Our Kids

Well it looks like Phoebe might actually have 3 teeth by her first birthday! She is cutting her first top tooth and it has made her a super grump!

She isn’t resting well at night and so that makes her grumpier during the day. Mostly she can be soothed by carrying her around but she is huge and heavy. Landis was a real chubs but Phoebe is long and just heavy.

It is interesting the Phoebe is following so closely to the size and development of Lela to a T. I am wondering if they are going to look alike or have the same temperament too. It will be interesting to see. Already Lela seems to be taking a real liking to her mini me especially now that she is seeing the similarities that I see.

Lots of talk about promotions around here and what they are and who gets them and why. That is because Jason got a much deserved promotion! We are very excited for him, he is being recognized for all his hard work and we couldn’t be prouder.

On Friday we had a mini surprise celebration for him. We made banners, cooked him his favorite meal (pasta with shrimp, Caesar salad, french bread and Tunnel of Fudge cake). The girls got his coat for him, pulled out his chair at dinner, served him and made him special posters which we hung around the house. It was so cute to see them so proud of him even though they were still unsure what a promotion was and who gets one.
