Eden getting ready to crawl!

Eden is getting herself ready to crawl. She has been rocking back and forth like this for about two weeks now. She will be 6 months old on the 13th of this month! I can't believe how fast it has gone. For the most part, I am enjoying a full nights rest now. Between one of the three kids, someone wakes up on occasion. Benjamin is the best sleeper of them all. He sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 2-3 hour nap every afternoon. He is eating much better lately. We had to get hard core with him. He is pittiful, walking around sometimes after his nap pouting "cookie, cookie". We only allow him to eat meals at the table. Well, I do give in at times when my will isn't strong enough to watch him pout. Levi has been such a good boy. The 1-2-3 Magic has really changed our lives. We react differently to him and he has responded well to the simple changes we have made. Jeff and I wonder why it took us so long to seek professional advice. I would have never guessed two visits to a Play Therapist would accomplish so much for our family. However, we have been discussing which two kids should share a room and Levi wants to share a room with Ben until he's 33......we do hope to have them all out of the house by then. When we told him that he's better have his own house by the time he's 33, he made it clear that Ben and Eden could live with him so he can have some children to raise. We'll see how he feels about that in ummmmm.....27 years. Until then, we will enjoy them at their present ages. I hear it goes by fast.

Ican't believe how big she is getting. She is anxious to start roaming with her brothers.:)

I bet by the time you put your camera down she was crawling :) Doesn't look like it will be much longer and you will literally be chasing 3 kids !! Glad that Ben is doing so much better with his appetite. You will have to remind Levi that when he gets home from his mission that his siblings are moving in so you and Jeff can move to Hawaii :)
