Party Pics

We went to Logan’s 2nd birthday party this morning, and we took a lot of fun pictures of our friends.  A separate actual blog post will follow, but I wanted to post the pictures I took of other kiddos for the mommies who might want them.

Are you using Swagbucks yet?

I’ve blogged about Swagbucks before, but it’s been a little while, and I wanted to make sure my friends all know about it!  Money Saving Mom has a tutorial up on her site right now about great ways to earn Swagbucks.  I’ll just direct you over there, instead of trying to repeat everything here.  Basically it’s a search engine (and more) that is easy to use but that also earns you points (“swagbucks”) that you trade in for free stuff!  My favorite is a $5 Amazon gift card for 450 Swagbucks.  Wahoo!  Sometimes I use mine for Kindle books – gotta feed the habit!  Now I’m saving up for a grain mill though, and what better way than through FREE gift cards!

Make sure if you decide to go read the tutorial that you come back here before signing up.  You want me to get your referral credits, right?  :)  And if you decide next week or next month or tomorrow to sign up, you can always click on my Swagbucks button thats over there on the right hand side of the blog. ----------------------------------------------->

A Photo shoot of James… just because

I pulled a couple of size small Fuzzibunz out of the closet a couple of days ago.  Our Mr. James finally has enough chunk to wear them.  This bright blue one is soooooo cute!

As is the baby who’s wearing it, of course!!

He’s swimming.

Oh, those feet and that little blue clad bum!

Little smile.

You lookin’ at me?

And now finally getting dressed.  It was a little chilly, and I was afraid he would soon match the diaper.  There aren’t many clothes like this, but these little pants were worn by Miss Joanna back in the day.  I remember buying them.  I think they were from Kohl’s, and I couldn’t resist because they were that great bright green color that we painted the baby furniture.

I looked but couldn’t find any pics of Joanna actually wearing the pants though.  Oh, well!

James has been in a crazy chewing mode lately!  His favorite thing to gnaw on is skin (a knuckle, usually), but he’ll take Sophie the giraffe too.

What?  I’m chewing here.

I had to go in and wake James from a nap yesterday (I was hungry for some enchiladas!!), so I took the opportunity to take some sleeping pics.

Um, yes.  He is trying to shove his entire fist into his mouth.  I’m thinking a thumb or a couple of fingers would be easier.  Whatever. 

(Did you catch that little blue princess in the last picture?  Sweet Natalie, watching over her James.)

The feet and heiny again!

I could just eat that boy up!  He’s just so stinkin’ cute!

Needless to say, I cannot feel my feet.

She is seriously asleep right now.  And who knows?  Maybe this position is good for her… um, digestive issues.
And the poor thing has an ear infection.
Her days since the four year old immunizations have not been good ones.

My Sweet Girls

Sunday morning in the nursery, Natalie grabbed the hand of this little girl and just didn’t let go!

They wandered around the room like that for a long time!  I have to wonder what this little girl what thinking.  :)

Natalie and James, my cute cloth diaper babies, hanging out on the play mat.

This is my favorite current look for Miss Natalie – a dress with her pink cowgirl boots!!

I looked over at one point yesterday and saw that Natalie had taken it upon herself to fold the wipes for me!  What a great helper!

My poor Joanna has not pooped since Friday.  I’m sorry if that’s a little TMI for you.  It’s Tuesday now, and we’ve tried everything I can think of.  I will call the nurse line again this afternoon if she hasn’t gone since then.  She’s actually at school right now since she really wanted to go (even though she’s not 100%).  I let her, thinking it would get her mind off her misery and maybe help things along! 

This was Sunday afternoon at Mamma and Pop’s house.  She literally fell asleep on Matt’s lap as he was rubbing her back. She’s been pretty lethargic and puny.  It’s just so sad!  She’ll drink juice and water for me, but she hasn’t eaten anything since lunch on Sunday!  She did take a couple of bites of oatmeal this morning.  Yay!

This was yesterday during rest time.

My poor sad Joanna who never ever naps has napped the last four days!
