Littles Update

So, I figured it was time for a Calla update. I forget to do this, because, well, frankly, it is hard to find the time to really do anything productive when you have three littles at your feet. So anyway, for the grandparents and great grandparents sake, here is an update.

Calla is 8 months, yup, 8. Time has flown with her. Maybe because there is so much to do or maybe because time just does that. She is the most happiest baby I have ever met. Everyone seems to say that about her. She has the biggest most contagious smile I have ever been around and I love it. She is army crawling around the house these days. She is a VERY good eater. Loves to play with her big sis and brother. Screams at people to get them to look at her and then charms them with her toothless grin. She has been sleeping through the night for quite a while now. She shares a bedroom with both Bren and Ikee. They all do great. Really she is a very content baby and I have to remember to spend one on one time with her because she rarely demands it. It goes without saying that her name fits her perfectly and she has won me over.

Isaac turned 2 before Christmas and had himself a tractor birthday, or as he calls it "GaGa". He is such a fun boy to be around. He is getting his two year molars which has been rough, but almost over. I find it hard to believe how much he is growing to be like his daddy everyday. He is at the oh so very cute stage where everything he does has that adorable factor to it. I will purposely give him cereal and milk just to watch him put the bowl up to his mouth to drink the milk. It makes me smile every time. He is talking more and more. His sentences are becoming so much more complex. It has been a relief to be able to communicate with him now. He is enjoying learning about the Bible in BSF and has mastered his answers of "Church", "God", "Jesus", and "Bible". He is beginning to pray for meals with the family and loves to shout AMEN and throw his hands up in the air. He is becoming such a little man. Currently his life is consumed with tractors and construction excavators. It is pretty much all he thinks about.

Bren is 3 1/2 and becoming a little lady. She goes to preschool two days week, and BSF once a week. She is also involved in AWANA and loves to say her verses. It amazes me how much she is absorbing and how she is connecting the dots to so much in life. And to think I was worried that she wasn't talking much, boy, I didn't have anything to worry about AT ALL. She is very talkative and will pretty much tell you how it is, at least in her mind. I have enjoyed her growing personality, and though it has it's rough days, she is very much like me. She has really taken to her sister and adores her. I have to be pretty watchful because she will try to pick her up and carry her around, precariously, I might add. We are starting to raise chickens and she has been very aware and excited. She has pretty much gone up a rung in development that I am having to adjust how our days go. She's even lost her baby face and looks like a little girl.

I am one proud mommy and wouldn't trade them for anything. Though there are moments, days, whatever, that I may throw my hands up in the air in frustration and joke about posting them on craigslist I love them dearly and they are my life; as chaotic as it may be. Well, that's that. Another day in the lyon pride. Stay tuned for a chicken update. Coming Soon!
