Caught red thumbed...

Kate and I were at my Mom's helping her get her house decorated scince she moved to the other side, and Mom caught her doing this...

Entertaining herself. So sweet and innocent...

Notice the red thumb...

We wanted to take pictures, so we tried to pull her sleeve up to get a better view of the thumb sucking. Apparently, she didn't want to be bothered.

Annnnnnnd now she's fine...

Oh the sweet comfort of hands in the mouth! What a doll.

As cute as sucking her thumb is, we are not encouraging it. Take the cute pictures and get it out! I try to replace it with a pacifier sometimes, but she doesn't really get the pacifier suck thing. She just chews on it while smiling and drooling at the same time. Once in a while she will suck a little... She just didn't really take to it... which I am kinda bumbed about cuz I bought all these CUTE pacifiers for her! Oh well, guess its one thing I won't have to wean her from later. I also put socks on the hands at night to keep them warm when she pulls them out of her "straight jacket" swaddle and to keep her from sucking her thumb.

She looks like she's starting to fill out a little. Not quite the string bean she was at Christmas (at least in these pics); February 29, 2008 at 11:44 a.m.

As for me, I am living my dream married to the most wonderful man in the world. God is so faithful and blessed me above and beyond with Hubs and our children and our life together. I could not ask for or imagine more. My cup overflows. These days I stay very busy with the children. I also enjoy doing a Bible study and some coaching of track or basketball every once in a while. Just for me? I like to run, scrapbook, sew, give myself a pedicure, read, shop, and hang with my Honey or my girls . Coffee keeps me going, as the days fly by faster and faster all the time. I have also recently gotten to the age where I am realizing that I’m getting old, and it continually baffles me. Ha ha☺

Sweeters is two and a half now, going on 16. She recently got her first hair cut and her toes painted (just for fun). She loves “cow milk”, Cinderella, purses, lip gloss, and shoes (heels), and anything with sugar in it. She loves singing songs and coloring. She is an excellent little mommy and takes good care of her dollies. Her vocabulary is ever expanding and she is learning to write her name. She cracks us up with her antics all the time. She is of course totally brilliant, says Mommy and Daddy. She also loves to build with her blocks and wants a kitty for her birthday, just like Daisy Duck in her story book. Lucky for us she wants it to be a toy kitty, not a real kitty.

Bauskas is one now and such a big boy. He is taking steps and even initiating them on his own now, but not quite walking yet. We recently found out he needs glasses and will be getting them soon. He’s still a shrieker when he wants something, especially if his sister is holding it. His laugh is infectious. He will climb anything and he goes down the slide by himself on his tummy. He loves to get into my lotion basket and “color” (eat crayons) with sister when he can get away with it. He is quite the handsome, bouncy, busy little man.
