Growing Silly Love

Matthew's New Thing: Mr Matthew turned two months old yesterday. The little man was maxing out his 3 month onesie I dressed him in yesterday morning so we decided to change out his clothes. At two months old, he is now in 6 month clothes! Most his winter clothes are in the 6 month size. I am thinking I need to get the boy some 9 month winter clothes. aye. (Growing)

Grace's New Thing: Brian often tells Grace "you are silly". She has started saying "noooo Gracie not sigy. Daddy sigy!" She then bursts out into in a huge belly laugh. It is amusing but then when she gets to the belly laugh part, you can't help but laugh with her over her enjoyment of telling her dad that he is silly. (Silly)

Sophie's New Thing: Sophie has started to tell me "I luv you". It melts me heart every time. Often when I scoop her up for a hug I will whisper in her ear "I love you". For the first time this weekend, she told it back it to me. She has repeated the phrase in the past but never said it without being asked. Melts a mamma's heart, I tell ya! (Love)


My Mommy Thought: If all we are able to do with our kids is "Grow Silly Love" then we have done pretty darn good. I think that is a phrase I will have to keep on using to remind myself to enjoy how precious the days of childhood are and how blessed we are to have them times three!

school, "beep, beep", and sleep ... life is busy

A First for Grace: Tuesday was Grace's first day of preschool! She goes twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, for three hours. She took off when they got there the first day and didn't want to wait for Brian to gather her stuff out of the car. Grace now is a proud owner of "kitty shoes". They have Hello Kitty on the side who she has never seen but liked them on the side of her shoes.

Sophie's New Thing: "beep, beep" One night while trying to entertain Sophie while she sat in my lap, I touched her nose and said "beep, beep". Now several weeks later, Sophie will touch her nose or your nose and say "beep, beep". It is adorable. It is funny how that little pointless thing I did with Sophie that night has stuck around for weeks.

Matthew's New Thing: Matthew is pushing up like a champ. His neck control has really improved too. He is a good sleeper about half of the nights. It seems I get one good night and one not so good night. I am hoping the good nights align up with the days I am working starting next week. I hope he realizes that come October that I will be working every day (until he graduates college!) so he should be nice to his momma and sleep good. All the being said, it is hard to believe he is 7.5 weeks old already.

My Mommy Thoughts: Sometimes it still hits me that I am the mommy. How did that happen? Ok, well I know how but when did I get old enough to be the mommy three times over? Grace carries on conversations with us now and will say "yes, mommy" or "ok, mommy" and it still strikes me that I am the mommy for her. Maybe one day it won't be that same overwhelming feeling but at this point, I am hoping not because I really like those moments when I take a second to realize that I am the mommy!
