Half Birthday

January 7th my boy turned 2.5 and it was a great day. Since my birthday is the day before and Chet's is the day after, we had lots of celebrating going on and he sang Happy Birthday three days straight.

I've noticed in the last few weeks he is turning into a big boy rather than just a toddler. He is LOUD. He looooooves cars. And trains. And planes. And tractors. Pretty much anything that has some sort of a motor. He loves to make the specific noises for each one. He loves to make them crash. His favorite thing to do is lay on the floor and watch the wheels move as he moves the cars around.

He loves to cuddle and is such a big softie. But in an instant he can be running around the house screaming and crashing into things and then saying "Almost fall!' when he falls to the ground.

He has a temper like mad. And is very particular about everything. Some would say that resembles me. I have no idea what they are talking about.
Lately his speech is getting better and he is putting more words together. Sometimes he catches me off guard, like this morning, I went to get him out of bed and I went to rub his back and he said "No touch me, Mama." Um ok what?! He's pulling teenage boy moves like that. And refusing to kiss me. He only lets me kiss his cheek and then runs off laughing.

He is warming up to sister and likes to push his boundaries with her. He finds it hilarious when I lay her in his bed and then he tells me she is cold and needs to be cuddled up with his blankets. I can't wait to see them grow closer.

Happy half birthday, Q. You are loved.




7 Months

Adeline Cecelia. Where do I even begin with you?! I honestly was worried that I couldn't love another child like your brother, but you proved me wrong.
Your smile is so contagious. It is so so big. It fits the rest of you very well.
You love to watch your brother and talk to him. You get irritated with him quickly though when he is being too loud or hovering around you.
You are finally letting more people hold you. You now let Daddy, Oma, Auntie Sophie, Gram and Papa. Sometimes a few other people get you on a lucky minute. But it's a rare occasion.
You have started to hate all your toys and only want your brothers.
You still like to be in your jumper. But let us know AS SOON as you are over it.
You still don't have much of a night schedule. I can count on you waking up at least once during the night to eat.
No rolling yet. You did it once and then never again. We think it is because you are too fat and it is just too much work for you. Same with crawling. You have no interest. But you have been sitting up by yourself like a champ since 5 months.
No teeth. But you chew and drool on EVERYTHING!
You are getting the hang of the whole eating solids thing. Pretty much everything I've given you, you've liked. No surprise there.
You don't smile a ton. Or really laugh. You are super observant and like to study people vs smile at them. Although you have started to do a fake laugh/chuckle. It is seriously hilarious.

Anybody that sees you comments on how beautiful you are and we couldn't agree more. You have so many people that love you, sweet girl.
xoxo
