Our family is still doing what we normally do: hanging out, having fun, cleaning up lots of messes. Nothing big has happened yet (still job searching, still praying) but I felt like doing a couple kiddie updates.
Gwen is growing smarter, cuter, and ever louder. She seems to be learning a thousand words a day, and yet I still have to strain my ears and my brain to understand what she's trying to tell me most of the time. She is just dying to speak in sentences. For every word she doesn't know, she replaces with "wa wa wa." The other day as we were sitting down for dinner, she said, "Prayer!" folded her arms, closed her eyes really tight, and before I could get to the table with the food, she started blessing the food all by herself! It went something like this: "Dear Hebbly Fater, Bless wa wa wa, please wa wa wa. Christ. Amen!" We were so proud! She loves to say the prayer now, and she never lets us forget to bless the food.
Phoebe is still as sweet and precious as ever. She's a big momma's girl, and she wants to do everything like me and with me. She's started giving me kisses. We have a game that we play together. I kiss her cheeks really fast, and she laughs and laughs. Then she opens her mouth really wide and plants a big wet kiss on my cheek, then laughs and laughs. She's also learned how to get to the sitting position all by herself. She hasn't attempted to crawl yet. She doesn't have much interest in mobility right now. Gwen usually gets her what she needs to play with and Phoebe is happy to be served. Whenever I put her on her stomach, she immediately pushes up to sit. Not much tummy time, so she doesn't try to crawl. I'm sure it'll happen. Maybe she'll start walking first. She certainly loves to stand with mommy's help! Maybe she'll just skip the crawling stage all together.

Both of your girls are so smart. Phoebe is smart enough to know what she needs to do and what she doesn't. She takes after her great-grandma Phoebe more than you know.
What cute kids! It makes me feel a little better knowing that Luke isn't the only one that isn't crawling yet. I hate to admit it, but I am kind of glad he isn't mobile yet.
Gwen makes me laugh...I can't wait to hear her cute prayers. Phee is so cute too...she'll crawl before you know it - then you'll really have your hands full!
Can't believe how fast they are growing up! By the way, I love all the pictures, sooo cute!
I can't get over your pictures- they are seriously gorgeous! You have such a cute family! :)
And to answer your question- yes, it was actually VERY easy to transition Emma to her toddler bed. I had heard lots of horror stories about kids staying up all night playing with toys so I was scared. But we never had any problems. She got up one night- but I just told her to get back in bed and she did. Hopefully you'll have the same luck!
