Sleepless nights

The past 10 days or so Jill has been trying to cut her molars in. She's really not bad during the day. But she is just miserable at night- which means I don't get any sleep either. Going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7, I'm probably averaging only about four hours of sleep a night. And none of it is good sleep, but I manage fine throughout the day. I still think she has it worse. Poor little Jill.


Yesterday, the weather was beautiful! A perfect 74 degrees! So we spent some time outside playing and being goofy. Cameron had his first final yesterday morning, and he decided to take the rest of the day off from studying, since that's all he'll be doing until his finals are over on Wednesday. We sure had fun all playing together. It's good to let loose once ina while and be carefree. I don't do it enough! But it's those little moments that make it all worthwhile. Here are some pics we took in the backyard...

And I'm not sure if you all know, but we taught Tyler baby sign language when he was little. His first sign was "dog" and he did this at 11 months. I truely think this is one reason why he began talking so early, and why his vocabulary has always been so good. Anyways, we're doing the same with Jill. And here's her first sign, at 9 1/2 months...

"All done!"
