Strange things are happening to me

My left elbow has been very sore lately. While going about my daily activities, I often experience numbness in my hand and tingling in my fingertips. I have a confirmed case of LBS, Lugging Baby Syndrome. Sometimes I get so used to carrying him around that I forget I'm even doing it. His increasing weight is doing a good job of reminding me!


Wouldn't it be great if it was cute for adults to be this chubby?

Taylor wanted this picture included because he took it of me getting Logan to smile.

The biggest smile came for Taylor though, and not for me. Logan really likes his siblings.



Yet another example of Jono wanting to decorate himself more than paper.


And here's one of Hannah stealing Mr. Potatohead's accessories.

Jane came to me this morning and told me that their nightlight was making weird noises last night and that Hannah put a pipe cleaner in it. I have no idea how we escaped without injured children or a burned-down house, but fortunately, the only casualty was the new night light. Pictures have not been included because of the disturbing imagery, but I will say that a very crisp pipe-cleaner was found wrapped around the prongs of the said night light.


Hannah did not deny the allegations against her, but ran and hid behind a chair when confronted about her part in the tragedy. Later, she pleaded cute and innocent.


Jane defended her sister bravely, suggesting an accomplice may have been involved as well. Further investigation will be completely neglected by their mother due to the fact that ignorance is bliss.


In other news, Taylor learned to sew at Grandma's house. (Not from his Mother, mind you, or this bean/bing bag would not be recognizable as such.)

He also authored a book as a gift to Janie. It is entitled "Littlest Pet Shop #5, The Battle of the Fallen Revenge." Above is an illustration.

Ummm... Hello? I am "this chubby" if not even more chubby. Thank you. Case closed.

I'm so glad your children and home escaped injury, so many close calls through out childhood. Now when will Taylor's book be published? I'm always looking for books that will appeal to both genders.

And very cute baby! How is it possible that he could change so quickly in such a short period of time?

Dang, he is getting chunky! (Logan, not Jef!) Why is it that babies smile at their siblings more than their moms? It must be because they know they have to be united in order to try and take over power of the household.
Glad to hear no one was injured in the night light incident!
