Back in October I decided to get the kid's photos taken by a professional in lieu of school pictures. Honestly I'm so glad I did! For the same price as buying the smallest package of school photos times three, I have beautiful pictures of the kids. I'm going to include some little stories about the kids that I want to remember.
Ava has this fun little game that she plays with Owen. She asks him questions like: What's your name and What's your favorite letter. He loves to make the O sound, so he usually responds with that. She cheers and praises him and he smiles and giggles back at her.
She loves to draw with oil pastels right now. There are pictures all over our house. Her hands seem to be permanently stained red or black.
She loves to "baby-sit" her little brother. If he is fussing while I'm cooking dinner or completing another task she will run over to him. Without even being asked she will sing to him, smile at him and play with him. I thank you so much Ava, this is more helpful than you know!
You were heartbroken recently when you found out that your best friend was moving to California. You insisted that the only solution to this problem was for our family to move to California. Unfortunately I had to disappoint you, one day you will understand.
What does Owen like? Well, like all my babies he loves to stare at the ceiling fan. If I put you under the Christmas tree you will kick and stare at the lights and sparkles and be so very content.
So far you have been pretty good in the car. I know this is mainly because you aren't mobile yet and are content to sleep in the car. But on our recent trip to Pittsburgh we were stuck in traffic and you began to fuss. There was no where to pull over and I told Mike "I'm about to do something I would have never done with the first three." I pulled up you tube and had some Sesame Street clips running for him to watch. It kept him happy and we didn't have to listen to him scream. At one point I took my phone away to adjust the volume and he let out a huge scream! Well, television for a baby is not going to be a regular thing, but it worked well in a pinch.
You are growing so big. I think I'm going to be putting away the six month old sleepers soon.
In Pittsburgh you were passed around from person to person. You were so content and fell asleep on a few different family members. Everyone remarked what an easy going baby you were and so content. I have to agree!
