Cupcake is such a ham! she just loves to make everyone laugh. If she does anything that makes you laugh she will keep doing so because she enjoys laughter. Cupcake is really trying to crawl. Her teachers in Sunday school tell us every week how impressed they are with her motor skills. She definitely knows what she wants and will not let anything like crawling get in her way. She will roll and scootch on her tummy to get to her toys. She enjoys getting in on the action and watching Sweet Pea play with his toys, she even takes them away from him!

At my 4 month Dr visit I was 15lbs 3 ounces and 25.75 inches long.


Baby dedication.

A few weeks back we had Sweet Pea and Cupcakes Baby dedication. Sadly this is one of the only pictures we could find. It was a fun event. Sweet Pea loved being in front of everyone. He did not get to see Papa before the dedication started, however during prayer he found him in the audience and yelled "Papa! Papa!" and tried to jump out of mommy's arms. Once the prayer was over there was another prayer and during this time I decided to turn him away from the crowd to avoid any distractions. Then suddenly he starts yelling out "Baby!" Baby!" Baby was in Daddy's arms but not in Sweet Peas line of sight so it was not until after the dedication that I found out that Cupcake was on the big screen behind us! So much for avoiding distractions. Regardless it was very cute and Cupcake and Sweet Pea just looked adorable!

Lots of catching up...

It is official Sweet Pea is now ridding in his car seat like a big boy! We waited as long as we could (23mo.) and now he just loves his new ride. Sweet Pea enjoys counting the cars as they pass. Although he can count to 10 great, 14 ok, and 20 with help there always seems to be 1,2,3 cars and no more.
Things I can do:
Tell you my name, The state I live in, my dogs name and my sisters name, I can sing my ABC's to G clearly,count to 14 (with the exception of 11) and 20 with help, I am very curious and always ask,"What's that sound?" "What's this?" "Where's Pillow?" "Oh, NO!" "Oh Man!" I always say "Pleazzzzzze." and "Tint To." (thank you) to name a few and our least favorites are:
"That's mine." and "I want it."
What Sweet Pea is learning about God:
To combat the "That's mine." phrase we tell him "No, that's Gods." We want him to grow up already knowing that everything he has is a gift from the Lord and thus belongs to Him. He knows the difference between his books and three Bible's. He can also recite Mathew 22:37 with help. This is the first scripture we felt he should learn.
