These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

    Christian is now 21 months old and time is just flying! I can't believe that it's already the begining of a new year, I swear it seems like just yesterday I was giving birth to him. Last night as I was getting him all ready for bed he kept saying and doing the cutest things, (he always gets really funny around bedtime) so I decided that I would get on here and write them down before he grows up some more and I forget :-) Or maybe when he starts to throw his tantrums I can get on here and look at this to remind me that he can be sweet and funny... Either way here it goes, a list of some of my favorite things that Christian does:
1. He loves when I ask him where his body parts are but I have to be careful when I ask him where his nose is because if I'm close he'll shove his finger up mine.
2. Every morning when we get up I ask him what he wants for breakfast and he says "suck it?" which is how he was taught to say sucker (thanks uncle Brandon).
3. I rock him to sleep every night and he has the cutest bed time routine, first it's give daddy kisses, then Sienna, next comes uncle Brandon, and last but not least is mommy. Sometimes he's being stubborn and wont give one of us a kiss so I'll take him to his room and then he just hollers for whoever missed the kiss to come in and collect, but he WILL NOT sleep unless he kisses everyone good night.
4. Every morning he grabs his sippy and heads straight to the couch for cuddle time with me, we usually watch sponge bob, I'll be so sad to see this habit go!
5.He LOVES our dogs, he's always trying to cuddle them and he says "hey puppa"
6. He is always pretending he is one of the dogs, I can not keep him out of their kennel to save my life!
7. He has quite the vocabulary. He is just like me and loves to talk!
8. He loves to jump especially if it's with the jump rope
9. If he loses something or someone he throws his hands up in the air and says "Where'd it go?"
10. At night he'll only sleep if his head is snuggled deep in the crevice of my neck if I pull away from him he'll tap my cheek and say "momma, momma" then he gives me a kiss so I'll put my head back.
11. He is so affectionate, this is another thing I never want to see go.
These are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a million more, I'll add them as I think of them. I have never known such joy than I do as being a mother, I feel so blessed to have the kids that I do, they continue to teach me more and more about myself everyday. I love you Sienna and Christian!
