July was a fun filled month. We went to the lake with all our cuzzies and got to spend almost a week there. Blissful relaxing heaven. It was amazing to really get to see the kids hang out. They are getting to such an aware and fun age. I love watching them grow up together! We can't wait for our newest cuzzy-bestie to come In October! I vote girl baby, Harrison says, "ChiChi baby boy." Who will win, me or H! ;) Lets be real, H always wins, in the end they always win!
Douglas - turned 5 months! WHAT!
- 7.4.16: first teeth. the bottom two. I love that Harrison crawled on memorial day and Douglas got his first teeth on the 4th of July. such little patriots!
- 7.6.16: frist night in his crib, in his room! big boy!
- He continues to try and roll over, can't get those thighs to follow orders
- sits up really well he is very study, but he can't catch himself when he falls over.
- he found his feet at the beginning of the month and his hands at the end of the month. ha
Harrison - turned 21 months! What WHAT, you are almost 2!
- Slow down time, I am already thinking about Hs bday party. Thinking October 15th and a vintage transportation theme. He is so into cars and trucks and buses and trains. So if I am gonna get "themey" I am gonna do it on my terms. hahaha! Wish me luck! He is very into sports as well, but I figure I will always have sports to go with, so lets roll with the wheeled things stage right now.
- His vocabulary is literally mind blowing. I am always amazed at the things he says, I find myself reaching for my phone at every turn. I want to record it all. I want to have it all forever and ever. This little amazing guy of mine is truly just an incredible kid and I am so lucky he is mine. I remind myself when I reach for my phone to stop. stop and just enjoy the moment. Enjoy the present. I will always have this memory and I can record other things. But just stop and take it in. You really don't want to miss it. I really really really don't want to miss a thing, and I fear everyday that I am missing something. I just have to know that it is enough, what I am, what I can do, what we are right here and right now, it is enough.
- Things H can be found saying: "its cold" "its hot" "i don't wike it" "i don't wike dat" "hold you" (sigh, i adore this!) "Dougoo/Daddy/Puppy Stop it" (never mommy though...heheh) "hep pee" (help me. M's seem to be hard for him, He says book (milk), buke (luke). But he knows that M says "mmm"). "cool one" (this cracks me up, he says it to himself. he will hit a baseball and go cool one, or take a bite of something. anything really. so funny)! "Come on" - sometimes "num on"
- 7.10.16 Harrison got his first self given holy water. He dipped his finger in and did the sign of the cross. Right now it is "fader" "son" "shoder shoder." (shoulder) He can sign the father and son, and sort of the holy spirit. But either way it was a huge moment and I was so proud.
- We have him his frog lovey blanket. We had them for both boys and were gonna give them to them for christmas, but he kept waking at 3am and so we thought maybe this would help. Fortunately it did and he is obsessed with his "fog binket." I just hope we don't develop a dependency on it. I just tell myself we will cross that bridge if/when it comes. He knows that his lovies & binkies stay in his crib for nap and bedtime, so this is no different.
- holy smokes, the other day I was changing his diaper when he got up and I told him "okay buddy we are gonna go for a run. I have your milk, your cereal, and your fruit." 5 minutes pass, we are getting ready to leave his room, and he says, "cereals, book, fruit!" I was like woah dude woah! You are so smart! I love when he makes certain words plural. cracks me up.
- he goes potty on his elmo potty before bath and sometimes during the day. We are not pushing it, but if he asks me let him. He will tell us most of the time that he is pee peeing or poo poo. but not always, and honestly I am in no hurry to potty train. So for now we just have fun with it.
