Grace at 4 Months

Grace is 13 pounds 12 ounces (40%) and 25 1/2 inches long (68%). She is quite petite and tall from when she was born.

She has the cutest little smile and bright blue eyes!

She loves to watch her brothers.

She sleeps 10 - 11 hours at night.

She rolls over both ways and scoots herself in a circle.

We love our sweet girl!

James - 22 Months

James at 22 Months

James is our little charmer!
You can be getting on to him about throwing food, throwing toys, hitting John, or yelling and he will come back at you with a smile and/or say "funny".
James first sentence was "John hit me". Now I have to be careful because if I ask "what's wrong?" he will say "John hit me" even if John didn't hit him. Little stinker!
He was getting into the car the other day and he hurt his leg...he then said, "sorry leg". He's a cutie!
James LOVES Batman right now...theme song, books, movies...everything Batman!
He will of course be Batman for Halloween and we will probably do a Batman theme for his 2nd Birthday.
If you say..."na, na, na, na", Jame will say "Batman" very emphatically!
James is starting to notice Grace more. He will pat Grace or play with her. Just the other night Grace was in the rocker and he was hugging on her and bringing her toys.
James loves to jump on the "jumping bed" and wrestle/run with John.
We love our little guy that is growing up way too fast!

John - 3 Years 3 Months

John 3 Years 3 Months

John is at a difficult age. Big emotions and big ideas...that don't always turn out the way he things they should go. 

John and James are playing better together. They love to wrestle (on the jumping bed) and play chase.

John still loves taking care of "Gracie" and giving her lots of hugs. He will lay beside her and just talk to her when she is on the floor upstairs. 

John is going to be Superman for Halloween. He is very excited about that. 

He loves school and the teacher says that he is the example of how others should act or behave. Very proud of our guy!

John and James - Preschool 2015-2016

Preschool 2015 - 2016

John and James started preschool at Stonebriar Community Church this year. They had a good first day of school. We pray for the boys to grow in their knowledge of Christ, as well as, learn their numbers, letters, and colors. John even gets to take Spanish. Below are their first day of school pictures ... that we took after school:

Grace - 3 Months

Grace laughs and smiles now.
Plays with her mobile and is starting to grasp at the animals.
She has started to recognize her hands.
She loves to be held, talked to and cuddled.
She has gone to the nursery at church a couple Sundays and has done really well. They always say she has such great facial expressions and is good at cuddling.
Started to wake up consistently about once in the middle of the night, but prefers to be asleep for the night by about 8 or 8:30.
She takes a really good morning nap and an afternoon nap, but not really at a consistent time.
Sweet Grace!

James - 21 Months

James at 21 Months

Our little baby...isn't so little anymore!

He keeps up with John. They run around the house chasing each other and wrestle.

James has started figuring out how to delay bedtime. He asks for Mommy when Daddy has him and then asks for Daddy when Mommy has him.

Enjoys readying books. Especially "Batman" and "Superman".

He likes Mickey Mouse right now "Mic Mou".

He also likes Barney and will watch it with Uncle Matthew.

At night he has lots of books in his bed along with multiple stuffed animals.

Lately he prefers Charly Bear in his bed. 

We played the "Happy" song recently and he asks for it to be played a lot.

Enjoys being outside without shoes!
James has started paying more attention to Grace. He will rock her when in the swing and will pat her when she is playing on the floor.

We love our little guy!
