My "Little" Ones




Ethan adores his baby sister. He is so gentle with her and likes to inform me when we are driving that "mommy, baby is crying" "yes Ethan i know she is screaming her little lungs out". His latest job is to refill her tray with toys when she is sitting in the walker. She drops all of them over the edge in about 3 or 4 minutes and then he fills it back up. Repeat that process about 8 or 9 times and by that time she has had it with the walker and ready to move on to something else. I love it when she cries and he says "it's ok baby, i right here". He is his busy little self these days and talking up a storm. Every time we go somewhere he says "you gonna drive fast mommy?" or "mommy, drive fast!" we got a little speedster on our hands. It seems like he says new words or new full sentences everyday-yesterday while in car lineup picking up the oldest two he was upset with his shoe and wanted me to fix it "right now" when i told him i couldn't right that second he informed me "mommy i mad at you". He cannot resist the "there is NO smiling in this van young man"- works every time!

Raegan is doing good just isn't the best sleeper ever!! She no longer likes her swing for nap time and let's us know by screaming if we try. She is a very happy little girl when she is fed and not tired. She wants to eat constantly so i think she may be going through a growth spurt. I upped her bottles to 7 oz. to see if mabye that will help and we are starting food along with the cereal as well. She is still scratching a lot, we keep a hat on her lately and that is helping. She is growing new hair where she scratched out the other but you can barely see it because it is blonde so it looks like before long she will be a blondie.

I love that Ethan takes care of his little sister so well! They'll probably be friends like Trey and Avery are. You do so well with your children!
