Well, since I haven’t written in who knows how long….I thought it was about time I write about some of the latest achievements around here!

As of today (7/25) Bensen figured out how to climb out of his crib using the basket on his dresser.  OYY!  So now to decide if I make him stay in the crib or switch to toddler bed, but still teach him to stay there untill Mommy says he can come out.  My only concern with switching to toddler bed is that he will fall out of it because of how much he flops and rolls in his sleep. I just don’t want an accident like I had when I fell out of my bed as a child.  Still, he has to learn to stay where he needs to stay until it’s time to get up, with or without rails!

And while we are on the subject of climbing, today Jenavieve also climbed up onto our little kids sofa!  She has standing there pulling herself up onto it.  First of all, she’s never made herself stand up by pulling herself up before, (she’s just barely crawling) but really, she got herself up on it!  My crazy climbing kids!

Another new milestone for Jenavieve is the fact that last week she decided, I’m going to eat cereal!  That’s right, after weeks and weeks of giving her a few bites and her freaking out about it like she was being fed poison, she is NOW eating it!  She opens her mouth as soon as the spoon is near and she chomps her cute little lips down on it and eats up an entire bowl of rice and pears!  It’s so cute!  She’s so good about it too!  And really started at the perfect time.  She took cereal in place of milk at the time of Erin’s wedding and didn’t make a peep about it!  That totally helped me out since I was so busy and Sean could just feed her.

While I’m talking about it, Erin’s wedding was awesome and I am so glad it’s over!  I did a lot of stuff for that wedding, which was awesome because it gave me so many ideas of things I can put into Above Rubies Studio!  Here’s a list

• Favors
• Place Setting Cards
• Table Numbers
• Just Married Signs/Saying Signs
• Glass etched vases
• Center pieces
• Seating Charts
• Slide Shows
• Much much more! So cool!

Above Rubies is awesome, I am so happy to be working on it like I have been.  I recently entered a contest and as of today am in the lead by over double of the second place person.  The contest ends today, so we’ll see if anything changes in that time!  I’m so excited about it!!!

Well, I guess that’s all for now.

It’s so hard to keep up sometimes.  There is amazing things that God is blessing me with everyday!  These babies are so beautiful, healthy and growing up too fast.  (almost makes me want another one soon!…I did say ALMOST)

I love the sweetness of this Saturday Morning.  Jenavieve it watching a tv show so intently while holding her little doll, even a little giggle comes out once in a while.  Bensen wasn’t ready to get up yet, even though he climbed out of bed, he went back to it and I am on the sofa, drinking a lovely Dunkin Donuts coffee that my wonderful husband brought for me!

Ahh… My life is SO good and SOOO blessed!

Praise God for ALL you do for us!
