Sunshine and Smiles

Snort snort giggle

I finally have been able to get Craig to giggle. Saiah and Jason have both been able to, and I finally found my own way of getting the little man to laugh. Yep..gotta love it!! Sorry it's sideways..but still just as cute!

Chunky Baby

It's official..Craig is off the charts for his weight!! At 10 weeks he weighed in at 16lbs and 7 oz, and lays 25 1/2 inch. His head though is quite normal, in the 50th percentile. I just love all his chunky goodness! His legs are so squishable and cheeks are irresistible!

Saiah's an Angel

Saiah is playing her first season of softball. Jason and I weren't too sure if she'd like it, as she's a mover. Playing on a team of 7 and 8 year-olds that have barely held a bat or ball isn't exactly heart pounding excitement. We had to chuckle at some practices because there would be Saiah...in the outfield, kicking dirt and weeds with her shoes, making circles and yes, one time...sitting down!!! I have to admit, those practices were a bit on the boring side, so I don't blame her. As soon as the real games started, she perked up a bit and has been a stellar ball player(hey, I'm her mom, I can gloat!). Saiah has a great swing and is able to connect pretty well with the ball. The coach switches the girls every time so they get to learn all the positions, but Saiah's favorite has been the pitcher position. She doesn't pitch at this age..but she gets to field the balls that come her way and she's not too shabby. It helps to keep her alert when she knows the ball is coming her way!

I'm thankful that she hasn't taken after me in throwing the bat. Yeah...I was a bat thrower. In fact, I gave a catcher on another team some stitches due to my heavy throwing abilities. She happened to be a friend, although...I can't remember if we remained friends post bat incident. Actually, Saiah seems to be inheriting most all of Jason's athletic abilities. I hear he was quite the ball player and to this day is good at sports, despite all the aches and pains that come with participating now.

We are staying busy with Saiah's games alone. Then you throw into the mix Jason's softball games for our church coed team and it seems like all we are doing these days is going to softball games! Fun times indeed!

This was her first hit of the season
