Ok, decided to give this a go around agian! After some facebooking today I figured I should blog the cute things my kids do (which allows Grandmaws and Grandpaws to see) and that way I have a way of Journaling it easier in their scrapbooks! Right?? Right!
So whats happened recently in the Ward house?
Tanner decided today that he was going to tell me that he didnt love me anymore! This all came about because he got into trouble for yelling at me while I was on the phone! After I told him to wait just a min (several times) he still cont. to yell at me. So once I got off the phone he got into trouble and a time out! He then started to yell from his room, "Mommy, I dont love you anymore!"! :( I told him he hurt my feelings and he said, "Well Mom your not being nice to me at all so I dont love you anymore!" I said, "well I guess since you dont love me anymore I dont have to be nice to you, so go lay in your bed and have time out!" He gets in his bed then shortly later I hear snoring!
He is so full of things to say! Recently he told me that he was going to work on a boat like his Dad and be a Preacher on the boat! Before that he was just going to be Preacher like Mrs. Kays husband! (Mrs. Kay was his teacher last year and her husband is one of our Pastors!)
I'm sure I will think of more of his funny sayings and there will be more to come from him!
Cole...good ol' Cole! The extreme screaming that he had been doing since the day he was born has pretty much stopped, unless you dont feed him. He will eat anything that you put into his mouth or that he can put into his mouth. Tanner was never this way, in fact we never really had any problems with Tanner putting much into his mouth! (we still have to force feed him!) Coles favorite thing to eat is paper, no really. He manages to find any and ever piece of paper and eat it. Today at church one of the ladies in his room said that he took her name tag off of her and started eatting it. We have started him on solids. This started because at his last docs visit he weighed in at 14.5lbs at 8months old! The doc basically said he was malnurished? Sure. After talking to her a bit about him we decided that he bascially can eat whatever it is he wants to eat. Obviously not steak. :) But so far hes had ground meat, mashed potatoes, peas, bread, beans, pizza (yes hes had pizza and went nuts over it)
He can sit up all by him self now and he scoots around super fast using just his arms! Its pretty hysterical to watch! Dadada was of course his first word and he says it ALL THE TIME. Brandon has said he heard him say Mamama but he doesnt say it much. :( He has 1 and 1/2 teeth! I love this stage of growing and everything developing but honestly I am sad at the fact that 1year is coming up quickly!
Brandon is still working offshore! The week of August 17 he takes his last coast guard exam! This will promote him to Chief Mate (if the company still has a position open)! Lets Pray that he passes and the company has an open shift (in the Gulf) for him! God has blessed us with a great job and Brandon has quickly moved up already!
ME! I have several GREAT things to report! ...and they are going to have to wait because Cole just woke up... Next time.
