New Fun and advice

George had his Army Christmas party this weekend and Lilly had a BLAST! They had a blow up jumper for the little kids as well as a separate one for the big kids. Lilly was hesitant if any other kids older than her were in it, but if there were kids her own age, she was having a blast!


If older kids came in she would either tell them to get out (that was fun) or would just stand on the side until they got out.


Falling down was really fun in here too!!!


Daddy and his Grandpa made this fireplace surround a few weeks ago and George just finished staining and varnishing it this weekend. Doesn't it look great just in time for Christmas! Of course we had to have a fire Saturday night to celebrate:)
On another note...Lilly used to be the type that we could read stories, and lay her in bed and she would go right to sleep. Just starting Saturday she SCREAMS when we put her in bed, either for naps or bedtime..to the point of throwing up. I took her to the dr. this morning thinking maybe we were missing something and she is fine! Today for her nap as long as I was sitting next to her bed she was fine and eventually fell asleep this way (we're trying to not give in and hold her).We're not sure if she is sensing baby coming or something else, but we are VERY sleep deprived. Any suggestions?!?!?!?!?!?

We had trouble with Steven for about a week and a half. He would either be screaming when we put him down or he would wake up screaming in the night. He wouldn't go back to sleep unless Mark were laying down with him (Steven laying on Mark's chest).

He slept through the night the last two nights, so I'm hopeful that he'll go back to normal.

We were thinking the same thing about sensing the new baby coming. To say it's been stressful around here is a bit of an understatement :)

When we moved Luke into his new bed (which I know Lily has been for a bit) he would not sleep unless some one was in a chair by his bed. We only had to do it for about 1 week (at max I would say). It could be the sensing thing, but AnnaJoy didn't do that and neither did Jake, so I don't know! Good luck!

That fire place surround is fantastic. Really very beautiful... George never ceases to amaze.

And my goodness, I have no advice for Lillys sudden disdain for beds. She's just really trying to help by preparing you a few months early for the sleepless nights to come. So you should be thanking her, right?
