WHAAAAAAT?

I occurred to me this morning that you all are in SERIOUS NEED of a kiddo update!  And while I do need to update you all on he rest of our summer, this seems more important to me right now... more for my own recollection and documentation! So here we go!

Christopher is 3 years and almost 4 months!  And while he does have a rotten streak sometimes, he does have to sweetest tendencies.  He is about to be enrolled in school since his speech is delayed.  But Dr.s think school will be great for him, and give him he extra push he needs that I can't give him.  He is going to love it!!!  He also loves anything that has to do with cooking!  He also loves to draw on his magna doodle.  And with the help of modern technology, he has even gotten to sit down and draw with his aunt Kiki and Nana.  His vocabulary, though behind, really seems to be blossoming!  He loves to go to school and church to see friends! Helping out mom (that is my name now... not Mama) is a natural for this boy! He really loves to pretend he is Gopher! They are quite cute when they sit and beg for food!  Here are his stats:
  • He weighs in at 37 lbs (still)
  • He is 38 inches tall
  • His favorite meal is PB&J with carrots and goldfish
  • His other favorite foods are corn on the cob, beans, cookies (obviously), capri sun, pop tarts, broccoli, bell peppers, and anything that has to do with blueberries.
  • I can rarely get him to eat meat.  But I have learned if it is covered in BBQ sauce, it is as good as gone!
  • He has stipped taking a bath but still has a quiet time every day.
  • He really doesn't have a favorite TV show since we limited tv to couple of hours a week.
  • His favorite movies are WALL-E, The Rescuers, and Finding Nemo
  • He still loves Angie, but his WOOBIE is a thing of the past!!!
  • He is still terrified to get his hair cut
  • He is 100% left handed.
  • He no longer wants to be called Christopher...it is Chris. And that breaks my heart.
And now for some Chris pics...
 Could he be any sillier?!

 Shaving cream letters
I let him choose his new sunglasses and he chose these! He is going to land a role in the new Breakfast club remake for sure!  (and no they are not remaking it...Im just saying.)

And now Henry....

I am happy  to announce that Hank has been sleeping through the night for a while now, I just didn't want to jinx it.  He is a real snuggle bug!   He loves all stuffed animals and toys he shouldn't play with.  Jumping is also a favorite!  And he absolutely adores Christopher!   I think he might be smaller than Chris.  He is 100% mobile now and while it sill takes him a while to get from A to B he is picking up speed daily.  He has started eating table foods and couldn't be happier!!!  His favorite so far is wheat bread! He said Mama yesterday 8-24-11 and his uncle Josh got to hear him on the phone!  He is long overdue for his first haircut, but are having a hard time letting go.  Now for his stats:
  •  He weighs 18lbs and 2 oz
  • He is 25 inches long
  • His favorite food is anything I am eating.  But bread and baby cheese puffs are his loves!
  • He does not like grapes.
  • Miller is still his #1 gal although Farly the Frog is pulling a VERY close second.
  • He has 2 full teeth on the bottom and 2 top teeth that started breaking through 2 days ago.
  • He is completely right handed.  
  • He loves to spit when he sun is coming through the windows, so he can see it catch the light.  It is very gross but soooooo funny!
  • He pushes his lips out like a kiss and breathes really fast through his nose when he is excited!
  • His favorite toy is the door stopper in the hallway that going BOING
  • He naps twice a day once around 9 am and then again around 1 pm
  • He will fall asleep a the drop of a hat if he is snuggling his daddy.
And now for pictures!

Playing with the door stopper
 Dr. Hardin at your service!
Loving the morning sunshine is a daily routine here!

He really loves baths in the sink!  Can you tell?

As you can imagine, life with two boys is crazy craziness!  Never the less, here is a long overdue video update!  I promise to do a for real, pictures included, update in the next 24 hours... maybe.

The other day I had so many things to do, but I just couldn't pull myself away from these guys.  And I totally think it was worth it!




Henry has been crawling for a few weeks now, but I am just now getting around to putting up some videos.  (I know, "Horrible Mother of the Year" nominee right here..)  When trying to get Hank on the move we found the best tempter was Miller!
