Matthew's New Thing ... Matthew rolled over the first time tonight and everyone was watching him. I put him on the floor and the girls came running over thinking he was finally going to play with them. Brian and I were telling the girls to give him space. He was pushing up on his arms to look around and then rolled himself over. He of course screamed when he did this but it was fun that we all got to watch it!
Grace loved handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters tonight. It was so cute to hear her talk about them. Of course, she also loved getting candy yesterday at my office party and tonight at the trick-or-trunk we went to!
Sophie's theory with the candy in her bag tonight was to dump it out in the middle of the living room to see what she got. She then picked through for what she deemed as the good stuff. In case you are wondering, M&Ms are good stuff!;)

Randomness in the form of Hokies, the sky, and smiles
Grace's new phrase ... We are so proud. College football was on tonight and Grace blurts out with "Go Hokies!" Now the Hokies weren't playing but she was very proud of herself for saying it and kept repeating "Go Hokies!" with a big smile!
Sophie's new phrase ... Imagine Sophie saying "High in the sky" with her hands up in the air. This phrase is said at Little Gym with the shakers during the opening circle time. We will say it at home with the bells the girls have. Tonight, Sophie said it for the first time on her own and put her hands up in the sky. Oh and Sophie's version of "Go Hokies!" sounds something like "Ho Hokies!"=P
Matthew's new thing ... Matthew has the best smile. I keep meaning to post about his smile and keep forgetting so here it is! He loves to smile at you when you talk to him. He will make sure you are worth smiling at before he gives you his full smile which is very amusing. I haven't gotten a picture of his great smile yet but I am sure there will be many opportunities for that over the years.
Two posts in one day is a record but hopefully a sign of posts coming more often!

Sleep, more sleep, and singing!
Matthew's New Thing ... SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!! YAY! Happy Dance! Whatever. Last week, Matthew slept through the night for the first time. It was amazing ... well, at least for me! He is loving sleeping in his crib and I am loving the extra sleep I am getting most nights! YAY! Thank you Mr. Matthew for loving sleep as much as your momma does!
Sophie's New Thing ... Thankfully most days Sophie admits that she still needs a nap. Some days she will even ask/request for it to be nap time. Other days, like today, she still went down screaming but was out instantly. We much prefer the requesting a nap days over the screaming days!
Grace's New Thing ... Grace loves signing songs. Brian started signing at bedtime to them but now the requests happen any time of the day. Favorites are "itsy spider", "little lamb", "abc's", "twinkle star", "rock a baby", and "patty cake".
Mommy's Thoughts ... I need to do this more often even if it isn't all three kids at the same time. I often think "this is a little moment" but then I when get here and start typing I can only seem to remember stuff for one or two of the kids. I guess I need to admit it will all balance out and not end up just about one of them which is why I kept this to being one update about each kiddo.

New, New, and New
Matthew's New Things ... yes, things. Matthew is in 9M clothes as of Oct 5th. He is growing for sure. He will now smile on a regular basis and has a smile that melts your heart. He is trying to sit up and move around. He has slept in his crib the past two nights. His first sleep time at night is 7-8 hours.
Sophie's New Things ... Sophie is getting better at warming up to people faster. She enjoyed being held by her Grandpa during their recent visit after she warmed up to him. Sophie started saying her name recently. She will say "Sugar" more than "Sophie" but she has told me her name is Sophie a couple of times. Sophie's favorite thing right now is dancing. Yesterday when I got home from work. She took me straight to the kitchen to dance with her to the music playing out there. Talk about feeling special!
Grace's New Things ... Grace is full of herself! Grace loves to color. She is loving preschool and I think she wishes she could go every day. Our helpful Grace has disappeared for now. She doesn't like to help as much as she used to so I have to beg her to let the dog in if I am busy where she used to just run and get him. She is doing good about sleeping her in own bed instead of with Sophie which means more sleep for both of them! Grace still loves apples and thinks that picking apples at the apple orchard is one of the best activities ever!
Mommy Thoughts: Coming home to three little kids is the best thing ever. It doesn't matter if they are screaming, smiling, or beating each other up. They make me laugh and smile and feel an incredible since of pride in knowing they are my kids. I can only hope and pray that I can continue to let them live up to the great potential they each have within them already!
