Sweet Dreams

Tonight as we put JJ to bed, Jim handed him his new pillow. Up to this point he sleeps with his head on top of his blanket. As JJ looked at it he was a bit taken back. He didn't know what to think of it. Jim told him that it is his pillow and he can sleep with it. JJ smiled, took the pillow and walked it down the hallway to his room. He put the pillow in his crib. He immediately wanted to get in and try it out. We situated it in his crib and as he laid his little head down and smiled. My little man is growing up. I went back to check on him after he had fallen asleep. He was sleeping with his head on his blanket on top of the pillow. I guess he can't quite transition totally yet.

Blow on it....it's hot.

Ever since his birthday JJ has been blowing on things. When we watch Little Einsteins and rocket needs to go faster JJ will blow on rocket. He always blows on his food and anything that will resemble a cake or candle. So i was a little surprised today when JJ kept blowing on my face. I asked him why and he kept doing it. Finally I asked him if he was blowing on mommy because she was hot. He shook his head yes and walked away smiling. He sure made my day. That night I had to give Reese a bath so JJ wanted to help me. He turned on the water and moved her tub close to the faucet. He tried helping me lift her into the tub, then once she was in the tub he started to wash her hair. Then he was taking some water and trying to wash my hair, then my arm, my back, then his hair. He finally went back to putting water on Reese. We all got clean during that bath time.

Reese is 6 months old today!!!

Wow, I cannot believe that my baby girl is already 6 months old. I feel like it was only yesterday that she was born. She has grown so much, it makes me think of what little time is left in her baby stage. My baby girl has teeth, crawls, eats from a spoon, and has the most adorable little personality. She studies JJ and whatever he is doing. Wherever JJ is, that is where Reese wants to be. She is chasing him all over the house. It is amazing how time flies.

His Sweet Side

Today JJ took his little Mickey Mouse figure and spent 10 minute trying to place him in Reese's swing. As he placed mickey on the head rest, he went and began to turn everything on. JJ was being very picky about the speed and even the music that he chose for Mickey. After he had everything on, just the way that he wanted it Mickey had fallen down. JJ then tried to buckle him in. After several unsuccessful attempts I helped him out. I sure do love that boy!

Wow, he does listen!!

James and I were wrestling and playing around like we often do. I noticed that Reese needed her diaper changed so I asked JJ to take a timeout from playing so I could go change Reese. He immediately got up and proceeded to jog to his timeout spot. I started to laugh and went to tell JJ that he didn't have to go to timeout I had just meant for us to take a break from playing. He looked up at me like as if to say, well why didn't you say that.

The Games They Play

Today was a day like any other daThis when I hear that Reese is up from her nap I tell JJ that Reese is up and he sprints to her door. When I open her door, he sprints to her crib. He then begin to climbed up into Reese's crib, (yes I said climb). While in her crib (with her) he proceeds to try and to get by her without her touching him, and try to turn on the mobile (another one of his favorite things in life). Of course Reese's game is a little bit different than JJ's. Her goal is to try and get him. It's quite humorous to watch. Both parties are always sad when mom "surprisingly" breaks it up and takes them both out of the crib.

We were woken up this morning to the sound of both kids talking. This has never happened before. Reese slept in till 7:30 along with JJ and they both woke up happy. What a gat start to the morning. Then as I was washing my face JJ came in and looked up at me and left. I heard some rustling in the cupboards of the other bathroom and when I looked up JJ had returned with his step stool. We put it up and he climbed on up to see what was going on. After I was finished he wanted to do the same thing, but instead we just washed his hands. He was grinning ear to ear, it was so cute. As we proceeded with the day JJ saw Jim having some chocolate milk and he needed to have it too. We played a bit on the floor where JJ tackled both of us.
