I feel like life is flying by these days. I always wish I could blog more, but I honestly don't know where I'd find the time. My best friend Chelsi is due with her 3rd baby in just 4 weeks! I'm planning on flying out to "help" at the end of August with Cole, but we're hoping that all 4 of us can go. I'm bummed b/c last night we missed out on a really good/super cheap deal for tickets - we just don't have all the money and are trying not to be frivolous... it's tough! But, I'll just keep praying and hope that God will make a way for that to happen.
I wanted to blog a little about the boys - they are getting so big! And doing so much!!
Asher:
- can fully zip his own sweatshirt - bottom to top!
- can buckle himself completely in his car seat - he even shuts the car door once he hops in :)
- is pretending A LOT! Pretending we're robots, that the floor is water, that something he's touching is hot, that he's flying, or that his toy is flying. Funny stuff.
- clears his plate all on his own after every meal.
- remembers TONS of stuff that we don't realize he's even listening to.
- asks me if it's okay to say things - we noticed that in one of his movies it has a few words like "dumb" or "stupid" or things like that, so now he'll say "Mom, is it okay if I say oh my goodness?"
- sometimes, he just comes up to me, almost crying and says "Mom, I just love you" and gives me a hug. Don't know why or how it started, but it's SO sweet!
- likes to help put ice in our water bottles, waffles in the toaster, help measure ingredients while cooking, throw out the dirty diapers, etc.
- has terrible allergies! We spent several hours, several days in a row outside, then on Wed his eye swelled up SO badly that's it is just now almost all the way normal. So, hopefully the end of July will be the end of his allergy season - one can hope!
Cole:
- talking like a champ!! - "I want din(ner)." "I want siss (kiss)" "I got" "take bath" "gwink (drink)" and so many more!! He'll say lots of things that are slurred together but are in "sentence" form like - go for a walk, play outside, go downstairs, have a chip, want an orange, where's the phone, I don't know, want my monkey (which is: want me me-me), read a book, have some gum, have some (insert anything he can't have), went pee-pee (which is actually always poo-poo). It sure is fun hearing him talk!
- gives Asher sweet kisses before each nap and bedtime :)
- is usually still awake at 8:15/8:30 everytime we put Ash to bed, even tho he's been in bed since 7:30... he welcomes Mark with a big "HI!!!"
- mimics ambulances and fire engines to a T!
- loves chewing gum & hates the sun in his eyes.
- has been SOO much better in the car lately - phew!
- loves slides, hates swings.
- loves going out back in grandma's little pool!!
- gives the best little kisses - a full on "mwah"
- the other day, Mark was feeling ill, so I took the boys out to lunch by myself. As we left the door, Cole looks back at Mark and blows him a huge kiss with two hands and huge smile, it was so adorable!
It's so hard to just list out all the fun & interesting things the boys do every day. But they are a hoot and we sure love watching them grow!
One last thing. I changed my business name (for my photography) to Studio 327, after the verse Proverbs 3:27. Someone very local was using the name Joli Photographie (compared to my JoliPhoto) and since I hadn't bought an official business license in several years, I just decided to change my name. It was about time for an overhaul anyway! You can go to my semi-finished site at www.s327.com and check it out! Refer me please!!! I'll give you free prints or even a Starbucks card :)
Thanks for checking in - enjoy your summer!
