My mom is so mean

I overheard Jake tell Zeke the following:

My mom is so mean.  I asked her if I could pet my grandma's cat and she said, "No! if you do you'll be in big trouble!" and that was only petting a cat!

What we ate: Frosted Shredded Wheat ***
                      A banana  *****
                      apple slices  **
                      corn on the cob  ***
                      birthday cake  **
                      hot dog skins (Jake's fried julienned bologne.)  *****
                      Apple juice  ***
                      bread ****


The girls sleep so well.  Jade loves this song that my mom used to sing to me when I was little:

I once had a doll it was all dressed in white
I called her my baby and I'd hold her tight.
Her eyes were so blue and her cheeks were so red.
I loved her best of all each time she said.
Mama. Mama.  One little word she knew.
Mama. Mama.  To me, it meant, "I love you."

All of the kids love to hold and entertain Avery, just a little more than she does.  Grant was right, she is a good eater!  She loved the Birthday cake.
