Three Months

Sweets loves to coo and keeps going on and on. It is the cutest thing ever. Sometimes I catch Bee rambling and Sweets goo's right back at him. It is one of the most wonderful things about having two children. I love when she talks to me but watching my babes is just a magical experience.

Story time! Bee loves to read to Sweets, he rambles on and makes different animal sounds. Sweets will make her own noises at him when he reads. I don't know if they can actually communicate but they are trying awfully hard. When Bee holds Sweets my heart just melts.

Sweets rolled from her front to her back the day before she turned three months! What a fast learner. She arched her back and used her head as a heavy weight to flip herself over. On the 21st, third month birthday, she rolled back to mostly front but her little arm got stuck. She generally has her fist in her mouth. She definitely won't let go even to roll over. Silly Sweets. 

Little White Dress

 

Our Little Family

Sweet's blessing day.
 

My family has a little white dress that my mom wore when she was blest as a baby. My mom kept it and blest her three girls in it. When my little sweetheart arrived I knew I had a choice. I could buy a dress for my kids to use and their posterity or I could use the same dress that both I and my mom wore. This decision was more difficult than I thought it would be. 

I bought a new dress. Sweets was going to wear it along with my other girls. Well that was the plan until I saw THE blessing  dress. How often does a blessing dress get to be worn for three generations? Oh probably never. I like to be the exception to the rule so my girls will wear the same dress that their grandma and mom wore. This will probably be the last generation to wear it but I'm glad that we can. 

Lily's blessing was wonderful. I'm so glad  that Jason could bless her and that lots of our family could participate.

Farewell til the eternities

This last week one of my cousins past away from juvenile diabetes.

I'm not going to say that death is easy and doesn't hurt but I will say that sometimes death is a blessing. This is one of those times.

During her funeral there were moments; moments that touched my heart forever. 

During the family meeting I watched my cousins mother tuck in her baby. I couldn't help but think about all of the nights that I tuck my babies in for bed. It often seems so tedious, just another task that I do. Wrong! It is one of my blessings. As a mom I get to serve my children. They are part of my world and I can't image tucking them in for one last time. 

I am reminded of the book "I'll Love You Forever". The story says "as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." I am so glad that I know families are forever and even when one passes on into the eternities they at still your family. 

Time moves on, slowly but surely.

I have many memories with Kelsey and am glad that I will forever have them.

The last time that I saw Kelsey was in the summer. We had a wonderful visit, she cuddled my babies and we laughed together. I was able to give her a huge hug and tell her that I loved her. Losing her is so very very tough and has left me at a loss of words.

Summer fun!

We made the most excellent reading fort. All it is a duvet cover and a box fan.

 

We had so much fun! Bee loved crawling around. Sometimes Sweets was in the way of his exploring so he just crawled right on over her. What to do with this boy.

 

Bee likes to pretend that he is still the baby.

Petting zoo fun!

 

Bee loves to help, even carrying Sweets into the house.

 

At the beginning of the summer Bee did not like the pool. That is until we put some fun toys in with him. We cut up pool noodle and Bee piled them onto Jason. They had quite a bit of un those two.
