Look for the Ju-bee. :)

*I must be doing something wrong lately, because these are never in order anymore.*

We discovered a few new things that Jubilee likes. She actually LOVES this.  I think it's the nice upright position because she can't really do anything else with it yet.

She's like, "I'm really too little for this, but I like it and I don't cry if I have to be by myself."

 Of course, the boys have to see what this new toy is all about.

A cute one of Noah.

Another cute one of Noah.

And here's the other toy Jubilee likes.  I really do think it's the upright with feet dangling position that she likes because she likes both of these better than the high chair or the bouncy seats and better than her swing if she wants to be awake.

 Everyone has to see what the new Jubi toy is all about

This is pretty much the only door (not counting bedrooms that are far away from the main part of the house and bathrooms that need fully closing doors) that this can go on in this house.  Poor baby has to stand on the cold floor.

 We painted shirts with fabric markers.  I had some ink transfer designs that said "permanent" but Noah's is already washing off... weird.  At least their fabric paint will last.  Abby used it when she was something like 2 and that shirt is still painted after many many many washes.

 Jubilee was laughing and squealing with delight as they pushed her in a huge circle around the kitchen island.  I couldn't get her face though.  They were too fast and too big for the camera and I was trying to avoid getting my toes run over.

Shirts

She looks so old!  I can't believe it's been 3.5 months already!  I don't like being a grown up.  Time passes too fast.  I don't want to get any older.  I already can't keep up.  I'll blink and it will be Christmas again.

 School...see that green first-grade reader under the Noah's ark book?
Most curriculums seem afraid that the kids will feel overwhelmed with a ton of stuff to read in one book so a lot of them give you tiny books.  The girls found this book and were looking at the pictures and getting really excited about the stories.  They asked if they could read it so I let them try a few of the first stories.  They did 4 of the first stories in 2 days.  That's how excited they were about this book.  And they just keep looking at the coming stories and pressing for more.  I am excited about this!  They also have been using the McGuffey readers and learning to read from these.  They have progressed so fast now that I know what I'm doing as a teacher.

 Look at the girls' hair.  They styled it themselves.

 We were using dry erase markers.  Can you tell?

 Look at Abby's pony tail she did.  :)

They were playing school.

 Most of them...

Jubi was the teacher.

He looks like a baby here.  :)

Abby was reading a book to Jubilee.

 Reading to her sister.  The others fell asleep.  We were reading books in the office.

 Playing trains.

She loves her siblings.  Sometimes more than me, I think.  Hehe.

Watching them play.

Abby made a bike seat for her baby.  :)  They sell these that actually go behind the rider for their dolls or go on the handle bars for a barbie.

She was upset that I said they had to clean some more before I got anything new out of the closet.

 Just watching.  "What's this scratchy soft stuff under my feet?  I think I'll pick that one up and curl my toes like I don't like it much."

bumble bumble bee!  :)
