Day to Day Cuteness

Hallie loves to have me lay by her at night. Each night I spend about 15 or 20 minutes chatting with Hallie about her day, discussing our favorite parts of the day, listening to her stories and thoughts, and answering her millions of questions. Inevitably I have to get up and feed Greyson and put him to bed. Within minutes she is out of the bedroom telling me she loves me SO much and misses me SO much! Hallie asks for me to come back in the bedroom and lay by her to talk. Lately her reasoning has been that she "Loves me just TOO much and misses having me by her." Hallie's just at that age where she wants to hang out with me and I'm loving it! When we sit on the couch if I'm a cushion away she'll say, "Mom scoot over! Come right her close to me!" :) :) If that's not adorable I don't know what is! .................................................................................................................................................................................. Leilah is learning SO much right now! She says so many things and is so smart! Leilah has so much energy and loves to play, swim, jump, dance, sing, chase her sister and Oliver around, and "take care" of Greyson. She talks constantly and I can understand most of what she says. She is addicted to pacifiers and at night when we lay her down the first thing she says is "another one." She likes one in her mouth and one in each hand usually, and now it's just one more than whatever she has. So I tell her I'll get one, she asks for the door to be left open (so she can see if I really am getting one or just waiting for her to go to sleep lol) and then I say ok. Then in the sweetest and smallest whisper she says a tire, "ok" back. It sounds so insignificant, but it's one of my favorite parts of the day. :) She also loves to "sh" me. If....WHEN I say things she doesn't like, such as, "eat your dinner," "time to brush teeth," "last slide then we need to go home," then she puts her finger to her mouth and says a quiet, "shhh" and whispers, "quiet." It's SO hard not to laugh each time! ................................................................................................................................................ Today Greyson pulled himself up from sitting to standing! He held onto the step stool and put his feet down and up he went! He is super mobile and grabs anything and everything is sight! I have never seen such a happy baby either. In fact I had no idea that such good babies as this little guy even existed! He is so incredibly smily and sweet, snuggly and easy going! He laughs easily and is so patient! If we miss a nap or he gets woken on accident he still smiles and is so happy the rest of the day :) It's as if he says, "It's ok :) I'll just take a longer nap later, but for now I'm just happy to see everyone!" He melts my heart and makes me laugh out loud every day! Today Hayden came home and said hi to all the kids. Greyson was on the floor and Hayden said hello to him and got a huge smile in return, then he walked over to put his backpack down. Right as he passed Greyson, Greyson let out a huge serious cry! (so unusual for our happy guy) He wanted his daddy! He started to crawl toward Hayden and Hayden came back and picked him up. The tears were gone and he gave Hayden a huge smile and snuggled in :) :)
