Growing Up!

SKYLER: He is my little snuggle bug. Anytime I need some cheering up, he is right there ready for a long hug. He absolutely adores babies and can’t keep his hands off of them. If there is a baby in the room, he is right there playing, mauling and kissing them. Lately he has become very persistent when he wants something. I no longer take him down the toy isles at the stores for fear of a major break down if I don’t buy him an action figure or specific toy. Skyler has become fascinated with bugs and spiders lately and makes me a little nervous every time he walks in the door yelling “come look what I found”.

JAYDEN: Jayden is my big helper. He has a few responsibilities around the house and gets paid for them on a weekly basis ( a whopping 50 cents). I told him he needed to take out the garbage and he replied he was going to quit his job. I explained that we all need to work and help out and asked what would happen if Dad quit his job. His answer was that he had plenty of money to support us and we could play all day. Wow, how would that be? Anyway, he often gets Aysia out of her crib after her nap and changes her diaper before I notice (and actually does a decent job). He starts 1st grade in 3 weeks. I am really going to miss him being around during the day.

AYSIA: I decided to take a few pictures of Aysia playing a couple of weeks ago. She is starting to look more and more like a little girl rather than a baby. She is so mellow tempered and easy going. She now has 6 teeth and has learned the word thank you and uses it on a regular basis. She also enjoys giving open mouthed kisses – mmmm! She loves playing hide & seek with her brothers although she is always the seeker. She squeals when she finds them.
