The in-between

(I wanted to be sure to add some lighter notes too)

This girl keeps us laughing. She is truly fascinated by dogs, dog tags, dog noises, dog movements, dog ears, pictures of the dog... Anything related to dogs brings out her belly laugh as she chases them around. She finally popped two more teeth on top so we might have a teething break AND as an added bonus she no longer will look like a jack-o-lantern since she's evening out the front now ;) Daylight savings time has not found her yet - she is ready for bed by 6 and up by 5 no matter what! But she wakes up so happy (and SO hungry), you can't really have a better alarm clock!

And this girl! I don't want her to get a bad rap just because she has some crazy tummy issues :) Yesterday was a fairly good day for her and we were able to have some awake time that was happy! You can just tell that she is a happy baby trapped inside this crap stomach. She slept through the night twice this week! She is starting to babble and has such a great smile - when she is able to smile it melts away so much of the stress from her other personality ;)

And our little man. He reminds us every day that time goes too fast! I don't know when he got so big, so smart and so independent. He needs our help less and less these days ;(  But he is a jokester. He loves to play tricks and make up jokes, and he is ticklish beyond belief!

I am so thankful for the in-between. The moments where we have been able to take a quick breath and see one of these smiling faces. That is all the silver lining we need ;)
