My two little darlings keep me on my feet to say the least.
Avery isn't officially walking. But she has taken a couple steps on her own more than once. She walks along everything and crawls faster than I have seen a human crawl in recent memory.
It's so fun to see her develop a little personality and change each day. She has two teeth on bottom and one lonely 'giant' tooth on top. She understands she she is being funny now and laughs at herself. She says 'dad' and 'mom' and 'ya.'
"Avery are you so pretty?" .... "Ya"
When Jared opens the front door after work she instantly crawls towards the stairway saying " dad dad dad" before she even sees him.
She loves to snuggle and would be held all the time if she had it her way most days. She is such joy. If I could freeze her cute little self I would....love this stage :).
Caden is entertaining us with his quick whit and things he is saying these days. He is also playing and imagining and creating independently a lot lately which is fun to see.
Tonight he was crying that his legs hurt. I am guessing growing pains. Jared and I both had then badly when we were little. I told him he was probably growing. "I don't want to grow then," he cried to me.
Later when Jared was putting him to bed he said "daddy I don't want to be four anymore because it makes my legs hurt." Sweet boy!
We are still working on finishing up our kitchen cupboards getting painted so things are all over the place right now. I had our knife block sitting on the table the other day while that part of the kitchen was being painted. I sat Cw down with his lunch at the table right by it. A few minute later I hear from the dining room "mom who these knives out here? That's not a good idea to have knives by me."
He has always liked showers and takes thren quite a but with Jared. Well last week Jared put a shower head in our main bathroom tub, which we hadn't had for a long time. Caden is thrilled by it and likes to take showers in there himself now. He tells everyone about the "head shower" his dad put up for him. Haha.
He other night Jared and caden were in the garage while Jared painted. Jared dropped something and accidentally said 'darn it' .... But not 'darn it' if you get my drift :). Jared told Caden he was sorry he said that and it's never okay to use that word. "It's okay dad, grandpa says that when he is working on stuff." Haha. Oh the honesty of a four year old :).
He loves his time wth grandpa. My dad is sweet about using his Friday afternoons off to hang with Caden when he can. One day I was explaining to him that grandpa was going to take him the next day when he got off work. Finally Caden interrupts and says, "wait you mean Dana right!?" Love it!
Well that's a few stories I wanted to share tonight. Here's to hoping I do this again soon.
