This weekend Max decided to start laughing, reaching for things and roll from front to back and back to front. He also decided that he likes tummy time. Way to reach all your 4 month milestones at once, buddy!
Trip To Des Moines
Those were the best cookies I've ever had! Thanks for "helping" Lucy!
Lucy Mom
Lucy has two babies- Sheepy and Neigh. She is a very good mother to her babies- copies everything we do for max. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the baby explosion of Malin (Sarah Brakke's 4 month), Elizabeth (Zeb and Leana's 6 month), Matilda (Tom and Megan's 5 month), Ozan (Ayca and Kristof's 4 month), and Maeve (Nordy and Lorraine's 4 month). I know there are more that I'm forgetting even!
If we didn't redirect her, she'd spend every hour of the day tending to her babies. She puts them down in their bunkbeds, turns on white noise and the night light for them and then comes down stairs. Not a minute later she reports that Neigh is crying and has to go check on him. It's just a matter of time before Neigh is poopy and needs to be changed. She uses a plastic bag for his dirty diapers, just like Sarah Brakke does for Max. Neigh also plays with Max's toys, goes in the swing, bouncer and often Max's bassinet. As soon as I get home from work, Lucy MUST pump. She pumps a bottle for sheepy and a bottle for neigh. Not to mention they both have their own pacifiers! Lucy is a VERY good mother to her babies.
Back when Max (and the other little babies) were in Moby's (baby carriers/slings) and Bjorn's/Snugglies, she would request that we put Neigh or Sheepy in a "moby" which involved wrapping a blanket around her chest and tying it in the back so she could carry her babies just like we did. Oh, and Sheepy and Neigh have their own stroller, too! Those are two very lucky little "friends" to be loved so much :)
Pool time!
