This Week's Favorites

This summer, my poor 18 year old brother had to put up with our little family... me on bed rest, Daniel working and two very active little kids (and then a crying newborn a month later).  He, more than once, commented on how he now has no desire to have kids.  But sometimes, my kiddos do the cutest things and I think to myself, "this is why you have kids".  I am sure that my brother will have kids one day (though I hope it is a little ways off) because he is just such an awesome uncle and my kids just adore him.  Anyway, here are my favorites for this week....

Favorite Ellieism--- "Oh no Owen, we don't touch spiders, they're itsy bitsy".

"I'm a stinky boy!"  This is what Owen says now every time he needs a diaper change.  Poor guy, I guess we should have taught him something more like "diaper change" but instead this is what he picked up on.  It really does give us a little chuckle when he walks around "I'm a stinky boy, stinky boy, I'm a stinky boy!"

The smiles!  Oh my goodness, you can be holding this little sweetheart and look down and she is just smiling away.  She loves to smile and interact.  She now has gotten where she will just stare and follow mom and dad with her eyes.  That look like, "you are my world!".  I love this baby.
