Things I want to remember...

It's October, the leaves are starting to change, and the weather is finally cooperating. Jack has started childcare and Dustin is back to work after 3 weeks of vacation, and we're settling into our grove and reality as a family of four. As we enter another season I wanted to record some memories of things I want to remember at this moment in life. 

#1 Gummy Smiles 

I just don't know if there's much better than gummy smiles and baby giggles. Right now Jack is full of both of them! He loves when you kiss his cheeks by his neck and just giggles away. The best sound of the world! 

#2 Sammy's Giving Spirit

Sammy loves, loves, loves the teachers in his life. He is always trying to pack treats to take to them at preschool, or at his babysitter's home. I'll catch him shopping in the pantry and he'll say, "But mommy, my teacher LOVES these!" I love how thoughtful and generous he is. 

#3 Morning Stretches

One of the things babies know how to do well is to luxuriate in a stretch. When Jack starts waking up for the day he'll scrunch his body into a ball and raise his arms up around his head. Then he'll do a big stretch length-wise, then he'll do another stretch to the other side. We all need to take notes from the babies and stretch more. 😉

#4 Sammy's dinnertime antics 

Sammy loves to play a prank, and does them every night at dinner. His favorite thing to do is to wait for Dustin to get up from the table, then he swaps their plates, or cups or silverware. The funny part is that Dustin is very aware of what Sammy is doing but still manages to act surprised for him every.single.night.. Haha! Another prank he often plays is setting a stuffed animal in someone's chair - that way instead of sitting on a chair you'll end up sitting on a stuffy. He cackles and thinks he is the FUNNIEST in the world when he plays his pranks. 

That's a little update from our home. XX
