Sitting

Jade is sitting up by herself!  I timed her a little while ago to see how long she could sit without falling over and it was 11 minutes.  She reached for something and fell to the side.  I can't believe she can sit for that long.  She is growing up too fast.  I figured she was going to do stuff early.  She turned 6 months yesterday.  We had a WIC appointment yesterday as well.  While we were there the electricity went out in the Health department.  Weird, huh.  Thankfully, they had already done my paper work before it went out.  Jade weighed 14 lbs. and 12 oz.  The nutritionist said that she was short for her age.  She is only 14 1/2 inches long.  That just makes her ever cuter in my opinion. :)  She's my chubby little cutie.  I have three very different little girls.  Hannah is extremely tall and blonde, Lily is average and redheaded, and Jade is short and brunette.  

Ballet Recital

What can I say, it was beautiful.  Both of my girls amaze me.  Hannah is so grown up and Lily is right behind her.  I didn't know what to expect with Lily, this being her first year.  I know Hannah was scared her first year and wanted me to be with her backstage.  However, Lily did not.  I even went to check on her one time to make sure she was not upset and she was like, "Hey, what are you doing?"  I told her I was going to go sit back in my seat and she was like, "Okay."  She is SO independent.  She did so well in her dance too.  I just can't believe how much she is growing up.  Hannah's dance was a lot more complicated than it has been in the past, but it didn't seem to bother her at all.  She said it was easy.  They both love being on the "big" stage.  I actually got to sit and watch the whole show this time.  It was nice.  :) Jade even sat in my lap and was good!  If you remotely know Jade, that is amazing.  She is such a hyper little baby.  We had a good time.  As soon as we got home they both asked, "Can we play in these now!?" They were talking about their costumes of course.  :)  They have a nice assortment of dress-up costumes now.  ;-)

How Pavement Picasso Does It

Found this video...

WOW Art!

I happened across this particular man through an email group. Julian Beever, the pavement picasso.  Go to his site or google him and see his amazing work.  The picture below is one that was in the email.
