Missing Daddy
Last night Mike didn't get home until after Harrison went to bed and this morning he had to leave before he woke up. The first thing Harrison asked me when he woke up was "Where's Daddy?" I told him Mike had to leave early for work but that he would be home for dinner tonight. Then Harrison asked me if it was me or Mike who took him back to his bed last night. I told him Mike had and then he said, "I knew it was daddy because I felt his fur, I was just too tired to open my eyes."

Emilee's first sentence
Emilee loves to talk! She can say a lot of words, but she also says a lot that we don't understand yet. Yesterday Emilee ran into my room crying. I asked her what was wrong and she looked at me and said, "Bubba hit ME!". I was surprised to hear her say a complete sentence and just laughed a little that her first sentence was to tattle on Harrison. Let the fun begin!!

What the kids are up to these days...
Harrison:
1. Goes to K4 three days a week and loves it!
2. Loves playing pretend with lots of things but always with his soldiers and cars.
3. Is VERY interested in learning new facts - especially about animals.
4. Still eats almost anything we put in front of him. Favorite foods: tacos, macaroni and cheese, carrot sticks and cucumbers.
5. Is playing soccer on a church team and loves it! He is a very fast runner!
6. Plays very well independently but much prefers to be around other people. I usually have to force him to go play in his room and he whines and complains for about a minute until he gets busy doing something in there. Then, he plays very happily for an hour to an hour and a half.
7. He can still nap everyday if I make him but he usually just has quiet time in his room.
8. Loves to sing - usually he sings songs that he makes up. Often, they are to the tune of a song he knows but the words are not real words (He thinks its a different language)
9. Enjoys looking at books and for someone to read to him. He knows all the letters and sounds they make and is beginning to recognize words too.
10. Dresses, undresses, showers and wipes himself without any help.
Emilee:
1. VERY independent. She plays by herself really well without being asked. She often goes to her room to play when everyone else is in the living room.
2. LOVES to sing!!! She sings lots of songs. We can always recognize the tune but she has her own little language for most of the words. Favorite songs are Happy Birthday, Jesus Loves Me, ABC's and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
3. She is a very good napper. She loves to get in bed with her "CC'" (pacy). She plays for a few minutes and then goes to sleep for 3-4 hrs.
4. While she sleeps very well at night, she is nearly impossible to get back to sleep if she does wake up. Usually she just has to cry it out b/c she will never go to sleep if we hold or rock her.
5. She is a VERY picky eater (compared to Harrison). This is very frustrating to me but I think (am hoping and praying) she will grow out of it.
6. Her favorite things to do are: look at/read books, play with her baby dolls, dress up in necklaces, bracelets and sunglasses and ride in her little tikes car.
7. We are working hard on teaching her that she is not in charge. She loves to tell people what to do. I often hear; "No no Gaggy!" ("No, Daddy!"), or "NOOOOO Bubba" ("No, Harrison!"). The other day Harrison said, "Emilee, you are NOT the boss" and Emilee replied, "I BAH-ssss".
8. Although she loves playing independently, she also loves to play games with Harrison and will do most things he tells her to do. They love to hide and chase one another around the house.
9. She is a messy eater but always wants a napkin to wipe her hands on when they get dirty. She will often stop eating if her hands or juice cup are too messy and they must be cleaned before she continues.
10. Loves dancing! Anytime she hears music she puts her hands up and starts spinning around.
Caleb:
1. Loves the swing. He likes looking around and drifting off to sleep while he is in it. He likes to sleep in his crib the best.
2. He is making cooing noises now that will melt your heart and has also started smiling back when we smile or talk to him.
3. He usually takes one long nap during the day and cat naps the rest of the day. This is mainly because I have to put him in and out of the car so often with H in school.
4. He sleeps pretty well at night but still wakes up once to eat. Some nights, he wakes up if his pacy falls out but goes right back to sleep when we put it back in. He lays down around 7:30pm, I feed him around 11pm before I go to bed, he wakes up between 3:30-4am and then he is up at 7-7:30am for the day.
5. He is much less fussier than he was a few weeks ago (I think this was probably due to the antibiotics he had in the hospital upsetting his stomach). Now he is a little fussy between 4-6. This makes it difficult to fix dinner some nights so my crock pot has become my best friend!
6. LOVES the water! One night he sat in his tub in the kitchen sink while we ate dinner. It was the only thing that made him happy and I was starving - not great for the water bill, but oh well! He loves being in the shower and doesn't mind water running over his face at all.
7. We call him "insta-mad" or because he can get mad in an instant! He usually calms down if someone picks him up and if not, we put him in some water :)
8. He sleeps on his tummy and has rolled from tummy to back once. He likes to pick his head up and look around, but gets mad if you leave him like that for long. He enjoys being in his crib on his back looking at the wall, windows, bumper, mobile etc.
9. He loves sitting with Harrison. He smiles and talks to him and Harrison is usually able to calm him down if he starts to fuss. I think (eventually) he will be a laid back baby. He doesn't seem to mind being crawled on top of, kissed or having a pacy shoved in his mouth by Emilee!
10. He is a great nurser but spits up a good bit. I'm not sure if this is due to something I'm eating or if he just over eats sometimes. He will take formula, but prefers to nurse.

Bath time
We don't usually do bath time like this, but thought it would be fun one night! They all had fun even though Caleb looks a little worried that he is going to be dunked! I think he had fun with his big brother and sister anyway!
