My Precious Children

I am reminded daily of just how blessed I am to have such precious children. Below are some their latest "doings"

The one thing (well one of the things) that I didn't want to have my children do and swore I do try to prevent has overridden my wish...baby C has fell in LOVE with her thumb. I hate it, due to fact that I dread/don't know how to break this habit once she is older, and know the damage it can do to her mouth. I must say though, it is so adorable watching her get that thumb in her mouth and watching as it makes her so happy/content. In the end, I guess it makes me happier too, as she knows how to soothe herself. I just dread the days of learning how to stop it before it ruins her teeth.It looks as if she knows I don't want her doing it and she is "giving me the eye" and trying to hide it. Yesterday K saw her doing it for the first time and he was certain to stop this habit. He took her thumb out of her mouth and you would have thought that he hurt her the way she carried on forever. I made him deal with her fit and hold her until she stopped. I bet he will not try doing that again!

My precious girl is getting so many rolls...it is so cute! Besides her double chin and leg rolls everywhere, her little hands are beginning to look "screwed on" to her arms and her feet are getting fat.

My sunshine! This is how she greets me each AM. She is such a happy baby in the mornings and usually wakes up "talking" and playing for a long time before I ever get her. Then I get greeted with the biggest smile...it melts my heart!

Scooter...is what she has become. She scoots on her belly now like an army crawl...I am not ready for the moving days, but she is SO determined! I love her little patch of hair in the back too...this and one little spot on the top is all she has. The new hair is slowly but surely coming back (and blond)...one day I hope she has enough hair for bows.

I guess she is going to be a gymnast...this is a favorite move of hers during tummy time now. She attempts to flip herself over the boppy.
One day I am sure I will turn around and she will be completely flipped over. Yikes...this scares me...I am so scared she is going to get hurt.

When she cries, it breaks my heart. She has the best "melt your heart" expressions. She sticks that little lip out and those eyes just melt me.

Her first trip to the pool (back when the days were blazing hot...not now). She liked the water on her feet (as far as I let her get in) for a few minutes and then she was over it. Hopefully she will grow to like it more this summer, since this is one of her brother's favorite hangouts.

CR is growing up so much. I remember it wasn't too long ago that he didn't know how to "play with others". Sure he would play with them, but not interact. Now it is on...he doesn't meet a stranger. He can go anywhere and make a friend and has the best time playing. Here, he and a team member run and play before a game.

The team...minus a few players that didn't show up for team pictures. Hopefully we will get another shot before the season is over of them all. CR is LOVING playing. He asks me daily when the next practice and game is.

It brightens my heart that not only is CR learning the fundamentals of baseball but also learning to love God and others in the process.

Chilling at a ballgame...she is such a good sport (most of the time) about just getting drug around here and there in support of her brother or things that he enjoys. They so adore each other! Her eyes brighten when she sees him and she does her best to talk and play with him. He was the first person to get a chuckle out of her. I hope their love for each other continues to grow and they have a strong bond!

Okay, so some may say I am a bad mom, but CR just went to the dentist for the first time a few weeks ago. He was such a good boy and did everything he was supposed to do! He got a great report on his teeth and he looks forward to going again!
