8months

I started a post yesterday talking about all this month's accomplishments, but it disappeared before I could finish it up and post it.

my dear sweet Nani Girl,

You're getting so big, Hanners! You are fully into 6-9 months clothes, and finally getting to wear all your cute little summer outfits and dresses.

This month (actually all within a few days of each other) you learned how to crawl, pull yourself up on things, and creep on the furniture. You would probably be good at stairs too, if we had any in our house.

You still only have your two bottom teeth, but you shows those off when you smile ALL THE TIME. Your hair is getting thick in the back, I'm hoping the top catches up soon.

Now that you're mobile Liam is loving playing with you even more and you love most of the attention, although you're still not sure about the strangling hugs he tries to give you.

You have mastered Sippy cups, and love getting drinks, especially if Liam is having one.

You're constantly trying to grab all the electronics, and everything else you can't have, this being mobile business definitely keeps me on my toes, but I love watching you grow so much!

Love, Mama and Daddy

7 months

Happy 7 months, my sweet Nani girl <3 just a picture update since I just posted one 2 days ago.

Sorry it's been so long

I haven't blogged in a few months, and I feel bad about it. I did so good with monthly updates when Liam was a baby, but when my phone started getting slow, I deleted the blogger app and stopped writing. =\
Hanners is almost 7 months old. She is super close to crawling and has the backwards scoot down like a pro. She loves eating anything I offer her, so glad I chose baby led weaning again. She's wearing 6-9months clothes. Loves crinkly noise. Loves her daddy and any attention she gets. She's my little joy girl. {cool to think about the fact that we picked her name while I was pregnant with Liam, and it fits her so well.}
Liam [21 months] is constantly learning. He loves Thomas, Umi's (Team Umi Zoomi), Aman (Spiderman), puppies, mew mews (cats), Aunt Pop (my sister), Weetie (sweet tea), cars, Sushi (Yoshi), Ma-I-o (Mario), and pickles. He likes cuddles, kissing Hanners, playing cars, coloring, and playing catch.
Nate's birthday was last week, I keep thinking he's 25, lol.
We got to go see my parents last week, and my in-laws drove down to see us too. Now they've all met Baby Girl. It was a good trip, but definitely still recovering from it all (including colds).

Writing Prompt #5

What kind of work did your parents do (farm, salesman, manager, seamstress, nurse, stay at home mom, professional/laborer, etc.)

My mom has been a stay at home mom, for as long as I can remember. She has worked on the side, cleaning jobs, ect. But her main focus has always been homeschooling us kids, and taking care of the home.
My dad has had many different jobs, the last one before our family went into full time missions when I was 10 was working at a door company.
My parents are currently working with/at the Orphan Justice Center in Kansas City, Missouri. 

Writing Prompt #4

Tell me about your mother (hers name, birth date, birthplace, parents, etc.) Can you share some memories you have of your mother?

My mother's name is Jayme Lea (Jenner) Osborn. She was born on March 25th in California. Her parents were James Lowell Jenner, who died when I was 14, and Marlene May (Wrege) Jenner, who is 80 and still alive and kicking.

I have fond memories of rubbing her back and playing with her hair while she read to me before bed. We read all sorts of stuff but the last ones I remember was "All Things Bright and Beautiful" by James Harriet.
My mother is an excellent cook, out of all the things she has made, I can honestly say I only didn't care for three of them. She didn't always want to share her kitchen, but when she opened it up and let me in, chopping, stirring, and even sometimes cooking a whole meal, it opened up a chance to talk, and learn. In this day and age knowledge of what spices and seasonings are good, strong, what compliments each other is rare and I'm thankful my mother passed it down to me.
She also is a great example of someone who protects the spiritual atmosphere of the home, always playing worship music, not allowing most movies or secular music.
She's a great mom and I love her.

Writing Prompt #3

Tell me about your father (his name, birth date, birthplace, parents, etc.) Can you share some memories you have of your father?
My dad's name is Timothy Jon Osborn. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on September 27th, 1963. (He just turned 50 this past year). His dad was a preacher, and his mom was a teacher, they both passed away when I was little (try less than 6), but they both loved the Lord and are two of the nicest people I have ever met.
The majority of my memories with my dad are of him tutoring me in math. He is very brilliant, and good with math, computers, and has helped many children understand complex things like polynomials, and how to solve for X.
He has a plethora of corny dad jokes, and enjoys a good pun. We share the same type of humor, which often leaves my mom shaking her head in disapproval.
He's skinny as a rail, and has had a mustache for as long as I can remember. He wears glasses and is fairly bald now, although as a teacher he rocked a bowl cut. XD.

Wordless Wednesday

{It's spring, yea? }
