Catching Up With The Popes

I read a quote about not remembering how clean your house was, but rather remembering the time you spent with your children.  Can I use that as my reasoning for not getting on here to post pictures?  I know it doesn't take that much time, but honestly, when I have a few minutes at the end of the day, I'd rather sleep.  It's still so rare around here.

Alana is now 7 months old and is getting more and more mobile.  She's been army crawling (FAST) for almost 2 months now and is just getting up on her knees to cruise.  She's pulling herself to a high kneel and manages to find everything on my floor to eat (even if I just finished sweeping and mopping).  She's still nursing but is eating solids at least 3 times per day.  Favorites are sweet potatoes, avocados, prunes, bananas, carrots, apples, and pears.  She is STILL not sleeping through the night waking at least once if not twice per night.  I'm tired, but it's become my new norm :)

Quinn is so stinkin' smart and fun.  He LOVES rhyming words, opposites, and patterns.  He enjoys anything that is active and crazy -- dancing, running, sledding, jumping off the couch, etc.  He keeps me laughing all the time. He is way too smart for his own good and like me when I was little, is like a cruise director telling everyone what is going on and what to expect next.

Attaching a few pictures to update everyone.  ENJOY!
