Fifty-Five and Point Five

A very happy birthday to Momo!  We all got in on the action of making the cake, complete with Nevaeh grabbing a fist full from the middle.  I remembered to take some pictures (a rarity these days) of the cake making, but forgot while the actual birthday boy was here! 

Finished product, you know you want a bite!  Happy Birthday, Momo!  We were happy to celebrate and spend time with you!

And a very happy six months to our youngest!  

 

 

 

Jack, your current milestones include:

• sitting independently for the first time today!! 
• two teeth, and more a'coming
• rolling from your tummy to your back in either direction
• rolling from your back to your side in either direction.  You haven't quite mastered getting to your tummy yet.
• bouncing up a storm in your bouncer
• you give sweet, sweet smiles and love it when anyone sings

 

 

And here's some prayer requests for you since I'm thinking it will be a few days before I blog again:

• Jack got his first cold while at our house.  His breathing sounds so miserable and he has a cough. 
• We've got well checks tomorrow for Jack and Nevaeh, which I'm sure will mean shots. 
• The honeymoon is over for Seth and Ollie.  Neither one's behavior has totally gone off the deep end, but you can tell they are getting tired of all this new.  I took Ollie out for breakfast on Saturday morning for a little one-on-one time and asked him what he thought about our new friends.  Basically he told me that it was just feeling like too much, but that he still really liked Jack and Nevaeh. 
• We are all still pretty tired, emotionally and physically.  We have put our three big kids to bed at 6:30 since we started foster care and everyone is still sleeping late and is drained by the afternoon.  Okay, that being said, I'm off to bed myself!!
