Crib Tales

If you are one of the grandparents,

when you awake this morning and with your sleepy Saturday morning eyes you glance upon this website

to check if by any chance there are new pictures of your grandchildren...

hoping against all hope...

you will think you have died and gone to heaven

when you discover these 20 adorable pictures of our little ones.

These were taken today, a relatively work-free day for me as far as days go lately...

Ariana was napping in the crib and upon awakening Caleb and I went to greet her.

Caleb requested to get in the crib with her,

something his father had already let him do a couple times.

I pounced upon the opportunity to take a few shots.

It's not like Caleb is invading Ariana's space here...

he is actually starting to give over his space to her, without as much as blinking an eye.

For right now, and not only in these pictures, my children SHARE THE CRIB.

Ariana naps in it by day, and Caleb still sleeps in it by night.

The toddler bed awaits in that same room for the time and energy of two tired parents

to start implementing it. The time is coming, soon.

When I mentioned to Caleb several days ago that the baby will sleep in his crib and he will sleep in the little bed soon, he thought the two of them will be sleeping together.

In the crib.

As evidenced by his wide eyes, and his hopeful question: "Together?"

Well no, not exactly sweety... but you know what?

You can join her in the crib when she wakes from her nap!

Being entertained

Ever the Entertainer

They are sick. Still. Or anew... who knows?

So he's not kissing her. He's blowing her a kiss instead.

My babies. In the crib together.

(So ironic. For it has to be known that we don't even use cribs around here

for night sleeping until well after age one. Until then, it's next to Mommy.)

I think he's getting ready to do a somersault over me.

Please save me now.

She loves him.

He loves her.

(Wait. I thought he wasn't kissing her.)

What more could a mother ask?
