I Phones and Moving In

To my many friends who read this blog, here is a sales pitch. My brother in law Jonny and husband Jason and a gifted artist Peter, have released a fun i phone app that is a toddler game. So if you have an i phone or know someone who does, ask them to spend a dollar and enjoy! It is called Shape Tapper. Here is the website.

We did finally move in to what Daniel calls "the dirt house." Then we finally got internet! Both kids are sleeping right now....amazing. Alice is finally in her crib and own room. The house still looks like a pile of boxes and dust but the dishes are done and we have a working laundry room so the rest can just wait. It was an adventure getting in that is for sure. Daniel is still concerned that there is no grass in the yard but what can you do?

Alice is rolling over and scooting. Has anyone seen this? Babies who just scoot? She inches her way while sitting up by putting her arms down and raising her butt and scooting. It never fails that she is either scooting toward Daniel or toward his toys. She is six months already I can't believe it.

Daniel is doing alright though his fear of bears, and anything new is still not going away. He loves to show everyone around the house and points out all the things that are his. The new favorite snack of his is Chex mix. I finally bought a bag from Costco he kept going through it so fast. He is also pretty obsessed with sauces. Everything he eats (except chex) needs a sauce. Kids. They are so weird.

So happy for you to be in your house! Good luck getting unpacked and settled in! It's such a big job. Post some pic of the new house soon.

Oh kids are so weird. Katelyn always wants to dip everything in ranch. And really if it gets her to eat I will keep giving it to her.

Yay for new houses! Just be glad that Daniel is eating at all...Dani is getting pickier and picker--There are only a handful of things I can get her to eat. She literally eats the same thing every day. Awesome.

So excited that Jason finished an app. That's cool. About the scooting, our neighbor did it until he was 20 months old. It was hilarious to watch him scoot down the sidewalk. I bet they went through so many pairs of pants. It's cute. Make sure you get it on camera. We'll have to get together once you get more settled. We'd love to see your new digs. ;)

Sewing Quilts with Daniel

Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited ...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...

in case you have not heard

Baby Webb #3 is on the way. Here the baby is. We are going to try to be strong and not find out the sex at the ultra sound. So if you have an opinion, about the sex, feel free to share it. I am sure Jason will put a vote up. So far he wants names like "gunner" and "ruby." I told him Gunner might not go so well with Alice and Daniel, but who am I to stop an opinion? Oh wait. I was sick off and on for a few weeks but feel pretty good now. This is the baby at 10 weeks. We are about 13.5 weeks today. Due the end of February. I guess if we are lucky it could be a leap day baby. Daniel saw the baby in the ultra sound and was totally not surprised. His comment was "is that the baby I knew was growing in your tummy?" Alice was disturbed and cried and didn't eat for about two days. Then Daniel reminded me of a few months ago when he heard a voice from heaven telling him we needed another baby. He told me that "heavenly father w...
