Family Catch-up

We are back online and it is great! I didn't realize how internet dependent we were until we didn't have it. Scary! It appears we have had a brief run in with the flu. Just Brigham and I have been sick so far. Needless to say we have catch up to do on multiple levels, especially laundry and groceries. So, in order to catch you up on some events, here is a brief summary:
Rebekah turned 2 months on February 12th. She is starting to sleep through the night, sleep in her bassinet at night, and nurse 3 1/2 to 4 hours more consistently. The progress is nice. I am feeling much more confident in traveling to Tennessee in March with her becoming more settled in sleeping and eating patterns. She has also started sucking her thumb. She will actually spit out her pacifier to get to her thumb. I do believe that finding her thumb has helped her stay content at night in her bassinet. It must comfort her enough to stay asleep in her bed rather than fuss to get in ours. Her most prominent features right now are her double chin, semi-mohawk, and her chubby cheeks!

Our Valentine's Day was very sweet. The children of course ate

too much chocolate! Brigham ate his the fastest of the three. He

would wait until I sat down to nurse

and then I would hear a bag

rustling. The next thing I knew, he had a mouth full of chocolate.

Susanna paced herself as did Wes. Jon and Wes surprised me with

breakfast in bed and a gift certificate for a Massage. I haven't

used it yet but am truly looking forward to it!!!
