Catch Up

Tom was out of town this last week and he took the computer with him, so I haven't blogged for a while. That is just one excuse, the other was that I was totally enthralled with the book that Rivka mentioned to me. I finished the entire trilogy in 5 days. It was fantastic.

So Whitney has been wanting her Lewis Grandma to come to visit her. It just so happened that she was here visiting this last week. For the last few weeks Whitney has missed her Lewis Grandma. Grandma asked her if she wanted to call her Grandma Kristy, like the other grandkids. Her response was a simple no, she much prefers to call her Lewis Grandma. This week they made cookies and played princess games and had a fun time coloring and playing. According to Whitney the big mess was Lewis Grandma's fault. Too bad for her that I was here to entire time and watched her make it herself!

Whitney is sitting on my lap and wants to write her name: cWhitney.

So everyone knows Whitney's favorite letter is C. She keeps telling me that she starts with C. Apparently it is a silent one.

Last night we went out to dinner. Whitney kept looking at the girl in the booth behind us. Tom told her to stop pointing and to turn around. She said, "Dad, that girl looks like me." Tom glanced back at her and she had dark hair and very light skin. Tom asked Whitney how she looked like her and she said , "because she is pretty, just like me". She wanted Tom to tell the girl that she was pretty, but we figured it would be better coming from me. I do think we made that woman's day, everyone knows kids don't lie!

Ryan has been getting cuter and cuter every day. I am not quite sure how this is possible but it keeps happening. We found this shirt at the store and had to get it. I thought it was so clever. He has been spending the day with his dad. I think he missed him while he was gone. He seems perfectly content to sit by him all day. Tom doesn't seem to mind either.

Whitney and I spent some time trying to show him how to crawl. He just stared at us like we were crazy. He is a master at sitting up now (except for the occasional face plant into the floor). Whitney is certain he will be happier once he starts crawling. I don't think she will be because she will have to be more careful with all of her little toys.
