lost moments

I am desperately trying to keep up with this blog, but I am failing miserably.  Both of my children are changing so quickly that I am terrified of forgetting the little moments.  So, in an effort to keep track and remember...here are a few summaries of lost moments...

Parker is a bit girl crazy...he came home from preschool one day and told us that he Cayman was mad at him for stealing his girlfriend...he also said that he stole her because Cayman wasn't taking care of her and he would...he also explained that 'taking care of her' meant being near her all the time...

Parker also told me that he wanted to marry Babette because she is 'soooo pretty'...pretty sure she's taken...Uncle Landon is going to keep his eyes on you, little man...:)

Rowan began crawling...at 6 and a half months...we were not ready...she also started climbing up the stairs around 8 months...she crawled onto and then into the fireplace last week...yikes

Rowan went through a major 'no' phase...she loved shaking her head no anytime she didn't want to eat or knew she wasn't supposed to do something...that has now given way to the 'I don't care if I'm not supposed to' phase...

Rowan has a temper...if we do not get her more food quickly enough or do not get her the toy or object she wants quickly enough, she tenses up and screams...gosh I love her...

We have been saying Parker and Rowan's blessing every night before we go to bed (may the Lord bless you and keep you...) Parker never lets me forget his blessing and likes to look me in the eye while I say it...it is so sweet...

Rowan has basically had everything under the sun...including 6 ear infections...we now have an appointment with an ear, nose and throat dr to talk about tubes...we are praying that they help!

Rowan has a special sound she makes that is reserved just for me...it is like a super loud inhale that she does when she is really, really excited (mainly to see me)...I love it!

Parker is such a good big brother...Brady and I just feel so blessed that he loves her so much and protects her...oh, and she loves him more than anyone...

Parker just finished his first season of soccer...it was so fun to watch him improve with every game...he takes the game pretty seriously and we were so proud!

Gosh, I love them so much and just wish that I could slow down the clock!
