This little guy turned 4 months a week ago....really? I just want him to stay the way he is right now forever, I can't take these kids growing up too fast. He is growing up so much. He rolls from his back to his belly all the time, and has been known to roll back to his back a couple of times. He also loves to gnaw on his hands, my hands, my hair, really anything he can put in his mouth. He LOVES to stare at his hands......he just lays there and stares straight at them, I am sure he is trying to figure out how he can get them in his mouth. He loves to sit and watch his big sis run all around. His eyes get so big and his head goes back and forth trying to keep up with her. His new obsessions, besides his hands, are the ceiling fan, grabbing the toys on his bouncer, music, smiling, sticking his tongue out while smiling, laughing, giving slobbery kisses on the cheeks, and funny noises made by all of us. He has this little language he loves to speak.....and sometimes I communicate with him in the same language, but that is something I will keep to myself.....
His thighs are about the same girth (haha) as his cheeks and all of them get lots of raspberries and kisses. I can't take how much I love this little man. I am OBSESSED. There is something definitely different with a boy than a girl. He loves me too.....he will not sit calm with J for longer than 5 minutes unless I am sitting next to them. It makes me feel so special!
Weight and height we find out on Friday....I am sure he is still about the 75% range in everything. We will see......
As for this little girl.....I am pretty sure she has skipped 18 months on and is a 2 year old. She talks up a storm, has INSANE tantrums, is SO smart (I can't get over it!), and has a lot of my stubbornness and J's listening abilities (non-existent). She is also apparently not afraid of anything! On my birthday, she fell off of a 7 foot high playground......scaring me to death, but was fine.....scared, but good. I don't even think she had a bruise from it. Everyday I am amazed at how much she soaks in everything! She amazes me with her memory....she remembers everything I say or tell her or if she hasn't played with something for a day or two and I ask her where the toy/thing is she knows exactly where to look. I don't know. I just love how she is a sponge! She loves to play outside and get dirty, she is OBSESSED with dogs....not afraid at all, and loves to say hi to other kids she sees. She loves her brother (that is what she calls him) and is protective of him. Whenever someone is holding him besides us, she gets this worried look on her face and I am pretty sure she thinks they are stealing him. She gives him lots and lots of kisses, accidental hits on his body with toys or whatever she has in her hand, and makes sure he always has his binky or blanket or anything that is his. I find him a lot with 3 blankets on him, a couple of burp clothes, and his clothes she finds gathered on top of him or around him. It is adorable. I could go on and on about her because I am obsessed with her as well. I can't believe she will be 2 years old in a couple of months. It has been the fastest 2 years of my life. J and I feel so blessed for all that we have.....it is crazy, for the situation we are in, being in school and having no income, how blessed we are to have a nice home and nice things and a wonderful family. We know our Heavenly Father has blessed us so much and we are so so so grateful!
Well, another summer break is upon us. J had his last final today and worked so hard this trimester to get through all of this classes. He earned his bachelor's degree and what an accomplishment for him. I am soooooo proud of all the hard work he has done to earn that, it wasn't easy taking those classes on top of his D.C. classes but he did it. Now we are only 3 trimesters away (1 year!) to him graduating and becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. I think we are both READY for the next step in our life and for our family. We are headed back west for a few weeks and in that time we will hopefully figure out our plans for post graduation. We are definitely excited to see family and be out of this humid weather for a little bit!
