Updates...

A few important things I have neglected to post recently, mostly because I don't have "pictures" of them and I usually base my posts off what's on my camera !

The first is that at the beginning of February Jack "gave up" his baba !!! Actually, what happened was that he was having trouble drinking from it, he kept saying "it's not working". I don't know... at some point are kids mouths not able/too big to drink from a bottle ??? So after about two days of that I told Jack that his bottles indeed did not work anymore and we'd have to put them away because they were baby bottles and he was not a baby, he was a big boy. And surprisingly he took this explanation quite well. He still drinks milk at the same times, before naptime, bedtime and in the evening after dinner, but now he uses a big-boy cup! Go Jack :) Now we need to work on potty-training..........

The second is that Jayden can sit !!! He had been getting close since late January (about 6 1/2 months) but he was always kind of lopsided, leaning on his arm and falling over a lot. Now he can get himself in and out of the sitting position and he only falls backwards occasionally. He's so cute when he sits up and plays :)

The third important thing is that mommy's birthday is on Friday !!! And yesterday afternoon because both my children napped for 2 hours (at the same time) :) :) :) I made really delicious cookies for myself, and I really enjoyed making them because I didn't have kids around me the whole time wanting attention..... or to "help"....... I have to have cookies on my birthday... a cake too, but homemade cookies are a must for me.

Happy Birthday to me (tomorrow) ! Jack said he is going to help me make a blueberry cake.... I've never made a blueberry cake, and I'm not sure where he got the idea for that... but maybe we'll give it a try. Or maybe something with chocolate, and Oreos, instead ?!?!
