LIFE: As We Now Know It

Two little boys rule my life. . . And I LOVE it!

Isaac is growing and learning new words so fast that we can't seem to keep up with his new vocabulary! Just this morning I couldn't figure out what "Babo" meant and he was getting a tad frustrated. He is maturing into his new role of BIG BROTHER, and 18 month old toddler. It has him acting so BIG one minute and then very much "his age" the next. Eric and I will be sent into rolls of laughter from one antic and then the next minute into a "testing of patience" the next. Isaac also keeps me very busy at home! Here is a list of his accomplishments, just from this morning:
  • Lost his toothbrush, somewhere in the house.
  • Took apart a calculator, battery and all. It took Mom twice as long to put it back together!
  • Discovered the fun of toilet water (Why are toilets made so accessible to toddlers? They need locks!)
  • Loves to play in the trash cans; especially the one in the bathroom. Gross!! (Again, why are trashcans made with "fun" lids and so low to the ground!)
  • Blew kisses to Mommy from my high chair.
  • Pointed to the fly in the house and said "Bug!"
  • While Mommy was "predisposed" with the baby, emptied the diaper bag and the Tupperware cupboard.
  • Told me he was "Grunt (sound)! Poopoo." when I asked about his stinky diaper smell. Great! First of many to change for the day.
  • Wants to go "Bye-bye" when our neighbor stopped by to drop off some mail. And also wanted to go out for the mail when he heard the mail truck drive by.
  • He also loves to kiss and pat his little brother. Saying "Waa Waa" and "Ahhhh" for baby and gentle. (He can also say "Bebe" but when Evan cries tells me "Waa Waa, Bebe")
  • Can't get enough of "Balloons" and "Bubbles"!! Too bad his huge bubble wand was dumped just the other day, inadvertently by his own doing.

Snuggles with Dad.
Bubbles!!
Special day (1 day before Evan was born) with Mom and Dad to Red Robin. We never go out to eat, so this was a special day that was just the 3 of us! And a Balloon!
Cupboard fun!!
My new wagon.

Evan's accomplishments this morning:
  • Eating.
  • Pooping.
  • Giving Mommy a smile when I coo and talk to him!
  • Sleeping.
Mommy and Evan's hands.
Tiny basket, full of a tiny blessing.
Small enough to fit inside Dad's Nationals hat. Isaac's infant hat looks huge beside Evan, too.
Thanks for the newborn outfit, Alicia. One of two that actually fit!

Tell me, who has a better life? God's richest blessings continue to amaze, bless and confound me.
