Things I want to Remember

Jeff's Quirks: We went out to eat the other night and got some Italian pizza--Jeff pulls out an avocado from home and puts it on his pizza! This one gave me a good laugh



Kate:
Kate: Did you have a good night Mommy? (said in a very grown up voice)

Me: Are you going to put on your socks?
Kate: No, they're weird.

After I say good night and Jeff is putting her to bed, she runs out and says "C-ya" one more time.

When she wakes up either from a nap or in the morning, she runs down the hall to jump into your arms for a hug.

Loves dressing herself, especially during nap time.

Loves socks, on hands and feet.

Loves taking care of her puppy. Recently, she starts putting her baby down for a nap often. This includes swaddling the puppy, putting him in her bed, covering him with her blanket, shutting (and locking) the door, and lights off. When she is around there, she talks quiet and tells us to talk quiet too.

Is so sweet to her brothers, I can't believe it. If they are crying she'll run and give them a hug and say, "It's okay." She really helps out so much with them, getting them toys, getting diapers.

Is getting interested in letters. She recognizes K and always says, "That's a K for Kate."

Is also getting interested in numbers. She loves to count things.

Loves cooking with me. I love it.

Is a little joy in our life. We are so grateful we have our little Katie Girl.


Scott:
Is constantly stealing toys from Austin. When they are playing, if Austin starts crying, 90% of the time Scott has taken a toy.

Is SO curious, he just dives for everything in sight. He really loves paper and has already ruined a few pages in a math book of one of my tutoring clients.

Loves scratching things--I think just to see what they are all about. He loves scratching the couch, toys, and Austin's head. It's funny because we'll be sitting there and all of a sudden, hear that unmistakable scratching sound.

Recently has a REALLY easy going temperament.

Has 8 teeth.

Is moving all over the place--not forward, but every other direction by scooting backwards, rolling over and pulling himself around with his arms

Is turning into a little champion eater of solid foods, man it's nice!

Is finally sleeping through the night consistently. The boys are rarely up before 5 and have even slept til 7 the last few days! Heavenly!

Might be left-handed! It's hard to tell yet, but it seems like it.

Loves giving fives, if I have my hand out, he will hit it over and over again.

LOVES to bounce in the jumperoo still. It is hilarious because he gets some serious air!

Tries to clap. It's cute.

Austin:
Is a happy little guy and gives an easy smile to about anybody. He just seems to have a really sweet little spirit.

Is thinking about holding his bottle sometimes. I have spoiled them with that dangit and didn't start trying to make them hold their bottles til a few weeks ago, so I am doubtful that it will happen.

Loves scratching things too. Austin doesn't scratch Scott, but loves scratching too.

LOVES to bounce in the jumperoo still. It is hilarious because he gets some serious air!

Sometimes seems to get a little stranger anxiety.

Has 7 1/2 teeth (one more is about to pop through)
Is moving all over the place, again not forward, but every other direction by rolling, scooting, or pulling with his hands.

Is a good little eater. He has a wide repertoire such as bananas, yogurt, peas, sweet potatoes, crackers, and that's all I can think of right now.

Is finally sleeping through the night consistently. The boys are rarely up before 5 and have even slept til 7 the last few days! Heavenly!

Seems to love his sleep. He will just sleep and sleep during naptime sometimes.

Waves sometimes, when he feels like it.

Both
Get teeth within days of each other. It's crazy.

We sure love our boys, they are getting so fun and we are so grateful to have them.


Maybe when I think of more, I'll put it.
