Denver James

My precious Denver James- I love you so big and so deep.  It's pretty special staring at my last baby...taking it all in.  So what are some things I'm cherishing?

Sticking my face in yours when you sleep and smelling that sweet newborn breath. Some of my favorite times are rocking you while you sleep...staring and snuggling you my sweet tiny baby boy.

You are smiling big now- I love sitting and talking to you...one of my favorite things to do- while you coo and "talk" back to me.

This bear...you love this bear.  The other day I put you down on your boppy pillow with your bear while I put your big brothers to sleep and you fell asleep!  I just about died.  So precious ❤️❤️❤️

You are my little sunshine and I'm so grateful to the Lord for you.  My littlest- my baby.

My Jett

Jett is 19 months old and is such a joy to this family.  What is he up to?

-He calls his oatmeal "muck" or "nuck"

-He loves to make "tracks" for a train out of anything...blocks, candy boxes, anything :)

-He talks SO much.  So he walks around pointing at things and saying their name..."big big truck, mommy, choo choo, Abby"

-he pointed at my kitchen aid mixer and said "choo choo!!"  Haha- see pic below- I guess I can see it

Jett E. Pants at 16 months

-When you ask him what a lion says he whispers "roar".

-When you ask him if he wants cheese he says "cheeeeeeeeese???"...it's so cute.

-Anytime you need him to walk to you just ask him to give you a high five and he will come running (see pic below)

-he always has to give daddy a bite of what he's eating (see pic below) and he makes the "o" face while doing it too.

- he's tall enough to stand on a stool while I cook 

-he uses his lawn mower now!

-when I sing "5 little ducks" he says his part of "quack quack"

Jett E. Pants Update

Ok- it's been a long time since I did a Jett update!!  He is now 14 months old and what is this cute and precious boy up to?

This is him saying "yay!!!!!"...except he says "ayyyyyyy!!!".  

His words:
Hot, on, cup ("UP"), more ("mowwww?"), woofs when we see a dog, Sancho and Abbie, after we pray over our dinner we all squeeze our hands 3 times and say "I love you"...he will squeeze his hands and say "ah, ah, ah", truck, choo choo, hi, up, yay ("ayyyyy!!!"), uh-oh, help ("ep!"), eggs ("eeeeeee-s?), and bath ("baaaaa?").  He typically puts and question mark at the end of everything!  haha!

-He waves at cars when they drive by and says "hiiiii".
-He knows where his belly button is
-Plays peek-a-boo
-He LOOOOVES books

-He walks, but doesn't chose to walk, he wants to crawl and push his little train instead.  If you stand him up he will walk back and forth between things- but still doesn't just WALK.

-He loves to turn on and off lights and to push the garage door opener
-He loves to feed the dogs his food
-He loves music and will dance to any music he hears
