Yum!

I’ve been busy!  Applesauce, blackberry applesauce, apple butter, and strawberry jam.

Strawberry Picking

I have been wanting to go strawberry picking because I am almost out of my jam and needed to make more.  We headed out to the valley and boy, was it a HOT day!  We had a great time!  After about 20 minutes of picking, Erinne looked in Ben’s basket and asked him where all his berries were.  He said “in my belly”.

Regan – 3 Months Old!

Regan is 3 months old today!  Time really needs to slow down! Here is what’s new with her.

• Her eyes are still blue
• She is getting really strong and enjoys sitting up in someone’s lap or in the Bumbo. 
• She loves watching what is going on around her.
• She knows my voice and will turn her head to find me when she hears me.
• She has the biggest smile and gets so excited that she wiggles
• She only cries when she is hungry, tired, needs burped or changed.
• She is a great eater and still nursing 100%.
• She isn’t sleeping very well.  She sill wakes up every 3 hours to eat.  She likes to take cat naps during the day.  Every once in awhile she will give me a 4 hour stretch.  She can’t be awake for more than 2 hours before she wants to sleep again.  She sleeps best when she is being held or cuddling.
• She has found her voice and enjoying making all kinds of new sounds.
• She has also found her hands and likes putting them together and in her mouth.  She is starting to grab things.
• To let us know she is ready to sleep, her eyes get red.  She also yawns and rubs her eyes.
• Her hair is still falling out.
• She drools a lot and blows spit bubbles.
• Just like her brother and sister, she likes to bury her head to sleep.

Toledo Summer Festival

We went to the summer festival this past weekend.  The kids had a great time.  It was a HOT day!  I must say there wasn’t as much to do this year for the little kids but they still had fun.
