So, I'm turning out to be a horrible blogger! Facebook has become my newest form of communication with friends and family, so I have been a bit more lax about posting on the Line...sorry about that! We are all doing just great! Grace is on the verge of crawling. She sits up really well and will pull herself around the room. She loves to get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth, but hasn't quite figured out how to coordinate moving forwards and backwards. However, if I leave her in a certain spot in the room and come back a minute later, she's usually on the other side of the room, so she's definitely getting around! She is sleeping 10-11 hours at night now which is wonderful, although naps have not been the best. Depending on the day, she probably averages one good 2 hour nap a day, which is rather frustrating. For example, this morning, I put her down for a nap and she cried for 45 minutes, so I finally just went and got her. She refuses to nap sometimes and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions are more than welcome! Adam has started doing a lot more talking and pretty much knows all the letters of the alphabet. He is still really small for his age, which is a concern of mine at times, especially since he's such a finicky eater. He does okay eating breakfast and lunch, but dinner is another story. I refuse to allow him to dictate what he will eat and when, meaning that if we are eating spaghetti and salad for dinner, that's what he has to eat, or he won't eat anything. I can't tell you how hard that is for me to do. Sometimes when he refuses to eat, I feel sooo horrible and want to go make him something I know he'll enjoy, but I will not go down that road, because it will just make things worse in the long run. Thankfully, Grace has been doing wonderfully with solids...we'll pray she stays like that! Okay, here are a few more recent photos:

I love it when her hair is wet and curly!
