My kids are SO CUTE!!

Ok, so I brag a lot, but I really do think my kids are the cutest ever! I hope I have tons more just like them!

Lately, they've been doing some super cute things. Aaron says "oh yes" and "oh no" all the time. Here's an example.

Mom: Aaron, would you like a banana?
Aaron: Oh Yes Yes!
or
Mom: Should we turn the TV off now?
Aaron: Oh no! We don't want to do that!

We don't know where the "OH" came from, but it's pretty adorable!



His latest amazing feat is that he truly has learned how to tell time. He can look at the big clock on the wall, and with just a little help from me, can tell me what hour it is, and what the minute is and then tell me what time it is.

His other cute thing lately, is that when he sees something that he wants that someone else has, he suddenly wants to share. He understand what sharing is, but he now wants to share what other people have, not what he has. This lesson is obviously still a work in progress.

Brian has his share of adorableness too. Recently, when he smiles at us he also raises up his shoulders...scrunching them together. It just makes his smiles all the more precious!



Also, he is one of the easiest babies to put to bed. (most of the time!) We give him his milk, then his pacifier, then we lay him down in his crib. He lays on his back with his arms stretched above his head and says through his pacifier "night night." We love it!

Brian had his 18 month doctor appointment this week (we are so excited to send him to nursery at church tomorrow) and the doctor said he was perfect! His head measurements were in the 50-75% (slightly higher than average). His height was in the 75-90% (he's pretty tall). His weight was 30.5 lbs which is in the 90-95% (so he's a chunk!) Aaron was also weighed on the same scale and was 34.5 lbs. Despite being 2.5 years apart, they only weigh 4 lbs different!

In other news, my dad is still in the hospital (2 weeks now) but hopefully will be able to come home sometime soon. He continues to respond well to the treatments they give him and while there continue to be problems, everything is being worked on and we pray he continues to grow stronger everyday. The kids are doing great as we drive to the hospital constantly and they behave very well in the family waiting room.

Yes they are! Love seeing the photos and hearing about your cute family. That's crazy that Aaron can tell time (but not surprising considering his toddler super-powers).

We also send our thoughts and well wishes for your father and his quick recovery.

How did nursery go? I'm such a scatter brain at church, I forgot to ask. I'm actually even forgetting people's names. Someday my hormones will relinquish control of my brain. We need to talk pre-school.
