We were trying to head out the door one day and after putting Noah in his car seat I went into the other room to grab something. I came back to find this:
"Look Mom," the kids said, "it's King Noah!"
Speaking of royalty, we have a lot of "bossy-bosses" in our house. Brandon has trained Hailey and Tanner not to get up until 7:00 a.m.; they will, however get up to check the kitchen clock to see how early/late it is. Hailey informed us the other day that she always sends Tanner out to check the clock "because," she says with a smile, "he is my servant."
I'm drinking soy milk these days to help with Noah's reflux. Hailey and Tanner love the stuff and want some every time they see me drinking it (we tell them that it's just for Mommy). Well, Tanner saw me putting it on my cereal and in his cutest two-year-old voice says, "Mom, here's my big deal, you (and points) share some of your soy milk wif me (points to self)! That's my big deal. Okay?" I caved pretty quickly with that request.
My favorite word that Tanner says, "icker-ish" (licorice).
My favorite thing that Hailey says, "Yes, Mama." Music to my ears.
Hailey lost her two front teeth within two days of each other. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that it happened the week after Christmas and not the week before. Brandon thought I was crazy, but come on, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to sing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth," and actually mean it! Oh well, the Tooth Fairy came regardless. (But after finding two quarters under her pillow again Hailey complained, "Two quarters? Why does the Tooth Fariy always only bring quarters?" Maybe next time the Tooth Fairy will bring two pennies instead.)
We went bowling the day after Christmas. It's fun going bowling with the kids because we have the excuse to use bumpers! (It turns out that bowling on the Wii doesn't really translate to real world.)
Noah is almost six months old and continues to make us smile! It's hard to not smile at this chunky baby!
