Kid Update

Well, I will get pics on as soon as I take them but the two kids are going to be pirates. They both got in their costumes yesterday for a spur of the moment idea of mine to have all the other neighbor kids come over and their parents. I had about a half hour to get ready and get the kids ready. We had a lot of fun. The kids made egg carton spiders, spiderwebs, and decorated cupcakes. We also went ahead and did dinner for everyone. Tomato alfredo spaghetti. Yummy!
Berk cut her two bottom teeth. She snorts when she wants something you have and isn't getting it. She also scrunches up her whole face into a smile when daddy gets home from work. She tries lettiong go of things she is standing up to occasionally. Jack is loving preschool. He recognizes quite a few of his letters and some numbers. He reads to Colby and I at night. He has this Cars book memorized and reads it to us everynight. He also loves his daddy time. He and Colby usually wrestle or run around the house after dinner and the other night Colby wasn't home and around that same time as usual Jack started going nuts. You could almost see a look in his eye like if he didn't get some energy out he was going to start using Berk as a wrestler. Needless to say, mommy and Jack wrestled and played. He is one tough kid. Seriously another year or two and he really could beat me I wouldn't have to pretend. He has started liking playing board games. He also remembers everything you tell him you'll do and repeats everything he hears. The other day he said "Holy Fetch" Colby and I don't say that so it must have been uncles he heard that from anyways, I laughed. Oh yeah the other day I finished getting ready and I had gotten in some nicer clothes than usual. He said "cute girl" I said what and he said "you're a cute girl" I thought it was pretty cute.
Things are great. I love being a sahm and wouldn't change it.

Thank You

Ok, so I really appreciate all the comments. I am up for any ideas just about anyways. The doctor said ger tonsils were a little big and red but it was fine as long as she wasn't running a fever. We've tried the teething orajel and tylenol. The other thing I thought of is that around the days she woke up we had fed her the baby food meats. The nurse I talked to said that her body may not be ready to digest that stuff yet. The other thing is that when I feed her she calms down but I don't want to be feeding her if she thinks she has to just to be comforted. I also don't want to starve her if she really is hungry. I thought about the night terrors but I have no way to know. Is there anything specific to watch for with those? And, is it normal for a kid around 7-8 mos to go through a growth spurt where they are hungry and need to eat in the middle of the night? Anyways, she slept good last night and her and Jackson have done very well during conference. Jackson was even so cute playing basketball with all of us and the Sharpe boys in between sessions. He would get down in his stance and side step and reach in and stay with his knees bent and arms out, so dang cute. They are great blessings in our lives.

Suggestions

Any suggestions or help about Berklee all of the sudden waking up in the middle of the night screaming and inconsolable please comment.

Also, suggestions on discipline that works and they learn from let me know. We do timeout but he just keeps doing some of the same things.
