The girls are starting to look really old to me and my little newborn is a little boy! I am definitely the sentimental mom that I swore I wouldn't be and wish I could just stop time! But since I can't, I need to be better at recording their personalities at each stage. Here they are:
Adelyn (almost 2, 23 months)
-Is usually more friendly with strangers and quicker to give smiles.
-Loves to follow me around and loves when I hold her and I love holding her.
-Must have sensitive ears. She cries when I turn the vacuum on, the blender on and when the lawnmowers are on.
-Loves to be independent and is fine playing alone.
-Loves stacking things and puzzles
-Loves vegetables. She has no problem finishing her salad.
-Still sometimes has a hard time when I am feeding Christian or rocking him.
-Nicknames: Addy, Adeloony

Avery (almost 2, 23 months)
-Loves babies. She loves her dolly and has LOVED holding Christian. She tries to wrap her dolly up and then sings "I Am a Child of God" to her.
-Loves her daddy. She cries most days when he leaves for work. I will try so hard to get her to cuddle with me and fail and she will just go climb up on Tia and lay on him.
-Loves climbing up on everything.
-She's sensitive and very caring
-Loves trying to dress herself and put her shoes on by herself
-Sucks on her thumb to comfort herself
-Loves helping mommy clean. She is such a good little helper and always wants a rag when I am cleaning.
-Nicknames: Averoonikins, Avery Sue

Both
-Very empathetic. Their nursery leaders have told us they can't believe how empathetic they are towards sad kids there.
-They love singing! Their favorite songs are "I am a Child of God," "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus," "ABC's", and "Old MacDonald." Just like their excruciating loud cries, their singing voices are so loud and straight from the heart.
-Love to copy each other. The other day Avery fell off the chair so I was comforting her. Adelyn ran over to the chair and tried to fall off it. I guess I need to give them more love :) Same thing happens if one of them does something naughty and gets in trouble.
-Are slow to talk. These sweet girls are so lazy! This is usually how their prayers go we help them with: "He Fa,...foo, tha tha...foo, in mane ah Pa Pa, Amen." I know they can talk but are just being stubborn.
-Still love food. :)
-Love going up to kids and giving them hugs, high fives and rocks
-Nicknames: Averlyn and Aderly

Christan (almost 5 months)
-Is handsome! People always comment on what a good looking baby he is and obviously, with bias I agree
-Is all boy. He just came out looking like a boy and his squawks and everything seem so much more masculine than the girl's were
-Loves sucking on his third and fourth finger. If those aren't in his mouth, something else is. He puts everything in his mouth
-Is rolling over both ways and loves being on his stomach
-Just started eating solids
-Seems to be getting his first tooth
-Sleeps an average of 10 hours a night (Yay!)
-Has more hair than the girls did at one year
-Gives more smiles a day than both girls give in about a week put together
-Has to be the most patient baby ever! His face has been sat on, he gets rolled by his sisters and usually doesn't make a peep, sometimes he even has a big smile. He will play on the floor for so long!
-Is at such an easy stage! Sleeping well and not mobile yet. I have a feeling he will crawl early though, ah!
-Makes a lot of noise. He loves yelling and hearing himself. Cute, unless I'm trying to keep him quiet at church.
-Nicknames: Christiano, Christo, CT
We love these kiddos!
