These are to hang on the wall in Rowan's room, and they match his room theme. I painted them all by hand! I did look at someone else's painted letters online to get an idea of what patterns to use, but I drew and painted them all myself. Now I have the motivation to get his room put together :)
Rowan started sucking his thumb. We'll see if it sticks, because Ellie sucked her thumb for a couple of weeks, but then dropped it. However, Ellie used pacifiers and Rowan doesn't. So, we'll see. He is still sleeping well. He usually sleeps about a 10 hour stretch, eats, and then sleeps for a couple more hours. A couple nights ago he slept for 12 hours straight! I swear this boy is turning out to be just like Bryson (sleeps well, super-mellow, sucks his thumb). Maybe Tara's baby girl will be just like Ellie.
Ellie is so stinkin' smart. The things she says just amaze me. Yesterday she was saying "juice, juice" over and over. Then she came up to me and says "Juice starts with J." We work with her on what sounds letters make and how words are spelled, but we never told her that one, she figured it out on her own. She'll be reading before she's 3; I just know it! The thing is, learning is fun for her. Oh, she's also very tricky. This is a conversation we had recently:
Ellie: I'm going to have trail mix when we get home
Me: Ooh, that sounds yummy
Ellie: I will share with you mommy
Me: Thanks Ellie! Will you give me a white chocolate chip?
Ellie: I won't. But you can have a raisin!
Me: Gee, thanks Ellie.
Ellie: Mommy, I will give you TWO raisins!
She's so nice to share the healthy part and keep the yummy part to herself.

Sure do love that little girl! She's a smart one! Aren't you happy that you have such a content little boy? I'm sure happy for you. Until he starts to get around anyway...then watch out!
Love you....

Gee I wish Anthony would sleep 12 hours LOL He's sleeping 4-4 1/2 hour intervals during the night. But I think since technically he wasn't suppose to be born till Sep. 3rd he's acting like a newborn in some ways.

That's so cute. I'm glad you are having a good time. I sent you the jacket on Tuesday. I hope it gets to you. Have a great day!
Wow! I'm so glad he's turning out like Bryson! But, I also agree with Mom on the fact that if he's like Bryson, watch out when he starts walking and climbing! Today for example, Bryson has a bruise on his cheek, a bruise on his forehead, and a fat lip. They're from 3 separate incidents. He climbs off the arm of the couch, runs and trips over things, etc. As I type, he's getting on the ottoman, climbing/jumping to the couch, getting down, and starting again! Ellie is so funny! We can't wait to see her again (and Rowan, Jason, & you). If my little girl is like Ellie, just remember: At least you had the wild child as your first. You didn't have another child to take care of!

Oh Yeah! I like Rowan's name you painted. I told Zane we need to pick a name so we can make our wood letters to hang in the room and a toybox like Bryson's. He said our little girl doesn't need a pink replica of everything Bryson has, but I think she does!
How fun! I LOVE the letters! I might have to copy you and make Andrea some of those now that we know she's having a boy!!!
I LOVE your letters. I am so happy you are enjoying crafting. I wish you would have come over one day to look over the felt fabric, beads and sequins I was getting rid of. I think you would have enjoyed them.
Ellie and Rowan are delightful. Has Ellie started on the computer yet?

HI KIRSTEN! That video you posted is absolutely amazing. It made me get all teary too. Very powerful imagery!
The letters you made are very cute!
Jordan got glasses this week. He looks so much older with them on! Children grow up WAY TOO FAST!
I hope you are all doing well. We can not wait to see you!!!
Love,
Paul, Sharon, And Jordan!
