Noah
Noah is so much fun! It seems like he is learning a ton EVERYDAY! He is such a smart boy and full of life. We really enjoy our time together. Here are a few insights into like with Noah:
*He is learning more and more about the Lord. It blesses my heart to hear him give the right answers to certain questions. I hope that helps him come to know the Lord as his personal Savior some day. We are praying for him always!
*He is a Type A person. Both of his parents are...so what do you expect! He likes everything to color coordinate. He separates Legos, colored letters, candy, etc. He even had to eat his fruity cheerios one color at a time on his spoon!
*Along with that, he loves his routines and everything to be done properly. His bedtime routine must be done to a 'T,' his toys must be in the RIGHT spot (but he does have his time to be destructive and just tosses everything around) before moving on to the next task, everyone must be properly clothed with a shirt and pants (wonders why Luke often doesn't wear pants), knows he needs his shoes, bag, and keys before heading to the church building. Love that kid!
*He is so loving. He loves to kiss, hug (he has to hug you before he kisses you-'the right order'), and one of his favorite things to do now is butterfly kisses. I try to get all I can because one day I won't be soooo cool!
*He is full of joy for life. Everything is exciting! He has the most expressive face and doesn't hide his emotions one bit. Praying he learns real joy in Christ one day and shares it with all he comes in contact with!
*He loves his Daddy. He loves to tell Daddy he loves him and to have a good day. He always announces when Daddy gets home with a huge smile on his face. One of his favorite things to do is wrestle with Dad, crawl on him, jump on his tummy (good ab workout!), and ride him like he is an elephant. So sweet!
*He loves what we call 'school.' I work with him while Luke is sleeping on his letters and numbers. He learns them so quickly! We color letter pages, play games, and read books. It is a special time.
*He is so active. He loves to run and climb on anything he finds. We got a swing set and trampoline for him and look forward to him playing on it!
*He is very polite. He using please, thank you, excuse me, etc. all the time.
*Loves TV and movies: Thomas the Train, Curious George, Little Bear, Clifford, Olivia, The Cat in the Hat, Chuggington, Sesame Street, Madagascar, and Toy Story.
*Loves to read! He will sit through books way above his age and enjoys them so much.
*He is great at puzzles and has been doing 3 to 7 year old puzzles since he was 2. He has a photographic memory like his Daddy. He is also really good at matching games where he can find a pair after one look.
*He still nurses his drinks all day. He will down a glass while keeping it to the side of his mouth so he doesn't have to stop playing. Clever boy!
*Loves all his stuffed animals but especially his 'Blue' which is a small doggy with a little blanket attached.
*Does well at going the potty in the potty and often tells me he needs to go. But we haven't transitioned to big boy underwear yet since he drinks so much and cannot hold it longer than 10 to 15 minutes.
*Is doing better at eating since we make him try one big of everything. He is still picking and has a huge sweet tooth. He loves having dessert after every lunch and dinner meal like his Mommy and Daddy. I guess he learned that bad habit from us! He likes to eat either ham and cheese for lunch or peanut butter sandwiches. And of course, everything is better with ketchup!
*He loves to play outside in his sand box, climb trees, find sticks, kick or throw the ball, or just run around.
*He loves playing with other kids. He always has. He will not hesitate to go up to a kid at a playground to play with them. It is so cute to see! I hope he never loses that and always seeks others out for the Lord! I always say he would have been good as a twin or second kid because he loves playing with others his size. So sweet!
* He is learning to be a good helper. I loves to help with the dishes, cooking especially, laundry, Luke's diaper changes,etc.
*Has a habit of calling me Momma and instead of Mommy now. It seems weird to hear it after he was capable of saying Mommy for so long. I think he learned it from his Mamma Bear book. He also likes to call Luke, 'Lukey.' Not sure where he got that from?
Luke
Luke is a great baby. He has done everything with relative ease at this point. He is eating well and gaining weight quick. In fact, he was in the 97 percentile at his 2 month appointment for height and 75 percentile for weight! He brings so much joy to our lives.
*He loves to be held. I love holding him and putting my face against his checks. He is so soft and warm with his Daddy. Can't get better than that!
*Joyful - He will smile and talk to anyone and even do it when no one is paying any attention to him. He even likes to take breaks to smile and talk to me while eating. Social bug! It brings joy to my heart to share that time with him!
*Strong - He is rolling over. He can roll from his tummy to his back and often does it all night long. Yes, I have a tummy sleeper and does not want to be on his back! He often wakes my up every 1 1/2 or 2 to roll him over or eat...it makes for a long night. Last night is was every 3 hours thankfully! It is hard to wake up so much when he was sleeping around 6 hours in a row until he learned to roll over. I remember Noah having this problem too. I look forward to him learning to roll the other way so I can do the CRY IT OUT method with him and sleep for longer periods.
*Loves to play. He started hitting toys and play at 2 months and is getting better at it. He loves his floor mat and tries to hit and grab the toys.
*Loves his bath. He doesn't cry and loves to splash around. I think he is going to outgrow his baby bath before he can sit up in the bath tub with Noah. Last night he was kicking his legs so much that he got water all over the kitchen floor!
There is so much more that I could share but I hope you have a little insight into life with my boys. I am a blessed Mommy and wife! Thank you Lord for my blessings! I couldn't have better males in my life!
