Marshall has been loving writing lately. He has really progressed in his ability since these pictures but I loved him all by himself making lists, writing letters and words. it is so sweet! He loved the letter E this day and adding lots of sticks to them all. So cute!
Baylor loves his little brother and always wants to hold him.
We cut down the huge tree in front of our house. It was so big that you couldn't even see the house behind it. It was a fun event to go and watch it happen, even though we only made it for the last bit. We had them cut the stumps into appropriate sizes for having stools. We are excited to keep these for use for all of our kids along our front and back porches. It was fun to have the tree guy counting the rings from the tree with the kids. There were 45 rings!
At the zoo we loved spending time watching the baby gorilla! This baby is exactly 3 months older then Deakin. At this time I think that Kimani was 8 months and Deakin was 5 months. Deakin was quite a bit bigger then her but she was definitely more capable, climbing around and holding onto her mother. It was fun to watch and relate to these amazing animals.
Baylor has learned a new trick for being happy. With a pencil in your lips it helps to mimic the muscles used in a smile, along with raising the eyebrows, your brain thinks that you are smiling and produces happy hormones. Paul had been using this trick on grumpy girls at times and Baylor was frequently doing it as well. Baylor trying it made the rest of us smile, so he really knew a good trick for bringing happiness, be so incredibly cute!
We had hardwood floor throughout our rental house, so when the carpet went in and Deakin could roll around on a soft surface, he was really happy about it. It was so fun to see him be able to happily explore further without bashing his little face on the hard floor.
These guys were working on a push-up challenge a little while ago. So they spent some time seeing what they could still do. And showing off their Booms afterwards, of course.
We were eating supper and there was one last section of bread that no one else wanted after supper, can you guess why?
For a service we wrote Thank you notes to our contractor, telling him how grateful we are for the ahrd work that he has put into making our house for us. Marshall was very proud of his writing and was so happy to deliver it to Luke. He had many proper letters written but would write them out of order, all over the page.
Some of these cute little shenanigans that happen at our house. Climbing, cuddling, dressing up as a hot dog, all having fun together.
This day Marshall was trying to tell me that though he had eaten a lot he was still hungry. He is saying here, "Look Mom, there is still more room!" He is such a funny boy, and yes, he always does seem to have more room for food!
