The Five Of Us!

I feel like we've been so busy with silly stuff, and I haven't been able to blog much! So here's an update!

Wyatt is doing good with school, when he isn't complaning. He has no idea how good he has it here at home! He reads around 4th grade level and he despises handwriting. Math comes pretty easily to him. He is so anxious to learn multiplication and asks almost daily when we can work on that. He has been doing so well in soccer and still loves playing. He spends lots of time playing with Legos and is still really into Star Wars.

Natalie is doing well with Kindergarten and has started reading just a little. I have learned to get creative when i'm teaching her :) She loves all things crafty--she goes through a lot of paper, glue, and tape. She draws a lot! She has really enjoyed playing her first season of soccer (she and Wyatt are on the same team) and is quite the little athlete! And i'm pretty sure she's the only girl on the soccer field with bows in her hair, too! She spends a lot of time mothering Mason, and is so good at watching him for me if I ask her to.

Mason is growing by leaps and bounds! He turned 8 months old on the 10th and I still can't believe it. He crawls everywhere (still on the belly) and pulls up on most everything. He has two bottom teeth and we're waiting for the top ones to get here any day now. He still nurses and eats tablefood--and boy, does he love food! His favorite so far is mashed potatoes! He used to sleep through the night, but for almost a month now he hasn't been sleeping well. I have no idea why, or else i'd fix the problem! He loves his 'kids' and smiles and laughs every time he sees them. Oh, and he loves water. I put him in the tub and he immediately flops onto his belly and swims up and down the tub. It's really funny--maybe one day i'll video him!
