Our Kids

Well we did it. Jason and I went out of town and left the girls with my folks (who graciously flew here from Texas to watch them) for 2 nights and almost 3 days!! Of course everyone did famously, in fact I was probably the only one worse for the wear. I did think of them often, every minute I wasn’t doing something I was wondering what they were doing. I would be lying if I did not admit it was nice not to be fixing food or wiping bottoms eternally although I did have Phoebe with me so there was some of both.

Jason and I escaped to a wedding in California and we spent one day in San Jose at the Hilton (thanks HHonors points program) and then one day at the Corde Valle Resort in San Martin. Oh now that is some serious spoiling going on at that place. Once we got past the awkwardness of being waited on hand and foot it was so delightfully delicious I can’t wait to go back. Not only was the service divine but Phoebe slept for her first “full” night from 11PM to 6:30AM non stop. Angels singing, clouds parting!!! She then went back to sleep for another hour and awoke just in time for our breakfast for two served al fresco overlooking the golf course and the mountains, oh I want to go back now:)

We are back home, my folks are gone, and I am exhausted and a bit run down but I think we have a cold brewing here since Loo Loo has a fever today and Lela is out of sorts. Maybe some hot tea and a good nights rest will have us back in working order by the weekend.

The girls are learning all the important info they need like our full names, our address and our phone numbers. The other day each of the girls was going through what everyone’s full name was. Piper did hers, Lela did hers, then they did mine and Jason’s and finally Landis did hers.

She said my name is Landy Loo Loo Haslup.

Well Phoebe found her feet. You can now see her grabbing her toes and rolling from side to side. I am not sure she knows they are her feet but she does like them. She is really starting to like the baby in the mirror too.

We have been working on sitting but she doesn’t seem to have it down. She can roll from side to side and on to her tummy but the sit is still eluding her. In her defense she does not get much time to roll around on the floor and practice these things. With two active 5 year olds and an active 2.5 year old leaving a little baby on the floor doesn’t sound like the smartest parenting decision:)

I think we are going to introduce bananas tomorrow, she is sucking down that cereal like there is no tomorrow and doesn’t seem to have any of the texture issues that Landis had/has. Wahoo, food here we come:) This might be where the whole cloth diapering thing goes awry, depending on how the food comes out if you know what I’m saying.
