Harrison:
Harrison started the year just about to turn 2 years old. He could speak pretty well but the biggest change that I've noticed in him in the past year has definitely been in this area. He is so fun to listen to because he uses a bunch of phrases that always catch me off guard. Its so hard to believe how much he picks up just from listening to us. Some of his favorites right now are "maybe", "probably", "now we're cookin'!", which usually sounds like "now we're tookin'!", "make me like a bug"...his way of saying "snug as a bug in a rug"...it took me a while to figure out what he was asking for this. I didn't realize it, but when he gets out of the bath tub, when I wrap him up in his towel I always say "snug as a bug in a rug!". My other favorite phrase is "four minutes". This one cracks me up because what he means to say is "for a minute"....as in, "hold this for a minute", or "I'll be back in a minute"...he uses "four minutes" for both of these..."I will be back four minutes". He also likes to use his manners...he will say "no ma'am, no thank you". Yesterday he wanted me to play with his remote control bulldozer with him so he had put 2 of his chairs right next to each other. He sat down in one and said, "mommy, you can sit here (pointing to his other chair), if you like!". I just smiled and thought...he sounds like such a grown up!!Harrison also likes to say the blessing at dinner. He learns a new one each month at school so I try to do the prayer of the month, but his favorite is "God our father, God our father, we thank you, we thank you, for our many blessings, for our many blessings, a-men, a-men". Anytime I try to say a different one, he always says that he wants to say this one instead. I think its because he knows all the words..I need to get a video of him singing this, because it is so sweet.
Harrison's favorite songs right now are the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. His favorite foods are buttermints, skittles, candy canes, gummies, chicken nuggets and french fries. These are all usually special treats, but if it were his choice, he wouldn't eat anything else.
November 2009
Davis made his big entrance halfway into 2010, but has totally shaken things up around here. He clearly likes to be noticed, considering he made his debut on July 4th. He is such a sweet baby and LOVES to be held! Even though he has only been here for 6 months, he has changed so much and is growing way too fast! Right now Davis loves to lay on his tummy. its so funny to me how different the two boys are. Harrison learned to flip from his stomach to his back very early on but didn't flip from his back to his stomach until pretty late. Davis on the other hand, will only flip from his back to his stomach. He loves to be on his belly and now sleeps that way every night.
His most recent achievement, is that his teeth are starting to come in. His bottom 2 teeth came in on Jan 3rd and I have a feeling that the top ones will be coming through any day now. Because of this, he loves to chew on anything and everything. His favorite thing seems to be washcloths. Anytime he is in the bathtub, he grabs the washcloth immediately and starts screaming if you try to take it away. I simply can't help but laugh when he does this! I think his gums are bothering him, because he has not been wanting to eat much solid food lately. I brought out the food teether and have been putting bananas and homemade teething biscuits inside and he LOVES it! I hope he is at least getting a few nutrients this way since he isn't wanting to eat very much.
Davis' favorite activities right now seem to be jumping around in his exersaucer and watching his big brother. Harrison is so sweet with him and Davis just can't get enough of him. Harrison is always climbing all over him and hugging him...everytime I see him doing this, I always think Davis is going to start screaming, but he usually starts cracking up laughing. Davis is starting to learn how to sit up and can do it with a boppy behind him. I know babies grow so fast, but I just wish I could slow time down a little! I love this phase and I know it is just going too quickly. I am trying to soak it all in and I am just so thankful that I am able to spend my days with my boys, watching them grow and learn!
Here are a few pictures of Davis from July to now:
