Our life

Our life right now is routine. We wake up and eat breakfast, watch a little cartoons, then we play games, play with toys or run errands until it's time for Cole's nap. When he's sleeping, me and Hal usually do homework, dress up, or she'll watch a movie while I get some chores done or take a shower:) When Cole wakes up we have lunch, then it's time for more play time, toy time, dress up time until Brett gets home around 4:30. The kids will usually go to bed about 8:30 and then we wake up and do it all over again. Hallie: Hallie is 3 going on 13! She holds a conversation really well and is a really good helper for me when I ask her to do something. She absolutely loves going to preschool and learning new things, especially songs. She sings non stop at home and in the car(she gets that from her dad), she loves reading and her favorite books are Dr. Suess at the moment. She is so caring and loving, for example; as I finished getting dressed she saw what I was wearing and said to me: " Cute shirt mom". Her new favorite thing to do is to go on Bear Hunts with Daddy. They lay on our bed and pull the sheets up over them and then they search/hunt the animals. She loves to find the Bambi's:) We love having Hallie a part of our family and love her sweet, little spirit in our home.
the picture below was taken by Hallie. She thinks she is so grown up and can use mommy's camera unbeknownst to mom! it's Elmo!
Cole: Cole is almost 13 months and is still very hard. He is getting better at sleeping but only takes 1 nap these days. Alot of people have said " Oh, it's just a phase" but Cole has been whiny and clingy since he was 4 months old! I used to blame it on teething but I think I have just have to accept the fact that this is how he is. At least when he cries he lets me hold him while he rests his head on my shoulder. I love this moment and he just loves his mama!
He is learning new things everyday...
*cheesy face
*points to his eye when we ask him where his eye is
*knows where his nose is
* loves bubbles

Here is a picture of what Cole does best... CRY! I recently went to a baby shower for a good friend of mine and I was talking to another friend from high school and her little boy is going through the terrible 2's. She said to me, " I think Heavenly Father made our kids really cute, otherwise we would kill them!" So harsh but so true! We love our little mama's boy!

I know how you feel. Hayden is a mommas boy too. I guess we should be grateful because one day they aren't going to want anything to do with us!!!

It is hard when they're clingy, but I'm sure I'll miss it when he doesn't wang hugs any more! They are both so darling, and you're such a cute mom!
