Jul. 28, 2006 - Blackberry Boy
We went blackberry picking this morning. The berries weren't quite ready to harvest, but we still managed to find almost two quarts. It would have been more if the Fava Bean hadn't eaten a TON! He now has several blackberry stains on various parts of his body, but we still managed to bring home enough to make a jar or two of blackberry jam.
We're finishing up week three of our school quarter. We're still three days behind, but no worries. After all, how can you get behind in preschool? Besides, we'll make it up next week and the week after. The older beans are doing well. Nothing new to report there. Fava Bean is still climbing everywhere, but he's been sleeping a lot lately. I'm loving it! He's sleeping 11 hours a night and taking a three hour nap! It's a far cry from the 8 hours at night and 1-2 hour nap schedule that we suffered through not too long ago.
The big news comes from Lima Bean. She is sitting up all by herself, completely unassisted. It's amazing. I don't think any of the others were able to sit up this well much before 8-9 months. Lima Bean's also working hard on crawling. She moves around very well, but she's not completely on hands and knees yet. She's also ready to stand up on her own. The most she's done so far is get up on her knees. I've got the camera ready, though. Hopefully I'll be able to post a picture of her first time standing!

You continue to amaze me. Sounds as if the kids are growing better then the weeds. huh? Can't believe the baby is sitting up already. But then she has to keep up with everyone else.
Love reading your postings. Hope you do get some time in for yourself somewhere during the day.
