here comes richard

richard's getting so big!! he's seven months and 18 pounds! he's also starting to do the gi joe crawl, where he drags himself by his arms. every so often, we'll catch him on hands and knees, rocking back and forth, so he's definitely trying to crawl. but, for now, the gi joe crawl's serving him well...it gets him to the toys!

he loves to eat books

made it to the playroom!!

sammy's trying to feed him peanut butter:) that didn't last long:)

playing with the house and the flushing potty

he found the toy cars!!

sourpuss sammy

sammy, like his daddy, has a thing for sour. he sucks mustard right out of the bottle. one day, he went to get the mustard and we were out, so sammy tried lemon juice. we kept telling him that it was going to be really sour, but he insisted and having a cup of lemon juice. the following pics are his reaction to the lemon juice. oh, and he hasn't learned his lesson. he still takes the lemon juice out and drinks it:)

taking a sip...

hahahahaha:) he wasn't sure what to think so he went back for seconds:)

haircuts

audrey and jack went for haircuts on saturday. jack doesn't like haircuts, so we were amazed when he sat very nicely and didn't scream at the hair stylist. kathy, the stylist, was very good with jack. she let him follow her around while she got everything ready and she talked him through every step. it also helped that jack had a toy- dental floss- that he played with while he was getting his haircut. jack liked to pull out all the floss and play with the box. luckily, it's a free sample from the dentist and a brand that we don't use:) audrey did wonderfully, too. her hairstylist was all smiles and kept telling me how pretty audrey was:) my kids are so cute!!!

i love the look on his face! he's not happy with me right now:)

doing better now that he has his "toy"

she's not sure about the lady- the stylist was really slow

she's making faces at jack- they were across from each other and could see each other in the mirrors

jack's the man!

two saturdays ago, jack had his first dentist visit. he was amazing!! he sat in the chair, opened his mouth, and let the hygenist count and check his teeth. this past saturday, he went back for his first cleaning and the dentist couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was being during the cleaning. the only time he moved was when the hygenist would stop to get something and jack woulds it up and ask what everything was:) we're so proud of our big man!

watching the hygenist and her bag of tools

with his balloon- the only reason why he wanted to go to the dentist:)

there's a tv on the ceiling and he's trying to watch caillou

our new choochoo train- richard loves it!

the ear is perfect as a chew toy

next year, we're only getting the kids stocking stuffers- it took them an hour to open their presents because they were so happy with their chocolates and flashlights. i'm grateful our kids aren't greedy and happy with the things they have. whenever we go into a toy store, they never ask for toys. they love to play with them, and they'll ask from time to time, but if we tell them no, they don't ever tantrum. it's a huge blessing to have kids who understand what gratitude is.
