After bath time tonight, Noah called me "MOMMY" for the very 1st time! I was so touched by it. He has always called me "Mama". It was something special I hoped for even before we had the boys. Loved it! Can't wait til he says it again. Priceless moment.

At bottle time tonight, Parker drank his milk from a sippy cup. He put the bottle in sink and said he wanted "new cup" not the bottle. Very bittersweet moment for Collin and I both. We will continue to offer the "new cup" and see if it sticks. Noah is not going to let go of his bottle. Loves it. ha-ha.

Poo Talk - March 11, 2012

We know it's not nice to talk about POO but when you 22 1/2 month old POOs on the potty for the very 1st time (and on the big adult potty even) you have to talk about it! Congrats Parker!

Artist Table

Grandpa Stoops design and built this handsome art table for you. It is made out of black walnut from the Lange Farm in Iowa. Grandpa + Grandma had you help them put it together. You love this table and use it everyday.

Little Swimmers

Noah and Parker officially graduated from their 1st swim class. It was 4 Saturday's this winter. They learned how to blow bubbles, climb out of the pool (elbow,elbow, tummy, knee, knee), jump safely into the water to mommy & daddy, lay on their backs - with ears in water, kick, alittle bit of hand paddling ( Teacher said they are still alittle young for this task) and enjoy the water.

My Valentine's

Will you be mine Valentine?

I love you more than the beach, sunshine and chocolate chip cookies all put together. You 2 little men have stolen my heart. I knew I would love you but I never imagined a love like this LOVE. There are no words to describe it.

I remember asking Grandmama years ago how do you love more than one child at a time? She said, "its like growing another heart." I didn't understand it at the time but I totally do now. You both have my whole heart"s".

Happy Valentine's Day my sweetie pies. I hope today is filled with nothing but Joy & Love for you. Your Daddy & I thank God every moment for you!

XOXOXOXOXOXO
