praise: auburn seems to be getting better.
prayer: continue to pray for mom smith. monday will be the first "holiday" without dad; and being valentine's day probably won't make it any easier. auburn has had a cold for a week now, please pray that the rest of us don't come down with it.
playfulness: i guess i'll start with auburn. we learned a neat little trick last monday when i took auburn to the doctor for an "ear infection". doctor told me her ears look great and that it was probably her teeth that were causing her to pull on her ears. said the nerve to the teeth runs through the ears. she then proceeded to rub auburn's gums and sure enough, auburn started to tug on her ears. (her 3 teeth still have not come in).
auburn has developed a fascinating scoot. she puts one shoulder and her head to the ground, then digs her toes into the ground and pushes (with her bootie up in the air). today, she tried to pull herself on something for the first time. she got her hands up on top of a little chair and her torso off the ground, then started fussing because she couldn't get her feet under her.
right now, she is zonked on the living room floor. i heard her fussing while i was putting landon down for a nap, when i got out there to get her, she was just about out. i'll go put her in the crib after i finish blogging.
now, onto landon. this might be a little gross, but it was still funny. last night landon had a little accident in the bathtub. we got him out and got it out to put it in the toilet. as it was being flushed (which he gets very excited about doing) he exclaimed "it was a birdie!!" i didn't think it looked like a birdie, but....
twice in the past few weeks, grandma has taken landon down front in our auditorium at church to see grandpa practice his trumpet. landon has been talking about seeing grandpa play his trumpet all day today. i told him that maybe grandpa would let him play his trumpet when we go over to his house. his eyes got real wide, then a smile slowly crept acrossed his face. he then began to jump in circles and say "i'm gonna play his trumpet!" "grandma and jordan and jenna are gonna watch me!"
if you've read previous blogs, you know that landon loves "mary poppins". today, he was singing "just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." on the way up the stairs, he decided to make a minor adjustment-"just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go up, the medicine go up, the medicine go up!"
yesterday, landon and auburn had the opportunity (which they probably won't remember) to meet my "college mom", mrs. cook. her youngest daughter just moved to troy, and she was up visiting this week. she called me yesterday morning and asked if we could get together. it was very nice seeing her. it's been a few years since we had seen her.
