sophie

01. she is such a little book worm lately. if we can't find her anywhere we know to look on the couch in her bedroom and sure enough there she usually is, curled up with a chapter book she is working her way through

02. sophie and esme have formed the sweetest little friendship over the past few months. soph has become like a second mum to her

03. before she goes to bed she goes into esme's room and hugs her and asks her if she wants her to get her out of bed in the morning

04.  she has been fighting me a lot on practicing violin. she is trying to learn a new song and when she get frustrated she shouts "i'm never going to get it" and of course that only makes me more determined to make her practice more. i know she will appreciate it one day but holy cow, those practices are going to be the death of me

nora

01. she has gotten the roughest skin the last few weeks. she has patches of redness all over her face and her chest is all chapped from being so dry. of course she won't let me put any lotion on her though. surprise surprise

02. when she is describing something to us that is small she always always uses the word "speck" which i love. if we smile or show that we find it funny though of course she stops immediately

03. she is still like a little jumping jelly bean. she doesn't walk to the bathroom, she back handsprings there. her little calf muscles and abs are pretty incredible. i love how determined she is

04. she has been fighting me on going to gymnastics though revently because she says it "always gives her a headache". i mean i can see why. she us upside dodwn in the class most of the time but i'm not going to let her quit over it

esme

01. i love that she is my little buddy every morning once the big girls have gone to school. she follows me round while i pick up the house and then we play and have one on one time and she is just the cutest, funniest little personality

02. she is super into princesses right now and is wanting to dress up as cinderella most days. i can't get enough of it. especailly when she starts dancing around like a princess in her attire. she is too much

03. she says cute little phrases like "oh my goodness", or "i'm so cheeky" or "can you help me by the way". she gets her little cheeks pinched and body squeezed a good majority of the day because is just so cute

04. she is so rough with ford. she acts like she is doing something nice like giving him a hug but it is always way harder than it needs to be or ends with her two hand shoving him or kicking him. i can't figure out why because i know she loves him. it just seems like she has so much pent up aggression around him or something

ford 

01. poor little guy is just coming off of a terrible two week stint of teething. he got three of his top teeth all at once and was miserable. luckily he seems much better today but he was pretty fiesty there for a while

02. when he sees something he wants to eat he flicks his tongue in and out like a little snake over and over

03. he does a half crawl, half army crawl wherever he goes. his favorite place to crawl to is the power outlets every single time. i need to cover all of them pronto

04. before he goes to bed he lays his head on my shoulder while we are cuddled on the rocker and just lays there snuggling with me and it melts me every single time. he is the coziest little boy ever. i am officially obssessed with him
