Before I forget these precious things,
We walked outside tonight to say bye to friends and we were looking up at the stars. I asked her, "Juliet, who made the stars?" She looked up and said "God made the stars"! Good job Juliet Claire and good job Mrs. Cathy, her Awana's teacher!!
She also knows her months of the year and her days of the week (to the tune of Adam's family), days of the week, (snap snap), days of the week (snap snap), days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, (snap snap). There's Sunday and there's Monday, there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday, there's Thursday and there's Friday and then comes Saturday. (Repeat the days of the week) Cute, catchy and apparently works!
She loves to sing, she knows most of the songs on her school cd, she loves head, shoulders, knees and toes, deep and wide and Jesus Loves Me. It's a sing-a-long in the car now!
She has also decided that she likes the candies that you put on top of cakes and PEZ! Who is this child?
If I haven't said it before, Juliet loves art! I arrived at school twice this week before art time and I had to take the project home with us so she could do it and take it back with her.
These are precious memories that I don't want to forget, and I will if I don't write them down!!

Time to blog
It seems like I say it over and over again, I just feel like I have no time anymore. But here I go with an update that is full of what the kids are doing!!! One thing that is the same about both kids is they love being outside. Both love to be on the swing and Nate likes the wagon while Juliet rides her bike. I think we are in for some cooler weather so maybe we can be out more.
As we were driving home from Wal-Mart, I had Juliet's music CD on and she was happily singing along with the songs she knew, not just some of the words, but all the words to the music. It amazes me how much her little brain absorbs. I also have to be very careful of what I say because she listens to everything and repeats most of it. She looks at her name and spells it most of the time correctly. She counts to twenty regularly and if you start her on twenty and thirty she will count them. She also counts to 10 in spanish and will repeat the days of the week if you tell them to her. She also is never quiet, she is always talking. I hope you never have to think about anything when she is around because she will talk your ear off in a heartbeat. The little boy across the street had his birthday party today and his dad always gets a bouncy house, she cried when we got home because I wouldn't let her go over until she was invited. Of course she was and enjoyed bouncing so much we are going to have one for her birthday party. Speaking of little boys across the street, Landon calls Juliet his girlfriend and Kasen tells me he likes Juliet. We had Juliet's 1st haircut but I will post that on it's own.
Nate is so full of changes, he is 3 months now and weighs 13.4 pounds and is 24.5 inches long. The biggest change with Nate is that now he is smiling and cooing at everyone instead of just staring at you. He still looks around when he hears Jon or I in another room or out of his sight, but is happy when he actually sees us. If you talk directly to him and he likes it he will smile, if he keeps being happy he will start "talking" to you. The noises are so precious. Today I leaned over his bouncer and he lifted his arms out like he was reaching for me and smiled. We moved to the medium flow nipples and the bigger bottles today. It seemed like he was getting tired during feedings so I thought it might be time. We also started more activity at tummy time instead of just laying there sleeping. He holds his head and feet up and will scoot around in a semi circle if he is mad enough. He hates being in a room by himself and as I type this he is laying on the bathroom floor on the boppy while Juliet takes a bath. Right in the middle of it all and is so happy.
So much going on and not enough time or words to say it all!! Kids are growing like weeds and keeping us constantly on our toes!!
Here is the kid's school pic, it turned out precious!!
Love to all,
