iCrawl

instruction:

Put your iCrawl on the floor and put something interesting in

front of it.

Soon the iCrawl will start to push with it's feet and pull with it's hands to get where it want to go, especially towards that interesting item or person in front of it.

Next you will see that your iCrawl move into the Army Crawl mode.

(though it may just be that Delta Force blood in this model)

Before you know it, your iCrawl will be learning to get up on my hands and knees.

Sorry that there are no pictures of the iCrawl actually crawling. Though in real life you see a lady chase her iCrawl instead of taking pictures of it.

Problems you may face:

If you see your iCrawl looking like this, don't worry - just charge the batteries by having the iCrawl just take a nap.

trying new things ...

... like green beans!

tasting them for Mommie ...

"curious ... very curious ..."

"i mean, yuck ... very yucky!!!"

"try them again? do i have to?"

"Boo said what?!?!?! I have to eat these HOW many times before i like them? Tell her that it is more like I HAVE to eat these 6 times before YOU understand .... "

" ... I DO NOT LIKE GREEN BEANS!!!!"

Boo is my (natalie's) mother and has some wonderful advice for anyone's children. This piece of advice Emerson is "talking" about is that children often don't like things the first time given and it can take up to 6 times for them to start to like it (at least i think that is the advice ... Momma, feel free to post it better on a comment). Emerson still isn't enjoying green beans as baby food or mushed up, but did eat some (with a face, but only at the very beginning of each bite) at Cracker Barrel. My mother probably would say "See, i told you. 6 times." but me, i say "LOTS of butter!!!" :) I love you, Momma!

and we're back!

now that you are caught up ... here are some pictures from April.




it's me!

MARCH
~ 5 months

just chillin' on my sisters' trundle bed

trying to get into everything ... and starting to succeed.

saint patricks day (also known at our house as "Lucky's day!")

smiles

here is lillian just about 2 months here

and here is emerson at 3 months with one of his smiles

but what about arwen grace and her smiles ...

yep that was one of them ...

and here is another one.

she would make you work SO hard for a smile ...

which made her "real" smiles so precious!

and there you have it ... our smile journey of the wick children. :)

week of 13 and 14

we are so sorry that it has been so long since our last update! we have just been busy busy busy. hopefully things are settling down and we can do better at keeping you updated weekly.

here i am trying to stand ... i just love it and it makes me so happy!

sitting with my daddy, just hanging out

and i really like to sit up too! here i am "sitting" in my bassinet (though mommie keeps telling me it is for laying down in) and just looking around (with constant supervision folks!)

tarheels and wolfpacks

so normally our house is pretty okay with everyone liking tarheels and wolfpacks, except for days like this when the tarheels CREAMED the wolfpacks (99-62) and then lucky is all wolfpack and natalie is all tarheel and our children ... you think we would try to win them on our side, but they are just our little "wolfheels" :)

(tarpacks was our first thought, but then it sounded too much like a ciggarete company)

here Emerson is 12 weeks and finially in 0-3 month clothes!!! whoo-hoo!
