Catching Up

When I was in high school I was super good at writing in my journal. My senior year I pretty much wrote everyday. I could probably tell you exactly what I did on March 22, 2006. I wish I still had the desire and the interest, and the time, to write things down like I used to.. Now that I have kids, I spend my days doing puzzles, making grilled cheese sandwiches, changing diapers and watching Super Why. When the little diaper fillers finally go to bed all I want to do is sit for 20 minutes uninterrupted. I'm bummed that I don't write in my journal like I used to, and I really want to work on that, but in the mean time I'm gonna try and play catch up on what's been going on lately....

Conner is 2. And huge. 95th percentile for height and weight and his dr. is still hopeful that he'll grow into his head. 
He is such a funny little kid. He has such a fun personality and I'm still amazed at how different he is from Owen. 
He's very social and loves to play with other kids. But he's also super sensitive and cries pretty easily.
He mimics anything and everything. He'll pretty much repeat anything you say. It can be very entertaining. 
He knows most of the letters and can almost count to 5 {waaan...tuuuu...nine...four}
He and Owen kind of have their own little language, I don't know if they can really understand each other but it sounds like they're speaking the same language.
His favorite phrase is "no mine" which is a lot of fun. 






Owen is 3 and still a little behind with his speech. His dr. was worried about autism but after a few tests he said that if he does have it it's very, very mild. What he was "diagnosed" with was isolated speech delay, which his dr. isn't too worried about and said that he will grow out of it. 
He is such a sweet little man (most of the time). I absolutely love watching him play with Conner. He is such a good big brother!
He does have just a little bit of a temper. I think he gets frustrated cause he's trying so hard to talk and I have no idea what he's saying.
He is so smart. He loves doing puzzles and is starting to read. I've been teaching him the alphabet in sign language and he thinks it's the coolest thing ever. 




Other than the boys growing up, there's not really anything too exciting going on. The boys and I got to go to Arizona for Christmas and flying by myself with 2 toddlers is something that I do not want to do again. {And yes, we left Daddy alone for Christmas, he had to work anyway}
It's been a year since we have moved here and time is going by way too fast! It's hard being so far away from family, but Tome absolutely loves his job! I am so grateful that he works so hard and I'm able to stay home with the boys!
