The things Jack says

One night, of many, Jack kept getting out of bed and coming down stairs. I think he had been down about 3 times at least. He peeked his head around the corner from the kitchen. Because we get exhausted taking him back up to bed again and again Colin said, "Go back to bed or I will take your butt back to bed." We don't use that word and usually say bum. Jack, not know what a butt is said, "I don't have a butt" in his high pitched voice. He said it so cute and so innocently that we just had to laugh.

Jack picks up many things from Mia and she likes to say that certain things are her "favorite" as all kids do. Today I heard Jack say to Colin, " your my favorite daddy!" Later today he said, "your my favorite mommy!" He's so sweet! He uses that sweetness to get what he wants from me and it almost always works.

Playing Mia's games

Mia made up this obstacle course tonight all by herself. She walked us through the course then Colin had his turn. He had to sing the ABCs at the very end, he timed each of us and we had some good laughs. I have to compliment Mia on her creativity!! Colin didn't get a recording of me but the pictures show that I am singing "I'm A Little Tea Pot". Jack played a bit but as usual he only wanted to do his own thing and kept trying to mutilate the course. He is the typical younger brother torturing his older sister. I have a feeling it will take about 20 years for him to stop doing that.

Oh the things you do for your kids!

I'm in LOVE!

Cole just started smiling last week and I got lucky and shot these pictures today. It just melts my heart every time I get him to smile at me. He is even starting to coo. He loves to talk to Colin. This is my favorite stage I have to admit!
