Here come the words

 

Tuesday the words just started flowing. I have been waiting for 20 month old E. to start saying words and it is finally happening. We were at Lowes on Tuesday and he found the confidence to say all kinds of animal sounds. A duck says "Ack Ack". A dog says, "Ooof Ooof". This includes a lot of bouncing up and down. A cow says, "Mooooooooo" and I love how his mouth forms this one. A Bear says, "Wrarrrrrrr". So does a lion and dinosoar, in case you were wondering.

We are working on B this week in tot school. He says air (bear), ubbles (bubbles) and all (ball). Mama and addy (daddy) are being said all the time now, along with Anna (sister).

I was so young with "Anna" and had so much going on that I just didnt stop to really remember this time with her. I know I enjoyed the things that she said, but remembering them is another thing. Thank goodness that we have blogs now, so I can capture these moments along with photos.

I adore these two kiddos. This picture was taken on the day that he clearly said Anna for the first time. He also likes to copy everything she does. She dances, he dances. She lies on the floor and he lies on the floor. How fun. I just wanted to capture these few moments before they went away. I love my monkeys!!!!

Faith

This weeks photo challenge at jillsamterphotography is on  Faith!  What does it mean to have faith?  I think to be like a child.  My sweet son trusts me completely.  He trusts that I will be there to kiss his boo boos, to make sure his needs are cared for, to provide comfort and love.  There is no question about his faith, no doubt.  To have a child like faith in God, that is true faith to me. To never question who He is, why He does what He does.  To always listen and follow, no need to know why or where we are going.
He will always know that I love him. 


I taught him how to point to the sky when I ask him who loves him the most.  Then I say Jesus in a fun way.  He will just trust that Jesus loves him the most, because that is childlike faith. 

I heart faces "People's Choice"

This week at i heart faces the people get to choose the winner.  This by far is one of my absolute favorite photos.  I adore the imagination of children!!!  Little girls playing dress up and boys that can make anything a train track, even daddy's arm. 
He drove the train all over his daddy that night.  I looked on with a smile.  The imagination of a child, it is priceless.
