Lindsey's first cereal

Lindsey had her first rice cereal last night and she did very well. Don't get me wrong, it was a mess, but not as messy as expected. I think we were expecting the worst since Whitney was such a bear to spoon feed. She's growing up...can't believe how fast it is going for the both of them...

Jump, jump, jumperoo!

The jumperoo is back in full force! Although, at the present time Lindsey isn't quite the maniac that Whitney was in it, but that's ok, that seems to be consistent on many different levels with the two of them. She seems to like it (enough to fall asleep in it) and is getting better at it as time goes on. Whitney, of course, wants to get in it as well...wonder if she remembers how much she loved it?

My Other Girls...

So last Thursday we had a much needed girls night out! Dinner at Mimi's (with some awesome chocolate mousse I might add) then off to see Julie and Julia. Thanks to Mandy's husband, Chad for suggesting that we go see this movie while Ben was in camp. Could it be that he didn't really want to see this movie? Hmm...We all loved the movie, though I must say, even though my husband does enjoy a good chick flick every now and then, I don't think this would've been on his top ten (or 100 for that matter). I, on the other hand, could've seen just about any movie and ate anywhere for a night out! Thanks to all of my awesome friends for hanging out. When is the next one again?!

While Daddy's Away...

the girls will play! Kind of...really we're just trying to survive. Ben left about a week ago to start his 6th year of training camp. I really can't believe he's been at it that long, although I'm sure his body would say differently. :) The girls and I have been trying to stay as busy as possible and our friends have been so great to keep up busy. So far we've gone to practice a couple times, been to dinner at friends houses, played in the fountains, had a short, but sweet visit from Grammy and Grandpa Hartsock and got a haircut. All this in addition to just hanging out at home some which is always good. Ben's been able to be home a couple of nights and we only have a couple more weeks to go. Yahoo!

Can't take her eyes off the TV...the power it has!
Sisterly love!

She really does like this...

4 Months and Rollin'...Literally!

Lindsey Kate is just a few days short of 4 months. What a huge difference a month makes! She has just seemed to come to life in the last month and really in the last couple of days. It's funny how much they change just overnight. She has been rolling from belly to back for a couple weeks, but just yesterday she rolled from back to belly and she is loving it! But now it seems as though she has forgotten how to roll back onto her back. She'll just lay on her belly until she gets so tired and fussy that we have to go over and help her out. She has also found her feet and really enjoys getting them into her mouth! Fists in the mouth have become lots of fun too! I think she wants that thumb, but I am trying to prevent that. She seems to be pretty laid back the older she gets. I get the feeling that she isn't going to be as active as her big sister. She seems to really be a people person, she really likes it when people are around and not so much when people aren't around. She's very, very smiley and is trying to laugh. My favorite time of day is when I go into to get her in the morning or after nap because she is just so darn excited to see me. She just smiles and talks...it's truly the best!

Pigtails and a Mask

No, we haven't gone wacky and started putting masks on our children (a la the late Michael Jackson). This is just a fun mask Whitney made at Vacation Bible School this week. My friend Mandy and I worked in the snack world at VBS all week (we were totally snack Nazis), so Whitney and Lindsey got to go too and do lots of fun stuff. Maybe not Lindsey so much, but Whitney got to do crafts, music, jumpy castles...lots of fun for her! Anyway, Whitney's hair is just barely long enough now that we can get some pigtails or a ponytail on her head. Ben absolutely loves it so I try to do it for him. Whitney actually does pretty well with it considering I've never had to mess with her hair and she's never had anything in her hair. Such a silly girl!
