on to me!

    Here is the one laying down picture I got to compare with the other months. No, it’s not her whole body, this was as close as I could get. Next month I’m getting help for sure, it was a bit risky on the bed!

    Tuesday wanted a picture of them together:

    It’s in black and white so your eyes are not forever damaged by the hot (HOT) pink sweatsuit Tuesday had me make her.
    I don’t have a huge list of things to say about Bennet. I didn’t even write anything down milestone-wise in her calendar last month. Mostly because she just more of everything: cuter, happier, faster. More interested in the world, babbling more, playing more.
    Sleeping less…
    Still such a lovely, and these girls together. Oh my I can hardly stand it, so freaking adorable! Every morning Bennet wakes me up, and Tuesday usually comes in with sweet words and a good morning hug for her sister. I love it. I might love it a little bit more if I had some sleep, but I still love it.

  • The girls and I had a blast in Alaska with Carmen and her family, of course. We did come home with colds, I’m better, Tuesday is almost and Bennie’s at the tail end of it, but still keeping me up all night. More to report soon, for now check out Carmen’s blog to see some of the fun we had.

  • And we’re off to Alaska this evening! Oh my goodness, just me and the girls. Coming off mega colds all three of us. And of course Bennet is teething like CA-RAZY.

    I have snacks, and teethers, and sticker books, and extra clothes (hmm maybe I should toss in an extra shirt for me…). I am going to try and blog from up there, more so that I can remember the trip more than anything. I have always brought scrapbooks to work on while I’m up there, but it didn’t happen this time. So wish me luck… and I hope you’re not on our flight, ha!
