Everyday I am amazed at all the new things we are learning and doing, these are no longer my little babies. They are now my little big kids, with long legs, long hair, silly words and giggles.
Gunner's favorite words are bye-bye, uh-oh, dog, woof-woof, mama, dada, thank you, moo and suddenly he is just babbling up a storm about everything. My busy quiet boy has become quite the talker! He loves to be outside and can't wait to see the dogs he isn't nervous about them at all. He has started shrieking at the top of his lungs when he is upset (usually after his sister has bitten him) ear piercing screams! When he is tired he likes to snuggle and suck his thumb, he likes to dance and shake his head to feel his hair swish back and forth. He loves to ride the zebra rocking toy, and he shakes his crib back and forth when he is ready to get up from a nap. He got his first hair trim because his hair was in his eyes, he is such a handsome boy!
Gunner weighs 23.6lbs, is 31.5in tall, and has 10 teeth.
Hunter's favorite words are dog, bye-bye, woof-woof, mama, dada, go (as in where did it go? usually about his pacifier) and he crows like a rooster! He loves going outside and always wants to go see the chickens and the rooster. He likes the dogs and gets excited but he doesn't like it when Hasslehoff gives him too many kisses. He is still my snuggly mama's boy that sometimes comes to snuggle with us in the middle of the night for a little bit, but after about 30 minutes he has trouble finding a comfortable spot so he goes back to his bed. Hunter loves to dance, he does a rocking from foot to foot with his hand raised. He has started temper tantrums where he runs to the corner away from everyone and cries. His face and eyes get all red and he cries big crocodile tears, definitely my little red head! His hair is starting to curl in the back.
Hunter weighs 21lbs, is 30.75in tall and has 10 teeth. He is still my little guy!
Maarii's favorite words are baby, bye-bye, dada, dog, thank you, go (as in go away brothers) and mama. She is super giggly and does a funny little laugh that sounds fake she has started laughing like the Count on Sesame Street. She loves babies and loves to give hugs and kisses. She is very interested in clothes and has started bringing me clothes to put on her. Her favorite is her striped cardigan sweater. Good thing it washes she has worn it for a week straight, even with her jammies!
She loves to play outside and get dirty. She always has sticks, dirt and leaves in her hands and mouth. She tolerates the dogs but has fallen in love with grandma and grandpa's kitties.
Her temper tantrums have started with throwing herself face first on the ground with tears. She loves to snuggle on the couch with her blanket and suck her thumb first thing in the morning while she is waking up. She carries her dolls, bears and blankets around with her. She and Hunter love shoes! She is a tough cookie who shows her brothers who is boss and is not afraid to bite them. She is a big time daddy's girl, she throws a tantrum when he leaves her at home and is the first to greet him at the door.
Maarii weighs 24.8lbs, is 32.25in tall and has 14 teeth.
These kids are truly the most amazing blessings in my life! 4 very special reasons to be Thankful this year!
