Cell Phone Troubles

So, I was wondering if any of our readers has a spare AT&T compatible cell phone they are not using/don't need anymore? As many of you know, I have the worst-ever luck with cell phones. I've been through too many in the past few months (some my fault, some not :) Well, the latest one I've only had for a month and apparently the one second Journey had it in her mouth caused "water damage."

I know I need insurance but for now...I just need something so I can stay connected. So, if anyone has a spare that they don't need back please let me know! Thanks a bunch.

It's Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

I'm cruisin' the block looking for some ladies (or just sitting in the driveway).

I see you checking me out.

Um...are you a teenager?

More Randomness...

1. Could she have any more rolls on her arms? 2. Could her face squish up any more when she smiles?

Riding along in my automobile. When did she grow big enough for this?

Another day...another stand off. This would be dinner-time yesterday. We win some, we lose some. All in a day's work.

Had to put this bonnet on Journey before church on Sunday. She looked adorable of course but Auntie says these things look like she belongs on the show "17 Kids and Counting." Too funny.

Journey girl with her RTS counterpart "Henry" who was born just one day before her. Zach and Ellen are his parents and Zach is in the counseling program with Demetrius and Ellen teaches kids with Austism.

A Celebration of Love

Blake and Lindsay Broadhurst were married on Sunday. The ceremony was beautiful...as was the bride! Every detail was amazing. Congratulations!

Reception (without kids). Had a blast...

Our good friends from Troy, the Farmers. Good to see old friends~

Coolest, most unique cake and it tasted good too!

Journey was with me for the ceremony. She had a blast sucking on the outside of this lollypop. She didn't make a peep the whole time...what a sweetheart.

Best buds...

Updates....

As you can see HE IS EATING!!! These pictures were taken this morning at breakfast and no, that is not cake icing on his face. It is YOGURT. He's not eating a ton but he is sitting in a booster seat (without too much crying), feeding himself (sometimes) and has begun to at least take some bites. That my friends...is called progress. We are happy about it.

Another funny bath time, crazy hair picture. He is obsessed with bubbles right now and by "bubbles" I mean the white foamy lather stuff.

Journey is sitting up and playing like a big girl. I took these yesterday. She sat up by herself for about 15 minutes and played with this phone. She is so proud of herself these days. Is she adorable or what?

Six Month Stats

So, our little (or not so little) girl had her 6 month check-up on Friday. Besides the needles the visit went well. She is now ON THE GROWTH CHART! Prior to this appointment she was above the 100 percentiles for height and weight. Well, I am proud to announce that she is now in the 95th for weight (19lbs 3oz) and the 97th for height (27 3/4 inches). Of course she has been perfect to us all along. She is really wanting to crawl but for now she is scooting backwards and getting stuck under furniture...fun times.

Jayden has also gained some weight (from the 10th percentile to the 46th percentile) and we are hoping to make progress in the eating department with a new routine. For those who know us well you know this has been a struggle with him since 5mths old. So, keep ya posted on his progress over the next few weeks.

As for the rest of us, we are doing pretty well. We are certainly missing family and friends and we (as in demetrius) is full swing ahead with reading, clinic, tests, papers, etc. He is doing an amazing job balancing everything but he is really tired. We are nearing the end of the semester and I know he is thankful for the break before summer semester begins.

No Easy Way to Say It...

She had a Mullet...

I had to cut it!

Journey was six months old yesterday! She is trying to crawl, is sitting on her own and is wearing 12 mth clothing! She is still a joy....all smiles from this little one. She has blessed us in more ways than we can express. Happy 1/2 birthday sweet girl.

He always makes me laugh...

Yesterday Jayden brought me this "flower." This is his new favorite thing to do (daddy taught him how to pick flowers for mommy). Since there are no flowers to pick, he often brings me weeds. He points to the roots and says, "EWWWW. I love it!

Jayden's friend brought this little radio flyer tricycle over to our house a few days ago. Jayden loves it and I think it's pretty neat too.

Springtime...

The girls are now old enough to actually play outside with Jayden! Well, he plays and they eat grass and leaves.

This is Jocelyn...aka Joci. We affectionately call her the bucking bronco. She is a wild little thing and plows down everything in her way. Today is her birthday...Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Here is Gabrielle, who is ALWAYS called Gabbie at our house. She is a sensitive and affectionate girl. She's not quite sure about all this outside stuff but she's getting used to it. Happy Birthday Gabbie-girl!

Girlie Girl

We thought we'd try out a big-girl bow in Journey's hair. She didn't seem to mind and although I'm not a huge fan of big bows she did look slightly adorable.

Our brown-eyed girl

Food

She finished her first canister of rice cereal! Jayden never finished a single serving of rice cereal much less an entire thing of it! Our girl likes to eat...

After several days of cereal we decided to give Journey-girl a little prunes to help out in the digestion area. She liked those too! Next we will be trying sweet potatoes. LaJuan and I have made a deal...I do the baby laundry and she'll make Journey's baby food! She doesn't like to do laundry (which happens to be a load a day of baby stuff) and loved making the twins baby food. Now, I don't mind the laundry but know I probably wouldn't be great a putting forth the effort to make the food. Perfect solution for both of us!

Adapts to Change

Journey recently started rolling over from her stomach to her back. I dreaded the transition of "teaching" her to sleep on her back since she's been on her stomach since the beginning. Well, much to my surprise she didn't put up a fight at all! She is now officially a sleep sack wearing, thumb sucking, back sleeper. Oh, and she has now begun to roll from back to tummy.
