Booger Bear & Boo Bear Theiss

My boo bear- a little over a year old and what is he up to?!?!?

-He is waving, clapping and WALKING!
-When playing he will often look back at me after he has accomplished something to make sure I saw....he gets the BIGGEST grin on his face and then turns back to continue.
-He HATES it when we leave the room
-He sleeps around 12 hours at night...goes to bed at 7pm.
-He would LOVE to take 2 naps, but since his big brother goes down at noon, mommy makes him stay up so that they will BOTH go down at the same time
-He just started standing up on his own
-He has 3 teeth fully in and one top that just broke through
-He has been going through a super fussy stage...mad at life! :)
-He loves music and loves to play his little shaking musical instruments
-He says "uh-oh" and then a bunch of other babble stuff- he might have said some other real words, but I can't tell!
-He LOVES his big bubba!
-He still has his pacifier- however, mommy is trying to phase it out
-He is sitting forward in his carseat now
-His favorite food is chicken nuggets (he has become quite the picky eater!)
-He loves outside and loves the swinging at the park
-He does great at riding in the front seat of the powerwheel
-I has QUITE A FIERCE temper....when he doesn't get his way he gets MMMMAAAADDDD!!!!


What's my Booger Bear up to?!?!?! He is a little over 2.5 years old and.......
-He is talking up a STORM! This child talks all day long, "look mommy, watch me, what's that, WHOOOAH," are some of the usual's, but he pretty much talks like a normal person except it might be hard for the normal person to understand him :)
- He LOVES to drive his "big truck". "Drive my big truck, mommy?" is what I hear EVERY-SINGLE-WAKING-HOUR! Literally :) We will be driving in the neighborhood home from Wednesday night church....it is pitch black and 8:30 at night and he will ask to drive his big truck. ha!
-He drives his truck off road to the park...super fun...and I ride my bike to keep up
-He goes to bed anywhere from 7:30-8 and wakes up around 6:30-7
-He has gone through a spell of waking up at night crying....thinking it's bad dreams
-He LOVES his little bubba, however he is entirely too rough with him right now. Pushes him over trying to rough-house and then Beckham gets hurt!
-He loves playing the instruments to music too
-He loves to pee in the grass and I will sometimes catch him trying to in public...oops...bad habit!
-He looooooves Jumpaloozas
-He is starting to get where he is not so shy at "fun" places. At Chuck E. Cheese he gave Chuck the rat a high-five...something he would never have done in the past- he would have screamed!
-He loves his room and his tent...wants everyone to go in his room
-He loves to sit on the couch and watch movies at night. This is when I get snuggle time....LOVE IT!!!


Ok, well, I think this is a good update....lovin' these boys so much I can't stand it!!!! They are SUCH a treasure to me and I am SOOO grateful that God entrusted ME and Blake with them!!!!! HEAVEN!!!

One year ago today....

Beckham,

This time, one year ago, your daddy and I were rushing around getting ready to drive to the hospital to go meet you for the very first time. It was exhilarating and scary all at the same time! Here I was- already a mother to a 20 month old and loving my life with him and just him....I couldn't imagine loving another baby as much as him and then midnight hit and it was October 8th and I heard your scream for the first time. Wow- did my life change. I will be honest- the first few months of your life you were not exactly the dream baby....however, it was amazing how even though you were so grumpy and frustrated all of the time- when you would stare at me, I would fall in love with you all over again. Then- I will never forget. We were sitting in the back seat of my car in the Wal-Mart parking lot and I was feeding you...Parker watching a movie....and you pulled off on your own and smiled at me....oh my goodness, you had me hooked! From then on you officially became my "boo bear". The easiest way for me to get you to smile was to say "boooooo" while changing your diaper. So, boo bear it was. I was even amazed at how high pitched my voice could get when I would see you. You had become the-happiest-baby-on-this-Earth....and your smile was so contagious people couldn't help but laugh when they saw you. Now, today, as I am sitting here on the eve of your 1st birthday, I can't believe it has been one solid year of Beckham! Boo- I love you more than you will ever know and I can't imagine life without you. I can't wait till morning hits and I can go grab you out of your bed and hug and kiss you on your special day. Tomorrow, Boo....it is ALL ABOUT YOU.

I LOVE YOU!!!!
Mommy
