Bentley is a really good kid! It's amazing how fast she's growing up. She really loves to learn and she copies a lot of the things I do. She loves church and FHE and loves to pretend to conduct primary at home. She uses Deacon and has a pretend prayer, song, birthdays, etc. Sometimes I wonder if she listens to anything I or her teachers say, and then I see her replaying it all! She is a smart cookie and very good at persuasion as well. She loves to clean with me too! She's also a very good saver...almost every time she gets a treat, she doesn't eat it. Instead, she brings it home and puts it in her "stash," which is in the bathroom cupboard so Deacon can't reach it. She loves to show this stash to anyone who will come look at it, and tells me she will share it with her friends when they come over. She has a heart of gold. She also finds joy in other peoples successes. When Deacon was trying to be potty trained, I told him he would get a little train if he goes poop in the potty or keeps his bed dry at night. When he got a train, Bentley was probably more excited then he was! I love this girl so much and sometimes can't believe how blessed I am to have her!
Deacon is a ball of energy and spunk. He finds joy in almost anything! He has the best laugh and really loves to laugh often. He loves to climb on anything he can find and jump off, even if it's pretty high up. He hurts himself 20 times a day, but only hurts for a second and then says, "little owie, just a little owie" and moves on. Or he might say "no hurt, no hurt." He sure is tough. And strong! He shocks me at the heavy things he carries up and down the stairs. He is also the best eater. He loves almost every kind of food! His new obsession is dinosaurs and he could probably watch "the land before time" all day long. Trains are another obsession of his, and he can sit and play with little trains on a track for a solid 30 minutes or more. He also loves to cuddle and give hugs constantly. He charms most everyone he sees, and we sure can't imagine what life would be like without him!
Leo is becoming a really happy little guy! (Although he clearly didn't want to smile for the camera!) He was a hard baby, but now that he is eating solid foods and playing with toys he is a lot easier. He loves to roll around on the floor and make his way across the room. He is also sleeping most the night (usually just wakes up once to eat), and napping a lot longer. I am really really enjoying him right now! And obviously I give him a million kisses every day because who could resist those cheeks?! We love our little Leo!
Jeff and I are so lucky to have such happy and healthy kids. I am also really lucky to have Jeff! He is an amazing husband. He works so hard to support us financially and is also always there for me and the kids when we need him. He also lost 30 lbs in the last few months, through all of our craziness with 3 kids, so that really shows how amazing he is! I love this little family of mine and even though right now is tough for me...toddlers and babies are hard!...I am so happy and positive about the future!
