The Fishpond: Sugar & Spice

Sugar & Spice

This morning was one of those days where I would have preferred to just go back to sleep. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

It seems like the only thing constant about a baby is change. You just get used to one thing..... say a certain sleep schedule and then...... Wham! up all night again. And sure as shooting if I can sleep in she's awake, but if I can't sleep she'll sleep for hours.

After taking the kids to school, we pulled out the camera

I don't know if you caught it when I mentioned it here . When she is happy her tongue is out and moving around.

Lately Princess has started to hold her hand out and move it side to side. Looks just like waving. So cute!

When she wants to go to someone she will reach out her hand and then lean.

The girls have starting saying, "give me five" and oftentimes she'll put her hand up to theirs.

Speaking of hands. Here's are getting pretty quick! Eating, while holding is a dangerous game. She has now spilled a bowl of cereal and managed to grab a bowl of chocolate ice cream spilling it all over her and mom. Brown matches pink right?

(sorry kind of blurry)

Princess rubs her feet together. Rubs them when playing, crying, nursing, excited- You name it. Done it so much she has calluses on the inside of her feet.

It is so nice that she will sit and play with toys for a few minutes.

It's a good thing babies have lots of smiles, giggles and cuteness for sometimes it's the only reason I can handle the other times.

And a brother who loves to entertain. It's just the break mom needs.

Important decisions need prayer!! Heavenly Father can answer our prayers with a Yes, No, or Maybe So. "When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence. When He answers no, it is to prevent error. When He withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth. We are expected to assume accountability by acting on a decision that is consistent with His teachings without prior confirmation. We are not to sit passively waiting or to murmur because the Lord has not spoken. We are to act." Elder Richard G. Scott
