Memories that I want to last Forever

The whole point to this blog was to record memories of my little ones that may otherwise get lost in my mommy brain or fade over time. These are just a few of those memories that I want to last forever...

Tyson
You are such a smart little guy. You love to listen in on conversations and then repeat them later while asking questions. :-) You are fantastic in math. You love to read every sign or piece of paper that we come across, yet you do not enjoy sitting down to read a book without some pushing from mommy and daddy. You have a lanyard that you got from your teacher (from the prize box) that you have attached a key to the back door on that you wear everyday. A few months ago, you made your own "keypad" to access your room. You always punched in your secret code before you went in- every.single.time. Mommy and daddy made you take it down when we put the house on the market- we did not think that potential buyers would know the code. :-) You love to ride your bicycle and your rip stick and you really love to play basketball. You are very good at all three. You are wearing size 8 in pants, 8- 10 in shirts and size 1 shoes. You fall asleep between 8 and 8:30 every night and wake up each morning between 6:45 and 7 am.

Landon
You have progressed so much with your speech this year. You also love to play outside on your bike, scooter and ripstick. You are really enjoying Kindergarten, but you also really love the weekends when you get to have a "sleep over" in Tyson's room- even though he usually makes you sleep on the floor. :-) You love to play with your big brother and do whatever he does. You are also very good in math (probably because of all of the time you spend with Tyson) and you enjoy playing video games on your Nintendo Playstation. You wear size 5- 6 in pants and shirts and size 12 shoes. You like to stay up late at night, and mommy and daddy have to make you go to sleep most nights between 8:30 and 9. You like to sleep until 7 in the morning most days.

Peyton
You are getting to be such a big boy! You love to mimic things that you see other people doing. One of your favorite things to do is to sit in front of the guinea pig's cage and watch him play. You also like to stand at the window and watch things happening outside. One of your favorite treats is when you get to play outside on the trampoline. You also like to have mommy or daddy hold you up to the basketball goal and shoot a basket. You and your sissy hold hands in the car sometimes, it is so sweet. You are not enjoying your naps so much these days, even though you still really need them. You have started napping only one time each day- usually for an hour or 90 minutes in the morning. You are small for your age, so you are still wearing size 12 months in shorts (usually the waist still has to be folded over), and you can wear 12- 18 months in shirts. You have finally transitioned to 18 months sized pants, but the waists definitely have to be folded over in order to keep them on your waist. You are wearing size 5 shoes. You love to take your shoes and socks off in the car, and you love to play with your toes. You have a toy slide that you really enjoy playing on as well.

Chloe
You are such a pretty little lady with a great personality. You wear a hair bow everyday, although recently you have decided these bows make for a great snack. You are crawling all over the place and love to play in the bathroom drawers. You pull up on all of the furniture and doors, but you do not seem to be very interested in learning how to walk. You love all of your big brothers and relish any attention that you can get from them. You take two naps a day, the first one is in the morning and it usally lasts from 90 minutes to two hours. Your second nap usually comes later in the afternoon and lasts for about an hour. You go to bed each night between 7:30 and 8 and then wake up early in the morning (around 5 or 5:30 am for a bottle). Then you go back to sleep until around 7 am. You wear size 9 months clothes and size 2 shoes. You also love to pull off your socks and shoes every chance you get. We have lost shoes at least twice in stores because of this habit. You love to look at yourself in the mirror. You are also very chatty- you talk all the time although you don't really have any real words in your repetoire yet. You do not like baby food anymore- you would prefer that we cut whatever we are eating up for you and place it on your tray so that you can feed yourself. You are a very good eater. :-)
