Little Voices

Jay and Rose have the sweetest little voices! Here’s proof:

My two favorite Jay-words right now are sunshine and airplane. I just love how he says them! He babbles in his own language and inserts real words every now and then. It’s entertaining to try and figure out what he means. He’s getting so much better at communicating now, and it’s nice to be able to understand what he’s talking about more often.

Rose is quite the little squirmy, squeal-y chatterbox these days! She looks like she really knows what she’s talking about, too. It makes me smile.

This afternoon, we were playing on the bed, so I got out my trusty camera. Jay is getting pretty good about putting his arm around Rose for pictures. He was so energetic, though, that it didn’t last long…

Jay likes jumping on our bed. It’s hard to tell, but he’s actually in the air in this picture.

I love watching Jay and Rose interact. Rose enjoys watching Jay play, and she gives him lots of smiles. Jay gives her toys and pats her (and whacks her) and covers her with blankets.

Rose is so patient with Jay’s rough `n tough affection.

mmmm tasty t-shirt quilt! (Jay was copying Rose)

Little miss blue eyes

Ball Boy. He adores any round object.

Love them.

Jay is probably saying “head!”

Cute tummies

These two are so much fun! They remind me not to take life too seriously, and just relax and PLAY. Yes, there are big decisions and worries looming in the very near future (job hunt, home hunt, etc). I have been making a big effort not to stress about the future, and to take plenty of time each day to devote 100% of my attention to my sweet kids. It helps. The FUTURE will come whether I worry about it or not. So I’ll just pray and hope and do what I can, and then go hang out with Jay and Rose (and then I’ll beat Jeff in Scrabble when he gets home).
