Our Littlest Aggie!!!

Thomas, I love the tongue!

moon

We've been discussing the moon's cycle:

Claire: Mom! The moon is FULL!

Mom: You think so? I think it still looks like it's waxing.

Claire: Hmmm...You're right, Mom. I think it needs a little more wax.

doorknobs...

I was running behind schedule. I cleaned all my children and I needed a 10 minute shower to myself. I closed the bathroom door, took a shower and got dressed. Came out and started talking to Matthew. Checked on the baby. Put some things together to run to the store. Realized I had no idea where Zoey was.

Zoey?

Walked around, looked downstairs...

Zoey?

Climbing the stairs...

ZOEY?

Running quickly through the bedrooms...

ZOEY!

Ran back downstairs, checked the locks on the doors. All locked. She has to be in here...

ZOEY!!

Checked under beds, in the garage...

















Found her in the upstairs closet. Asleep. Wet cheeks from tears. She loves to close doors, but can't open them yet.

Scared me to death.

too fast...

Guess who rolled over?  This was taken diectly after.  I just missed it.  Hoping its not a fluke. ;)

Go Thomas!

softies and hawks...

All of my kids (thus far...we'll see about Thomas) have been super tactile. Claire has a blanket she won't sleep without. Matthew loves HAIR. And Zoey loves fuzzies. She will search out lint. From the dryer, from clothes, from animals. Whatever. If she sees something fluffy, she will pick it up and either put it in her mouth or right under her nose. She even will put it under my nose and try to get me to eat it.

Enter: The pink softy. This little blanket (Grammie made a big one and a small one...and incidentally, the large one was made out of Nick's baby blanket that he adored. It's used as it's stuffing. Wish I had a picture of it to explain it. Krista is a genius. She made it peek a boo style. Until Zoey pulled out the fuzzies........that girl...lol) is minky on one side and HAIRY minky on the other. If Zoey wakes before I get her out of bed, you better believe that she's pulling little bits of this hairy stuff off. Often with such content that I don't hear her when she wakes and when I go in to check on her, she's covered in fluff. Yesterday she started carrying this thing around.

TODAY, I'm holding Thomas. Whenever this girl hears him, I say his name or we go by something of his, she makes this kissing noise which tells anyone who will listen , that she'd like to give Thomas a kiss. It's too cute. So, I'm holding Thomas and Zoey comes up with kissing noises. I lift her up to sit with us and she notices his hair. She leans over to him and uses his hawk as a fuzzy, rubbing it repeatedly under her nose (a 'hawk' is his little hair that we fashion mohawk style. Here, I'll remind you of what it looks like).

How cute is this chubby girl, I ask you?

hi!

Thomas just wanted to say hi!

finger sucker, already.
