I LOVE this little family of mine!
This is a picture taken after Church at Amanda and Amy's Farewell by Andrew. The rest Aaron took.
I'm going to try and write and take pics once a week of each of the kids.
I'll call it Monday Morsels.
I will try and write a bit during the week then post on Monday's.
This is going to be like a Journal about them. Hopefully next Christmas I can print a book of these writings for us to enjoy.
::: Emsley :::
She is my little artist. Drawing and coloring are a favorite daily activity.
She loves to help in the kitchen especially if its a treat. Today we made a cereal treat and
she loved helping.
Food will motivate this girl. She loves to share especially when its yummy food.
Sometimes they will have a snack in kindergarten if it is someone's birthday.
The other day she saved some of her snack and gave it to me at the carpool pick up.
What kid would not eat there whole treat right then and there.
This girl is a sweet one I tell ya.
::: Brinley :::
She is mimicking more than ever before.
When Jacob was a few days old she licked her pointer finger,
and put some of his hairs in place. This had us literally laughing out loud!
She will hold up her pointer finger look at me and say "Mom back."
When I have to leave the house or room for that matter I often say "I'll be right back."
Today she added "Be back"
She will say this several times looking at me in the eye with her finger up.
Emsley's love for art is rubbing off.
She will sit and color for a good 15 minutes in her highchair
before yelling to me "Aaaa done. Aaaaaa done!"
::: James :::
I love this outfit on him. The printed sweater vest and
the bow tie is the cherry on top.
Monday was his first day back at preschool after a two week break.
He started to put up a fight when we were getting his shoes on to leave.
Grateful for Staci Martin (The other mom we carpool with) she told me he will be fine
and herded him into her van. This little boy has a contagious laugh.
::: Jacob :::
Oh my! My sweet sweet baby boy! We couldn't love him more!
He has started to smile more often this week.
His #2 diapers are a little less often, but usually has a
daily one that is explosive.
He is not as stuffy respiratory wise.
Which I was expecting to be worse after all the family we have had around.
It is amazing how big he is getting.
I love all the baby sounds he makes, from the breathing, yawning,
hiccups (which he gets often) grunting, goos, and gahhs.
On 12/2 he started baby talking a whole minute.
He looked me right in the eye and made sound after sound with his eyes locked on mine.
