A Night of Firsts

Reese was all set for her first big girl ride in the her new car seat. We were on our way to Costco, just the three of us. It was going to be my first attempt at shopping without Reese being in a carrier. The night was going well. We picked up Reese's first birthday invitations, JJ was enjoying his samples, and Reese was enjoying the opportunity to sit next to her brother up where the "big kids" sit. Everything was going well until we got outside. When we got to the car I told JJ that I was going to put Reese in first. As I was trying to unbuckle her it would not budge. I couldn't get her out. I tried for 2 minutes. JJ was yelling that he wanted to go in the car and Reese refused to keep her hat on in the cold weather. So I did the only thing that I could think of...... I took out my Swiss Army knife and I cut the strap that was keeping her in. First time I ever did that. Other than that, it was a great night! Sorry Costco. =-(

Cute Things Kids Do

JJ says "top" instead of Stop and he holds his hand up at the same time.
JJ calls Slyder "Wa Wa"
JJ will pat where he wants you to sit, play, color, everything!
JJ roars at everything
I think that Reese's favorite show is Little Einstein's too. The huge smile on her face says it all.
James will roar like a lion and Reese loves every minute of it.
When we ask JJ how old he is he says two and holds up one finger on each hand.
Reese loves to play with the air register.
When we give JJ his multivitamin he does a drum roll until he finds out the color he gets for the day.
When we pray I tell JJ to close his eyes and he squints and smiles.
When brushing his teeth JJ likes to put his toothbrush under the water repeatedly and then suck on it.
When Reese is sleeping she moves her mouth as if she is sucking on a pacifier.
Whenever JJ gets excited he says, oooo and his little mouth is wide open and he sticks his belly out.
JJ's cheesy smile whenever I ask him to smile while taking his photo.
At 3 months old Reese will coo back and blow bubbles at you.
Reese's nonstop smile
While watching Little Einstein's, JJ will pat and sing along with it.
Anytime Reese spits up JJ will say, "uh oh" and grab a burp cloth.
He would eat just ketchup if we let him.
When I leave and go out through the back door, JJ will go up to the window and give me a kiss through the glass. I'm of course on the other side giving him a kiss right back.
When I put JJ to bed he always reaches his little hand out beneath the bumper and he waits for me to reach for it.
JJ has to play his Thomas The Train toothbrush in order to brush his teeth.
While changing Reese's diaper JJ took it upon himself to take the dirty clothes and make sure they made it into the hamper. He then brushed his hands together as if saying, there, all better.
JJ has some slow dance moves. He moves his arms as if dancing the waltz.
JJ's "bubba dance" at bed time. He also goes directly to the fridge gets out the milk and tries to carry it over to the counter.
James picks out his pj's every night then proceeds to run away from you so you chase him
JJ grabbing a burp cloth and trying to wipe off his sisters mouth
JJ giving his blanket to his crying sister
