4 children: week two

All the girls still adore little Will. Samantha will say, "Mommy, my lap."
There are definitely some crazy times in the house now that I'm alone during the day. There is nothing like breastfeeding to keep a mom in her chair and unable to intervene. Here's some good fun Samantha cooked up. She has a baby t-shirt on her head and was alternately climbing on the tiger (still, "My roar") jumping to the couch and then jumping from the couch onto the tiger. Oh my, Will has a great playmate waiting for him to get bigger.



Here are some of the goings-on in our house this week:

Will got his thumb in his mouth twice! He loves his paci, too!

Anna Kate lost her first tooth on Monday! She was eating an apple and came into the room I was in and asked, "Mom, is this a piece of apple or my tooth?" She was delighted that the tooth fairy indeed did visit Monday night!

We have had some nice days, and, as a result, have been able to easily venture outside to play! My children are proving themselves to be true northeasterners, as they shed jackets and mittens on Monday, complaining, "I'm too hot!" It was only 40.

Here's the proof:

Look how cute he is with his hands folded. He loves his hands! Holding them together, touching anything nearby, trying to get them in his mouth . . . .
