Mmmmmhhh...little Miss Personality!

I had run out of bananas...who knows when, but it had been a while!

Side note: This is not a crazy story! No near death experience, but it really shows off how Catherine is slowly becoming a little person!

So, I finally went to Costco, and bought a bunch! (no pun intended! :)
When I got home, I opened the banana and slowly began feeding her little pieces.  She looked at me, smiled so big...her eyes twinkled...her two little bottom teeth sparkled...and she gave me this, "Mmmmhhhhh."  I-love-this-mommy look.  The "Mmmhh" said it all!

Catherine is so sweet all the time.  We've been getting a lot of alone time lately.  We snuggle, play, roll, stand, lift, scream, babble, throw, crawl...you are just moving and doing everything you can to keep up with Jordan.  You guys communicate quite well.  I think you'll be partners in crime one day!

Yesterday, we went to the Aquarium and had a great time.  It was a mommy and Jordan...plus friends kind of date.  So fun!

Another Fall!

I can't believe that as I'm writing this there are leaves falling on the driveway, pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks (and one in my hand), and a cool crisp air that makes me want to make soup and anything with apples.  (That might explain my giant apple purchase at Costco yesterday! :)
Things have been going great around here.  The kids are both doing good.  They are healthy, happy and sweet (a little crazy too...but that's just to spice things up a bit! )
Today Jordan told me he had a "Happy, happy day!"  This was after going to Barnes & Nobles for story time (story, color, glue, CUT, and cookie), a carousel, and lunch with friends!  What fun!
Everyone is selling pumpkins, mums, and anything "spice."
We've been using the playroom everyday!  Jordan even calls it the playroom.  I need to post some pics!
I've been trying to divide the day into activities; worship time, outside time, play time, "study" time, nap time (one of my favorite "times"), sleepy time.
Our favorite song for worship is happy, happy, home.  Catherine claps her heart out!  It's so sweet!  Jordan always requests we go through EVERY member of the family...of course!  So it's a little bit of a loooong song for us!
Catherine is exploring everything.  She loves remotes...or anything with buttons!  (and they are even more fun if Jordan is playing with the object! ;)
Jordan loves to play with Catherine too!
He likes to draw on Catherine, squirt her with floor cleaner, and feed her just about anything he eats!  It's a miracle she is still alive!  All these things happened in seconds!
We are convinced our kids are half human, half monkey!  Jordan is a great climber!  How he ends up in some places? We'll never know!  I think their angels are working over time!!  I praise God he looks after my kids and pray that he'll continue doing that for the rest of their lives!  God is so good!

oh oooh!

Fist you said, "Dadada."  Then you said, "Mamamama."  But your third word, and the one you understand and use most often is...drum roll...oh, ohhh!
Yes...you use this in reference to Jordan usually.  It's super cute!
Jordan is helping you swing from the baby swing as I'm writing this.  I didn't know it swung that far!  You are both laughing and having a good time.  Jordan is taking his job so seriously.
We had a good weekend so far.  Daddy has been on call since Friday, we went to sabbath school, made vegan banana nut muffins (Jordan helped mommy cook), took naps, mommy and daddy went out to dinner with friends (and had a great time) and now we are having a lazy Sunday morning.  Catherine is looking at me and smiling every time I look at her.  It's almost a perfect morning.  Now if daddy was here!
