the maussketeers: We're alive!

We really are alive, despite what you may think from our lack of blog posts. I can't seem to stay on top of the blogging lately. Here's to another try at more regular postings. :)

Our Jack Attack (as Annabelle most often refers to her bro) is growing steadily and quite the easy going chap. He's usually pretty happy as long as someone is looking at him. He's a great eater and sleeper and is rolling around a lot these days and is taking a great interest in trying to sit up and is always reaching for things, such as food, earrings, clothes, toys, blankets, your face, and the list could go on. He is in the stage of wanting to explore and touch everything around him. Jack is just over 5 months old now and his hair is as red as ever. It is so fun to have a little redhead. His hair gets noticed by someone on most of our outings.

Here is our sweet Annabelle blowing bubbles. She is really into bubbles these days and especially loves blowing them herself. We've got plenty of space for bubble blowing in our yard and she takes full advantage of it. She love love loves her brother! She frequently tells Jack, "You are my best friend forever and ever." She loves wearing dresses over her outfits. I shouldn't say dresses because she loves one dress in particular and I will be sure to take a picture of her in it one of these days. Honestly, everyday she asks if she can wear her flower dress. She almost always has it on while we are at home. It's like a comfy pair of slippers you always want on... except it is a dress. We are letting her embrace her very feminine side. She also loves playing with K'nex and Duplo blocks, building towers and animals and the like. Belle also loves coloring and often asks us, "What do you want?" and then proceeds to draw what we ask. Well, sort of. She says it is what we wanted her to draw but mostly it looks like circles, lines or the letter V. :)
