Thom was in the car a couple months ago and said, 'mama do I have big hands?'
to which I replied 'bigger then Beth's'
Thom said okay and then began talking to Beth saying 'Beth, you have a small hand and I have a big hand (he held her hand up and compared them) Come put your little hand in my big hand. Lets hold hands together."
Just imagine how sweet that was to hear, such a beautiful moment!
When I was putting the kids to bed a couple weeks ago Thom was stroking Beth's face
I said to him 'that is so nice'
he responded 'well, I love her'
I then told Thom 'I love her too!'
Thom's response was 'well, I loved you first!'
In my head I was thinking first, hmmm, like the most or because he is older he loved me before she was born?
Goni and Dave came back from about 6weeks away and we the 1st day they were back I brought the kids over (they babysat so me and Jeff could go out for our anniversary - 7years). I pulled into the driveway and Goni opened the garage door and Thom unbuckled his boosted (he switched over a month ago) and stood trying to get out of the van going 'Gramma, gramma, gramma, gramma. gramma.....' even as he ran out of the van towards here he kept repeating himself till he got to here- so cute.
When Beth turned 1 year all of a sudden now she can get off of items like the couch or the bed, she can also go down a short flight of stairs. Her walking is also getting much better, she can go across an average sized room without falling, most of the time, but if she seeing you looking she will lift her arms to indicate you should pick her up. No new words, I think she has said Unc, Opa, Omi and Gramma, but it is not very clear.
