There is an update over at Momma Bean. The link is in my side bar.

Joe 2 months

This is Joe reading his book in the swing this morning.... after he slept for 7.5 hours!!!!

YAY FOR JOE!

So Joe has been what an aquantance of mine would call "A fussy four" Apparently as you get lower in the food chain you feel the need to be louder! He is getting better now and after a few nights getting used to sleeping alone (much to Dalen's delight) he slept through the night. Now I dont' want to get my hopes up. I do realize that many children will let you think that you're about to get copious amounts of sleep and then crush your dreams in their tiny little itty bitty baby hands. But still I'm feeling pretty awesome today!

He is getting to be a much less fussy baby. For the most part he will lay nicely on his blanket on the floor, unless he is gassy or sleepy. If he is either of these he needs to be snuggled very tighty against me with his blanket over him... but not around him... and then he needs his soother held in his mouth (Clefters can't keep a soother in their mouths) and then he squishes his face into my armpit... he likes to sleep on his tummy.

But those times are getting further apart and he's starting to get excited when he sees us. And yesterday when the very nice and kidn Mrs. Wiebe (no relation) was holding him and he somehow managed to pee all over her (boys) he was SO very pleased with himself!

I sure do like my baby...

And as a side note, I will be mostly posting over on Momma Bean as I prepare for the farmers market this next week.

Looking for kids ;)

So I have decided that I'm going to start doing in home child care again. I would like 1 or 2 children, preferably full time. I will be available Monday-Friday 8am - 5pm. If you know of anyone who is looking for child care please give them my info or give me theirs.

Thanks guys!
Edit- I'm also looking for a puppy, please let me know if you know of anyone who has some. I'm looking for a big dog. thanks

Baby Joe

For those of you who did not get a birth announcement. Here it is for your viewing pleasure! Thank you to Ruth for taking the picture and to Marlene for the use of her GIANT coffee cup !

Joe is now two months old and has finally stopped crying. I have no idea what he weighs because he is my fourth child and I know that he's getting bigger so it doesn't really matter to me what the number is ;) He's smiling all the time now and cooing lots! I love it. Okay so he didn't cry for the entire two months, but it sure felt like it.

Ephrim's Head

Well it's not a good pictures because Ephrim thinks that he needs to shake his head when I take a picture of him.

He looks SO much better today. You can hardly see it at all.

Other Blogs

Head on over to Momma Bean to see the newest completed product and over to Flab & Sag to see how much weight I gained this month ;) Links are in the side bar.

not so silent Monday?

Fell off a stool and hit the stairs on the way down... it was really sad.

Big thanks to Mrs.Wilson... and sick babies

So I have to say a big THANK YOU toMrs.Wilson For an awesome product review on her blog. Please head on over and give her some comment love ;)

Also Ephrim and Joe are sick with a flu/cold. I also feel as though I'm coming down with it. Ephrim puked in our bed this morning (amazing how it always has to be in the parent's bed) and Joe is not eating. Dalen just went to get him some Electolite drink stuff, hopefully he'll drink some of it until he's feeling better. I really don't want him to get dehydrated! So please pray for us here. Thank you and Blessings!

Don't drink the cool aid

Please click on the title and read this post over at "God Chose Me" then please watch the videos. We believers need to be "up in arms" about this.. Lets get praying people!

We're off

Bright and early tomorrow morning we will be off like a herd of Turtles. We're moving Starla and her family to Red Deer. Please pray for safe travel, and timely babies. Thanks!

Cut my hair.

So I did it, and I love it. Jess cut it for me and I love that she did it because she is THE BEST! She asked me tonnes of questions and I could just get her to change things as we went along. She did exactly what I wanted! YES! So here is a picture of the hair. Now I just need some help with the eye brows... oh well it'll have to wait. You know for a woman who got six straight hours of sleep I sure look tired...
