New Every Morning: July 2013

Okay, I cannot believe that Sam is one and Jonah will be 3 in just a couple weeks! Crazy!

Some updates on each cutie:

Jonah- He is most definitely in the "why" stage. My day is filled with constant questions. "Mommy, what is that truck doing? Why is it sitting there? What's it called? Where is it going?" All. Day. Long. He loves to watch movies and cuddle up and read. Jonah likes doing "science experiments" like baking soda/vinegar, playing with food coloring, etc. He also has started learning how to sound out words. He plays pretend constantly. He is our helper with Sammy, yelling things like, "Heading for the Jackie water (the dog's bowl)! Heading for the toilet! Heading for the door!" So helpful. He also He is super excited about his upcoming birthday party! Whenever we hurt ourselves, Jonah says, "I'm sorry that happened." So sweet. He is a sweet, cuddly, smart, adorable kid.

Samuel- This one is LOUD! He often yells in the middle of dinner, then goes right back to eating. It's a happy yell, so it's actually pretty funny. He loves to read. He'll bring a book, saying "buh! buh!", put it in our hands, then turn around and plop down in our lap to hear the story. He loves to eat, as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures! He adores his brother, calling him "bubba" and following him around all day. He can climb on anything and everything. He protests loudly when he's told no or if Jonah takes a toy from him. (He's also very strong and stubborn!) He now says "mama," "dada," "bubba," "bah" (ball), "buhsh" (brush), and some animal sounds. At the end of a prayer, he starts yelling "ameh" for "amen." One of his hobbies is lifting up the shirt of any one of us laying down and blowing raspberries on our bellies. He'll lift his shirt and giggle if you ask where his belly is. He keeps us entertained and on our toes!

We got their birthday pictures made a couple of weeks ago and these are some of my favorites:

Sweet;
