amber necklace

I have heard great things about amber necklaces for teething babies. Ellery has had teeth since she was 4 months old. She constantly drools and has to wear a bib all the time to keep from getting soaked, one of her nick names is "soggy".
I have never before used an amber necklace and thought it might be worth a try. Although she is a wonderfully happy baby, she never sleeps more than two hours in a row and that includes at night. I am not one to let them cry it out, well not at seven months, and so in attempts to get more sleep, we found this beautiful necklace at Mooney's Baltic Amber. I think it looks beautiful on her, so even if it doesn't end up helping I will still be happy with the purchase. I think I'll ask for one for myself for Christmas.....may its me that needs it?

halloween

This year we did halloween a bit different. We don't do the trick or treating thing because getting candy you cant eat is never fun. In years past we have gone to the church's fall festival, but the big kids didn't want to go this year, so it was up to me to make a fun alternative and I think it was a hit!

 

Lynk is four!

Last week we celebrated a very special birthday! My smallest boy turned four.
He is my tractor/car/ anything with wheels loving boy, my easy smiling boy, my good sense of humor boy. He still gives me cuddles and is my "snuggy darlin'", although we keep this as a whispered secret between us. Your favorite colour is rainbow, your favorite stuffie is "super puppy".
Lynkin, at four you love people and your family most of all, you have a soft side and cry easily when things go wrong, you long to be like you big brother. You were a bit sad that you were only turning four, when what you really wanted, was to turn ten like him. Soon little man, all too soon. Don't be in such a big hurry to grow up....four is a really great age!
