wisdom of children

We were celebrating Lucy and Laken's birthdays at grandma collier's house. Lucy was done eating and hovering over the cake. after a few minutes she grew impatient and said, "when can we light this up?"

During our movie night, we were watching Beauty and the beast, we got to the part where the beast turns into the prince, Lucy covers her eyes and says "I get nervous cuz he's just gets too handsome."

For pre-school we did the letter K just before Christmas and the theme was the three Kings. We made little cut out puppets of the wise men and their camels. On her way out, the other little girl dropped one. Lydia grabbed it and said "here's your other cannible, Anna."

Lydia was naming shapes: square, circle, triangle, rectagon...

We were doing a craft for preschool and Lucy asked if we were going to "da-rec-a-date it" (decorate it)

Lucy was rocking Miles for me and he was really liking it. Lucy said "I knew he was really happy and that made me get a little teary"

Lydia put on her jacket and asked what it said on the front. I told her it said Old Navy. Lucy says, "oh. Because the old lady made it." Now Lydia calls it her old lady jacket.

We got a package from UPS and Lydia saw the truck and said "Ooo! Is that the CTR man?" The CTR shield and UPS logo look similar to her I guess...

My little Dopey.

Doesn't he look so cute in his "Grandma Sweater"!?

His ears normally don't stick out like that, but it looks so funny I had to take a picture!!! I love it!

Miles LOVES his food!

This is what happens when he lurches forward right when I bring the spoon forward. You get pees on your forehead.

Lip smacken' good!

(5 1/2 months old)

Movie night in the tent

Aren't they cute!?

Miles at 4 1/2 months

Miles at almost 4 months

 

He's getting huge! At his appointment he was in the 90% again weighing in at 17lb 5 oz! I think Lucy weighed that much at 12 months! He's rolling both ways, but the problem is that when it's bed time, he rolls right over when I lay him down and is not happy, then when he's supposed to be playing on the floor, he rolls over the other way, and again, is not happy. Hopefully he'll figure it out...soon...

He's sleeping about 7 hours at night! Pretty good!

The girls still think he's hilarious.

Here are a few videos of him:

Snow! Finally!

Crazy Lucy, putting her face in the snow!

That's Lydia with our little neighbor Riley.

Riley, Lucy, and Lydia

And, yep, that's the mountain view from my front yard. Pretty sweet huh!

Some new pics of Miles

This is the awesome owl hat Circe made for him! So cute!

This is the cute church outfit from Gma Mathis. He looked so stylin!

Miles likes the bath, but he thinks it's his job to make the biggest splash possible. And he's very serious about it. He straight arms it down into the water and he gets some pretty big air with those splashes!

Miles has a cousin, Jared,  that's about 4 1/2 months older than him, so he's almost 9 months now...well, they have been giving us some great hand me downs. The only problem is that Miles is as big, if not bigger than his 9 month old cousin! This little kid won't stop growing! He's getting so big! He'll be 4 months old this week.  He likes to be awake with mom at night. (still not quite sleeping all night, little stinker! He gets hungry and downs 6 oz sometimes twice a night!) Usually, now, when I go to get him out of bed he's rolled over, but he'll never do it when I'm watching. Lucy and Lydia still think he's hillarious, especially when he drips globs of slobbery bubbles down his face! 

Christmas!

Here are just a few christmas pictures. We had a lot of fun this year. The girls were both really excited about Christmas, and I was excited for them!

These are the PJ's Santa left at the front door Christmas Eve night.

 

(Check out Lydia's hair! It's like that EVERY morning!)

Miles is starting to smile when I talk to him. He DOES NOT like his car seat and will cry the whole time we are in the car. (very fun for all of us) 5 hours of sleep is his average right now, and gets up once at night. Not too bad... At his doctor appt he weighed a whopping 13 1/2 lbs. He's in the 80% for his length and weight! The girls were never above 20%.   Lucy loves to hold him and touch him ALL the time. Lydia likes to hold him too, but kindly gives him his space. They both think he's hilarious whenever he farts or spits or whacks around with his arms.
