A miracle

Today I decided to download the pictures from Christmas and do a blog post; in the process I noticed that there were more then 600 pictures on my camera. As I inspected them I realized they were the pictures I lost with the computer crash. Not all of them mind you because I have 2 cameras but a good chunk including Alexis's birthday and my sister in law's visits. So yeah!!!! I am not erasing my card until I have the pictures safely stored online and on cd. So I think in honor of this I will post some of them.

Megan update She started saying dadadada Yesterday. It is so cute. She says it to all of us, but of course Daddy is extra excited. She also started clapping her hands today. I love seeing her learn these firsts! She still hates being on her tummy. I was able to get her on her hands and knees and show her rocking and she tolerated it. But she is a pro at sitting up and can catch herself before falling and she isn't falling quite so hard now when she does go down. She also leans all the way forward to get things and can right herself. She still prefers to only nurse. I can get her to eat a few bites of anything before she refuses to open her mouth. Her 2 bottom teeth are so close to popping out and she gets real grumpy about it. Poor baby girl. She loves hair...pulling it that is. She is the cutest mushy squishy 7 month old I know weighing in at 18 pounds!

Alexis is doing really good in school. She can write her name for the most part. She still has a hard time with the x's and will claim she doesn't know how. She thinks they look too much like little t's. We have fun finding letters at the stores and places we go. She likes to tell me Megan's needs, they already read each others thoughts I guess. She is very much into princesses and being fabulous and fancy. She loves to cook dinner with me. She has really grown so much since school started and is such a joy in our life. She can't wait to be 8 to get baptized and asks me everyday if she is 8 yet. I tell her she is 4 and she says that she is big and is a CTR 4 now. Apparently that is the coolest thing ever because she tells us everyday! She is doing pretty good with me in primary. She gets up and comes to me only a few times now and only if I am in front. She is so funny in Primary, she answer every question with the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ and a few other's. I guess she figures she is sure to get it right some of the time.

Being a mom is the best and even on tough days it still beats working with adults, their hugs are not nearly as great(kind of creepy if they hugged) oh and according to Alexis I am the best mom ever...sorry everyone I claim it(at least in this house!)
