Carrots, Boxing, and On the Move......

Meg is doing all sorts of new and exciting things that make me continue to think everyday about how much I love having two kids and how much I love the two kids God has blessed me with. New things include:

• Brody and I took Meg to her first Gymboree Music Class. She loved it and really responded to the music, dancing, and other babies. Brody loved being the helper!
• She has started raising her hands when she wants picked up and will reach out towards me when someone else is holding her.
• It is getting easier to make her smile and laugh. She has a couple of ticklish spots and it is fun to get her laughing!
• She is rolling all over the place and has started crawling slightly backwards and does a little wiggling in the forward direction.
• Current favorite songs include This Little Light of Mine, 10 Little Horses, The Wheels on the Bus, and Hush Little Baby
• She loves playing our peek a boo game and really enjoys dancing around the house to the 90s channel on TV

She loves carrots. This look on her face makes it look like she is saying, "Seriously, I want more carrots"
Carrots are yummy and messy!

Brody loves the boxing gloves daddy brought in from the garage. He is very good at it and I think he looks pretty cute!

I love how excited Brody gets when taking pictures with Meg!

How can I get over there?

I'll just roll and that will get me closer!

Wearing the dress I got her in Texas. I love this little look on her face!

Brody loves having a cartoon buddy. He is trying to get Meg hooked on Clifford.

Brody has also been doing a number of new and funny things......

• Started class on Wednesdays at Meg's Mothers Day Out and loves it. They asked if he normally hangs out by himself. I asked if he was a loner and they said no and that he plays with the other kids but a couple of times during the day he will take some time out and sit by himself. Not sure what that means, but I think it is just that he gets tired.
• His imagination has really expanded here lately. He is starting to put together funny stories that just make me wonder what in the world is going through his head. Like tonight he was pretending to be a Knight and he was killing a dragon with a drumstick. He also said he was a cowboy and needed to get his horses. And I suggested he go get his stick horse and ride on it and he said, "Mom I am a cowboy I ride cows not horses". I will go get by cow. He also said he wanted Rosco to talk and I explained to him that Rosco would never talk and only dogs on TV talk. He said he wanted Rosco to be on TV. I said that couldn't happen either. He decided he would like a new dog. I asked him what kind of new dog and he said a Macy dog that would be pink and red. No clue where that came from, but I just love it! He also loves to say that he is just teasing and pretending!
• On our way to school today we were each taking turns making animal sounds and guessing which animal it was. He made a tooting noise with his mouth and I said that isn't an animal. He said boys toots girls don't toot. He also said that big boys toot. I explained that everyone toots every once in a while. He then let the most enormous toot ever and I just died laughing. I asked if he made himself toot and he just laughed and laughed. He is certainly his daddy's child!
