4, 2, and 10

Wowzers, those are our digits......4, 2, and 10.  We have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 10 month old.  We are so blessed and never "bored".  We did not intend to have them that close together but I can see why God wanted it that way.  The boys are starting to play better together and Hallister is protective of Liberty.

Liberty is our 10 month old beauty.  She is so wanting to walk.  She steps from one toy to another still or she will let go and just stand and clap.  I guess she is so excited about this new skill she is about to learn she wakes up around 6am some mornings standing and clapping in her crib....thankfully then she finds her paci and goes back to sleep until 7am.

We have a play kitchen and Liberty loves to chew on the play food.  She is still pretty happy all the time.  She nurses at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm and eats baby food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  She also likes Mum Mum's and teether biscuits.  We introduced pizza crust and she is able to chew on that.

She does not enjoy clippy bows in her hair and will pull them out.  She wears 12 month clothes now

Preston is our bubbly 2 year old.  He is a clown, always so happy and making us laugh.  He still loves to spin in his jumper and he is still a picky eater.  He enjoys eggo waffles for any meal, strawberries, apples, Sammy Jammies, chips, popcorn, yogurt, cheese sticks and applesauce.  He loves his milk but since he has had a low iron count we have tried to limit is intake to breakfast and lunch.  We can't give him juice because that gives him diarrhea.

He wears 2T clothes, mainly shirts.  Some 24 month pants still fit him since he seems to be short.  It is neat to see him wear Hallister's old clothes.

Every time I pick him up from school they always say how laid back he is, and so happy.  As long as there are toys he is good.  He enjoys playing by himself.

Hallister's main update is in another post.  He does not usually play well alone but is getting better at it.  Often he tries to get Preston to play with him but that turns in to a fight or sharing issues.  On a rare occasion they will both lay down and play with their cars. Since he has learned more this year he is also talking more.  It really wears me out to talk all day with him but I try to listen, be patient, and teach him lessons.  Hall loves Thomas, trains, and cars, but also loves to serve by feeding dogs, putting up dishes, feeding Liberty or cooking.  He is good about bringing me something for Liberty, like her burp cloth.

We are thankful the kids are healthy and thriving.
