Don't you just love when you start to clean, and you say "Oh, that chair would look better here..." and that leads to "Well, that desk could go there..." and that eventually leads to "Oh, man, this is a bigger mess now than it was when I started..." Well, that is my house right now. I'm trying to be the great, organized mom that I know I'm not. In reality, we use the living room floor instead of the changing table. We have fast food cups on the coffee table where we had our Sonic for supper, and the kitchen table has a computer, school papers, and all sorts of other things on it. The most organized things in here are the basket of baby toys, the computer desk I moved into here yesterday, and the bookshelf I finally organized. :)
Well Spring break has been good to us so far. My dad came by today and told Amberleigh he was going to Reeves Peach Farm to go get some strawberries. She was disappointed when she found out that she wasn't actually going to carry a basket and pick the strawberries. But it made her feel better when she got to eat yummy strawberries all day. Asher enjoyed waking up this morning and sister being home. He was SO excited when she woke up and walked into the living room. Hopefully it will warm up some before Spring break is over so we can take advantage of the 'break' part. Maybe actually learn to ride that bicycle...
On another note.. Have I mentioned yet that my kids are amazing? Asher is finally at a stage where he sits by himself and plays for longer periods of time. As Amberleigh was watching t.v. in the floor today, I sat him down by her. He sat there for a good 20 minutes without making much noise at all. What kept him entertained, you ask? A plastic chew ring, a clothes hanger, a medicine bottle with rocks in it, a toothbrush that was still in the pack, and a box of baby wipes. When he would throw them all out of his reach, Sister would slide them all back over to him & continue watching t.v., not paying him much mind. Every once in a while, he would hit her with something, or reach over and pull her hair. What does she do? Laughs, calls him silly, and doesn't complain one bit. She's just about the best big sister he could've asked for. She wants nothing more than to see him smile & learn new things.
By the way, Asher learned to clap! Yay! AND he has officially waved 'bye-bye' 3 times :) Super excited! And at the rate he's going, it won't be long AT ALL until everything needs to be at least 3 feet off the ground (yea, right). He can scoot some, and turn in a circle on his belly, and already everything he can reach ends up in the floor. 6 months old and I already have to keep such a sharp eye on him. I can no longer put him down on a blanket and be sure that he's going to stay there and only play with what I hand him. My baby man is growing up so fast in front of my eyes, it is amazing. When someone finds that pause button, PLEASE clue me in!
A couple photos from this week!
She got to wear her new dress Sunday that her Nana got her :) Gorgeous, if I do say so myself!
This is how his sister dresses him! Sooo cool :)
