Finally (i hope)

The Jackster is asleep.
I have been so excited to go to bed at the same time and snuggle with Jeff. I've worked the last 2 nights and not gotten to go to bed with him and have been looking forward to it.
We went out to eat tonight (we were gonna get free 3-stacks at IHOP, but the line filled the waiting room and poured out the door so instead Jeanae met us at Costa Vida) and then he let me run into wallyworld with the Rach while he and Jaki napped in the car. Over $100 later (laundry detergent and formula are expensive) we carried the sleeping Jackster into the house and debated whether to wake her up and put her in the tub with her sister or just put her in her room. We took our chances-Rachel had her bath alone, (which I think she kinda liked: the water a little deeper and room to spin circles) got on her pj's and then we put Jaki in their room. We thought it'd take a little while to get Rachel to sleep, but amazingly enough. she was asking for bed 5 minutes later. We had prayers, tucked Rachel into bed and then were just climbing in ourselves when we heard Jaki telling us she needed a nightcap. The problem is, Jaki doesn't just take a bottle and go right to bed. She dozes while she eats, sits up to burp, and then flashes what would be her pearly whites if she had any yet. You want to be annoyed that she is so awake, but can't help but play with her when you see the gleam in her eyes. Jeff tried to stay awake doing homework, but had to turn in 1/2 hout ago. Jaki has finally settled down and I think is now totally zonked (she should be, shes got 8 ounces in that cute little belly of hers).
Wish me luck while I try to lay her down.
At least the bed will be warm for me.

Soy Sauce

For dinner tonight I made stir fry vegetables with chicken and rice. We dished Rachel her food onto her plate and Jeff was going to help her pour some soy sauce on the side. She was telling him "No, I want it in my cup!" She thought it was pop and would not stop asking for it. We kept telling her it was dip but she didn't believe us. So I told her to taste it. I put a couple drops into a cup and let her drink it. Needless to say, she wasn't a fan. I wish I had pictures of her face. She seemed fine with it for about five seconds, then I guess it got to her. She was making the funniest faces. We hurried and got her milk and she wouldn't touch anything that had soy sauce on it for the rest of dinner.

Also, a couple milestones happened today!
This afternoon Rachel got her second and biggest haircut. I cut about an inch off the bottom and maybe 1/2-1 inch off the top. To tell you the truth, I don't really know how much I cut because Rachel was so wiggly the whole time. Luckily her hair is curly so it hides any flaws. It is hard to tell that it was even cut now, except that it seems to be a lot more fluffy with all the curls. Maybe when I put spray on it there will be a difference. I decided it is a good thing I get to practice on Rachel's hair before I start with Jaki's hair because I'm guessing that Jaki will have straight hair and you will be able to tell mistakes a lot easier than with Rachel's curly locks.
The second milestone: Jaki rolled over! Earlier this afternoon Jaki was playing under her little dancing cow while I was rocking Rachel for her nap. Jaki looked like she was going to roll over, but just kept scooting and scooting. She had almost turned a full circle before she got sick of it and needed some battention. Then tonight Jeff was working on stuff for the HOA, I was on the computer and Rachel was sitting on my lap playing with her baby. Jaki was laying on the ground getting very close to rolling over. We were back and forth watching her and doing whatever else we were doing when Jeff said, "Hey, Jaki is on her belly!" She had rolled over and none of us even saw it. She seemed quite pleased with herself for a while, but soon got sick of being on her belly so we rolled her back over. She came really close a few more times after that tonight, but never flipped all the way. So she rolled and we didn't even see it!
