Jake -
Loves
the mix, belly laughs at kids, His first word is woof woof and it is the
most adorable thing because he pushes his lips out and has the most
serious face when he does the woof woof - calls dogs woof woof, He is a weird
eater man - he chews food and then gets more interested in another piece
of food on his tray so then he spits it all out and goes for the other
food and doesn’t swallow much. zerbits on belly, cah cah cah - come on is his
chant and even the other kids say it and jeff will say cah cah cah and the
kids will yell come on then jeff says cah cah cah, crawling regular now but
did army crawl first for 3 months, crawls into pantry and pulls cereal
down to eat it, obsessed with playing with any balls, likes to play and
crawl with scout, says momma dadda and woof woof, obsessed with reading
books but he likes to turn the pages the best, when jeff comes home he
power crawls to jeff shouting dada, loves when jeff gets his “finggies” which means pretend biting them - really gumming his
fingers and he belly laughs, kids want to crawl into his crib every
morning and jake doesn’t like it he wants just momma to get him out of his
crib, he is the biggest cuddler when you hug him on your shoulder he rests
his head on your shoulder and hugs back, he will usually go to any
adult and hug them and put his head down on their shoulder, Lydia and Luke
love picking jake up and trying to carry him but Jake usually gets sick of
it quickly, jake is an extremely happy and easy baby, he had strep a few
weeks ago but was still a trooper and recovered quickly, Jake loves
playing with tags in between his fingers when he is tired especially the
ones on his wubanubs, when he is super tired and wants to go to bed he
lays on my shoulder and makes a hmmmm hmmm sound and i make it back and he
copies me and we do this over and over until he is ready for his crib,
when daddy puts you to sleep he whispers in your ear “i love you so very
much, get a good sleepy, see you in the morning”, RIDING THE BULL is the
cutest thing - Jeff holds him on his hip and Jeff puts his hand up and
then Jake puts his up like he is riding a bull and they bounce up and down
and jake laughs and loves it, he destroys all his shirts by being the
messiest eater

Luke -
scared to
poop because it hurt one time so we have to force him to sit on the toilet and
go. Jeff is the only one that can make him go - sometimes it is 4/5 days
without going, he says - is eet gonna hooort (hurt), Rules dookey, super into
routine and gets mad if something is done outside of normal routine and wants
to go back and do it over - like if I’m not in my bed when he wakes up he
throws a fit and pulls me back into my bed then we can get up, if he doesn’t
get enough sleep he is crazy exhausted and loses it at the end of the day, he
refuses naps but sometimes is tired enough to fall asleep in my bed or on jeff,

his hands off of him even when he tries, in the superstar room and ms amy is

Lydia -
Cuppie, cake of
cup, lost her front tooth and has a lisp and looks adorable! Obsessed with
singing, music, excited for piano lessons and practicing, first grade spelling
and reading words are beyond easy for her and i am having to figure out how to
challenge her with other work. she is extremely motherly, nurturing but with
that comes bossing boys a little but always for the good! she reads so very
well - at least a 2nd grade level maybe even 3rd grade. she is starting to help
by bringing dishes over and making her bed. She usually listens really well but
she can talk back about everything and thinks she knows it all already. she is
very talented at soccer and her competitive nature makes her want to be in the
game all the time. She has many playdates and love doing lemonade stands. She
is very independent and showers herself and puts her hair up herself. she likes
me to help her get dressed for school in the morning because she is so tired,
she loves bringing her purse everywhere. she likes wearing makeup and stick on
earrings. She loves walking to and from school with Luka, Abbey, and Isabella.
At night we cuddle in her bed and she reads a page then I read a page and so
on. She is always loving hugging and kissing on daddy and mommy. She asks the
most interesting and advance questions - always. She is very good, competitive
and kind at soccer. She is extremely loving toward God and Jesus and is always
praying and talking about Jesus and His lessons. She loves buying lunch at
school and her favorite meal is breakfast for lunch. She really wants mommy to
go to every field trip and be at every school volunteer opportunity. She
radiates everything wonderful that could be!
