Standing?

This video has a lot of Bethany and Jonas in it, but you have to pay special attention to Rebekah. She is trying to stand on her own!

Sleeping Sisters

Super Aunt Sarah got both girls to go to sleep without having any beds for them to sleep in! Matt was sick today so was sleeping in his bed, and Jonas was sleeping in Bethany's bed. I had Bethany lay down on the couch with no expectations of her falling asleep, but she did! Aren't they cute?

Quote of the Day

Me: What do you think I should do?
Bethany: Go to the doctor.
Me: What will the doctor say?
Bethany: "Hello!"

Quote of the Day

Bethany (to Rebekah): You're best my friend!

A couple of questions later, Bethany's dense parents realized she was calling Bekah her best friend!

Babies Everywhere!

All of the Roberts crew came over for Lisa's birthday over the weekend, and brought babies! We had a tun of fun playing with everyone. There's nothing like a house with 6 babies 2 and under!

Sand!

Bethany and Bekah went to the "beach" at the Eastern Hills mall over the weekend. They had so much fun playing in the sand!

Quote of the Day

Bethany (to Rebekah): Move over, Big Butt.
Grandma S.: What is she saying that sounds like big butt?
Mommy: um, she's saying "big butt."

Bethany (after coloring Mommy a present): I want to make my present!

Quote of the Day

Bethany (to Mommy, during dinner): Good job using your fork, Mommy!

Power-nap

Earlier this afternoon, I put Bekah on the floor to finish her bottle, and she promptly fell asleep thusly:

It wasn't long until she startled herself awake, only to fall asleep again almost immediately:

She woke up 15 minutes later, ready to face the world; I'll wager it was her first power-nap!

Big Grins

Rebekah has the cutest smile ever! I love when she notices me across the room and lights up. Kind of like this.

Dominoes

Bethany built domino towers yesterday, which she referred to as "books" for some strange reason. She even asked her dad to read them!

Quote of the Day

Daddy (referring to a story in Bethany's picture Bible): How do you make God happy?
Bethany: Kiss Him.
Daddy: What else?
Bethany: Be nice.

Bethany (to G.Miriam over the phone, on Saturday): Mmmah, I want to give you a hug!

Bethany (about my unfinished puzzle): Mickey's face is broken!

Great Grandma's

Rebekah and Bethany got to spend the evening at Great Grandma's last week. They had tons of fun!

Walking!! Kind Of

My little drool monster is walking! Well, not really. She grabs onto the nearest chair and pushes it along so she can walk. I guess cruising just isn't good enough. It won't be long now until she goes solo!

Quote of the Day

Here's a Bethany story for you (in her own words).

Shadow at Mike's house. Doggie live inside. Doggie go poop outside in a grass. Mike clean up poop. Mike use a vacuum.

Quote of the Day

Bethany (to her daddy, who is playing the piano): Daddy, it's so loud in here!

My daughter, the hippie

And my nephew Jonas, a boy who smiles so hard, it hurts!

Pianissimo

Bekah loves the piano...

... so much, in fact, she usually can't wait to get back to it!
