Grace is 6 months old already, I can't believe how time flies. Right now her favorite toys are toy guns and the remote control. I don't know why she likes toy guns so much, but apparently they must taste pretty good. She still doesn't like to eat baby food. I feel like I'm forcing her to eat it, but hopefully soon she'll start liking it better.
James has finally gotten into the stage of wanting to do things himself, especially praying. We aren't allowed to help him anymore. I'm not sure if he's just late, or if girls get to this stage earlier. He also likes to sleep with his favorite toys. The rule is that they have to stay on the side of the bed by the wall so he doesn't accidentally run into them at night. For a while he had like 10 things in bed with him, so I decided to put an end to it. Now he's only allowed two items. He has a great memory though, when he had so many toys in there with him he would still know if something was missing. Many times he would go to bed and then start crying 5 minutes later because one of the items wasn't there. How can he even see well enough in the dark? The night light isn't that bright. Just tonight he started calling for me because he didn't have his second toy in bed with him. Right now his second toy is a big huge mailbox thing that our friends gave us. Oh well. At least he hasn't had a nightmare in a couple of months. Speaking of which, our kids haven't cried in the middle of the night in at least 2 months. They are awesome!! Now if only I could get rid of my insomnia. Here are some pictures and videos of the kids.

What cuties!!! Grace is such a doll. Time does fly, doesn't it?! I'm glad that you guys are enjoying the fun weather and that your kids are giving you a break at night. Good luck sleeping!
I love those cheeks on Grace! Such a sweet round face. :)
Ha! James and Levi are the same, must have toys to sleep. We have a similar rule about limiting toys, two is a good number because they only have two hands. Although Levi has been known to get out of bed a sneak in an extra toy or two.
