Almost back to normal

Anyone close to us knows that we've been dealing a lot with Lia's "adjustment period". Last summer her world changed. She went from being the baby of the family, to having a new baby brother. A month and a half later her big sister, and favorite play-mate, went off to kindergarten leaving her to fend for herself 5 days out of the week. A month after that her Mom went back to work. To put it lightly, she's had a rough time adjusting to her new role as a middle child. Her behavior was so extreme that we had blood tests done, researched a LOT online, went to a few visits with a psychologist, logged her habits for about a month, and even tried out a preschool for a short time. I think she's slowly coming around...

Doing the dishes for Mommy one morning


It's not a smudge on your screen - she has blueberry muffin on her face.


And Joey is finally sitting up - now that he's a whopping 7 (almost 8) months old! PS - we all went to the dr in the past couple of weeks and even though he wasn't 20 lbs at 6 months like we had thought he might be, he is now 21 lbs and 1.5 oz. This boy is HUGE compared to my dainty little girls.


I can hardly get a picture of him with a smile, so even though it's out of focus, I'm including this one.





(PS - Lindsey, this reminds me so much of Kinsley!)
