300

No, not the movie this time.  It's my 300th post!  Yipee!  I don't have much to talk about tonight.  I've been so busy these last few weeks that when I have some down time I don't necessarily want to type on the computer, you know?

MVJ has been such a good little sleeper lately.  And she's so cute.  We rock for a little bit (I'm TRYING to make her a snuggler!) while I pray out loud with her (and we've also read here, but now she just eats books -- like has gotten chunks of cardboard -- so we've forgone that step for a while...).  Then I put her down and she cries until she has her blankie on (one I crocheted for her, so I feel like it's at least semi-safe in her crib with her).  Then she S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-S until she is twisted to the side.  Then she sleeps and when we come in to get her in the morning (YES, we've had two days IN A ROW of all night sleeping!) she is on her tummy.  That would freak me out, her being on her stomach, for the first few times.  But then I read that after 6 months or something like that, you should put them down on their back, but what they do after that is up to them, and it's ok.  I know she can easily flip back and forth, so I'm not concerned, it's just weird that she's a mover and groover.  Also, she loves to be so much on the side of her bed that usually an arm is sticking out the side.  One day during naptime she got her leg stuck and Daddy had to rescue her.  Sometimes her face is smashed against the rails. She's so silly.

Oh and another funny thing.  MVJ has started hissing like a snake.  What a goof!  She's teething (AGAIN -- #6 is growing rapidly and we're pretty sure both #7 and 8 are on the way on the bottom) and has been drooling like a feign.  She makes a "f" sound and with all the extra spit from the teething it really sounds like hissing.  So, this morning for example, Daddy went in to get MVJ and she was on her tummy (baby cobra pose anyone??) hissing at him!  Goofball baby... baby!

Now how did this post randomly turn into all about MVJ?  She is my life.  My sweet baby girl!

Hissing?! That is great! :) I'll bet you can't help but giggle when you hear that!

J teases me all the time that I am incapable of talking about anything except baby A. I think it's our right as mommies! :)

Like a fiend?:)

I miss her! Good thing you are coming to visit soon.

Adam always ends up with his face mashed on the left side of his bed - but he's so big and it's so little that all he does is turn his head and squiggle a little.
