Driving me crazy

I am not sure what we were doing but a few days ago I said "Sawyer, you are driving me crazy!" and he replied "No mom, I am driving you to the beach!" ha ha ha. It's so funny how literal their world is. We forget sometimes. What a special time this is with him. I am so lucky to be his mom.

Tin Tin and board games!

Sawyer and his Papa have been bonding over Tin Tin this past couple of weeks. It is really sweet to see them read together. Sawyer is so attentive, and listens so carefully. He LOVES these stories. He even asks for Papa to put him to bed the last couple of weeks so that he can pick Tin Tin as a bedtime story. New for Sawyer since Christmas, is the playing of board games. YAY, finally! I have been waiting for a board game buddy. We have been playing Traintastic Cargo, Memory, Leapfrog Bingo and the Little Orchard. I am so excited for this stage.

What a fun month!

Reese has exploded this month! She learned to walk early in the month, and is usually in hot pursuit of her brother. It's not quite a run, but she is fast! There is no wobbly, hesitation in her steps. She also discovered that she can do more than just smile with that face of hers. She started pouting and furrowing her eyebrows this month, as well as a few other faces. It is so darn cute! It's incredibly hard not to laugh as she huffs and puffs. Today I asked her to sign please if she wanted Sawyer to give her what was in his hands and she refused and started crying. Finally she walked away. Then about 5 minutes later she walked back up to him and signed please. She realized we weren't going to give in. :) She loves walking with clothes or blankets in her hands. She often layers them over her neck, or just holds them in front of her when she walks. Totally not safe for a beginning walker or anyone for that matter. She looks especially cute when she does this with Sawyer's stethoscope. Somehow she has learned to somersault or almost anyway. I am not sure how that happened but she is pretty proud of herself when she does it. She has started dancing to music, and loves the vacuum and how it blows her hair up. She is also becoming great and sliding down the stairs on her belly. The funny part (which I am thankful for) is that she turns around and lies down on her belly a good 2-3 feet away from the top of the stairs. So she starts scooting but usually goes sideways, and so runs into the wall or railing. Once she makes it to the stairs she basically slides down versus crawling to each step, so I have to be READY, she goes quick! All in all I feel like she has exploded with personality and a new feisty attitude that we hadn't seen from her before this! I love this little girl!
