bottle

All of our bottles are put away!!!  Last weekend we decided to bite the bullet and make Logan give up the bottle cold turkey - by the end of the first day he was drinking some milk out of a sippy cup.  He still seems just a little resistant to it, but some of it is he just doesn't like to drink a ton of milk.  Good thing he eats lots of yogurt and cheese.  :)

I finally finished Caleb's baby book - I did a digital scrapbook, am having it printed right now, and am SOOO nervous for the book to arrive.  The perfectionist in me could have paralyzed me and kept me from finishing, but Mike and I put alot of importance on this sort of thing, so I had to just do it.  I've started on Logan's, but don't want to get too far into until I see how Caleb's turned out.  Logan's won't take me near as long to do as Caleb's.  And then after I finish that project I have so many other projects I want to do - oh, if only I had the time, money, and motivation...

Logan started saying "ball" the other day.  So cute. 

I am REALLY looking forward to the weather improving and being able to get out of the house more.  It will be so nice to spend time playing outdoors.  I think we're getting some cabin fever over here. 

The boys are improving on some things that I didn't think were possible.  :)  They actually do pretty well picking up toys before bedtime, and putting books back on the shelf after reading - of course this is with very direct supervision and guidance, but at first I didn't think it was even possible at all for them to pick up a book and put it on the shelf.  So, it's a pretty big deal to us.  :)

They continue to love reading and looking at books.  And, they do have favorites.  There's a Bob the Builder book that they always want to took at (and can point to the ball that gets stuck in the cement...), and a couple Thomas books they like ("...There's a toad in the road, we will have to unload!  That toad in the road caused a fuss on the bus..."  Really?!  Because of a toad in the road they have to get off the bus?  Crazy.).  And there's a Blue's Clues book that at the end says, "Blue loves you!" and sometimes Caleb will point to himself.  Adorable.
