It seems that coming home after some time away has caused us to realize just how much our boys have grown up lately. There's something about seeing them doing new things in the old familiar environment that has brought me up short. I'm amazed at how much they are changing...especially baby K. He's scooting around here on his tummy now, and rolling around when that doesn't get him where he wants to go. It's only a matter of time until he crawls. We've noticed that he is responding to us in a new way, too. He has been smiling at us and cooing when we talked to him for awhile, but now he will do things to get our attention. He will make a silly face or stick out his tongue at us and crack up when we laugh. He'll pat me on the shoulder when I hug him, and dive at us with mouth wide open when we kiss his chubby cheeks. It's really alot of fun to interact with him at this stage! I wonder if that is why my house looks like it does?? The older 2 boys are developing as well, if not at such a rapid pace. Bradyn is catching on to reading all of the sudden and reads me every sign we pass, and every sentence on every box. He's getting most of the words correct, too. He always wants to know what the date is, and is constantly figuring out the time on his new watch. Hunter is a great helper. He's always willing to do a job for me, and runs back to ask what's next. He is learning to recognize the letter sounds, and likes to ask me how to spell words. They are all growing out of their clothes as quickly as I can empty the old ones out of their drawers. Our favorite form of entertainment is just watching the three children interact with each other. B & H are great at playing little games and spinning silly stories for their little brother, and you can see how much he loves them in return from his toothy(2 teeth, that is!) little grin. It is truly amazing to see our little babies growing into little individuals!!
