We did our part today and bought a couple of Blizzards for Miracle Treat Day. Wyatt was way too happy to pick out what kind Josh would get ("Smarties!!!!!"), and probably ate 1/3 of it. Of course, had we bought him his own, he would have hardly touched it. :P He was so wired up on sugar, he walked all the way home!
Odd side note: on the way home, an older lady asked if Paige and Wyatt were twins (whuck?), and then another old lady stopped Wyatt and gave him candy, and pinched his cheek! He was a little put off by the pinch (not a hard pinch, I just don't think he's used to strangers touching his face...nor should he be, ha ha), and I quickly pocketed the candy (which later made it's way into the garbage can - she seemed nice enough, but if I wouldn't eat it, my kid sure isn't). It was an interesting walk home...

See that drooly smile? I am pretty sure my 11 week old is teething. :S She gnaws on everything and sooooo much drool. Please, please don't let her be teething already. :S

Wyatt has discovered jumping on the couch. And his bed. And my bed. Probably Paige's crib, if I let him. So here is a picture of him kind of jumping, and looking a lot like Bat Boy from News of the World for some reason.

I know it's not a great picture, but I had to be quick! Paige is 11 weeks today, and will. not. stay.still. I put her on the playmat, and she scooted around 45 degrees as fast as I could grab the camera. Then she started lifting herself off the mat with her legs! She does this in the tub too, which pushes her down towards the water (which is why we took to calling her Kamikaze Paige). She just has no desire to lay around and observe...she wants to move and get in on the action. I am starting to brace myself now for the next few years...

We moved Paige into her crib 2 nights ago. We had her in a bassinett beside our bed since she was born, but dang, that kid moves in her sleep! I'd often find her trying to turn sideways, or pushed right up against the top of the bassinett. She adjusted just fine (as did Wyatt, and yet I still anticipated a huge ordeal), and even slept through the night last night. :)

We went to the zoo today with Josh's sister and two kids, as well as Josh's parents. It was...interesting. All three toddlers are at the "why?" stage, so that was fun. Because we were running late, Paige needed a bottle about 20 minutes from the zoo. That set us even further behind, so we started our day there past noon with no lunch and no naps. None of them really wanted to walk, and none of them wanted to be in a stroller or wagon - "Carry me!" was the phrase of the day. It was better than sitting around all day at home, but I was still very grateful when we pulled into our driveway at the end of the day. :D

This picture makes me laugh so much. I can't decide if it's Paige's half-smirk or Wyatt's totally unimpressed expression (or both). These kids make me crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way (well, maybe just a little less crazy and a little more sleeping).
