The Boys

We're loving the boys these days. Clearly they are at very different stages, but both so adorable in their own ways. RL, since the holidays, has totally taken off verbally and puts together longer strands of words more quickly each day. He's got lots to say, and when he's not talking, he's often singing. When we put him to bed, he usually says, "Sing Holy, Holy" and "Sing Jesus Love Me" and then at the end of the song, he whispers "chachacha"! Don't know where he got this...maybe heard some kids do it as they sang "happy birthday"? He repeats what we say alot, and at quieter times, he often whispers. When he sees letters, he says, "ABCses!" He's very friendly and often tells people, "Hey!"...just this week he watched the termite guy inspecting our house and yelled, "Hey...man!" He adds a "t" sound to lots of words before an "s" sound...such as "houtse" and "tennits", etc. And when he wants to get out or get up, he says, "Glout!" and "Glup!" Probably my favorite is his eagerness to snuggle...lots of days he gets out of his bed and the first thing he says is "Snuggle mommy" or "Snuggle Daddy" or "Snuggle blanket." We always have time for that! Here he is snuggling his baby brother.




Surrounded by sweeties...these girls love their brothers, too!


Our baby bear...


SA is continuing to grow and is doing some new things from time to time. He likes to hold rattles and has become a thumbsucker in the last month. He also rolled over for the first time back in January and I happened to have the camera out when he did it:

Leaning...



"What just happened! That was fun!"



We are so thankful for these little guys.
