New 'dos and conk outs

I trimmed up Micah's hair yesterday, because he was starting to look like an unkept hippie. Of course, being the mom that I am, talked him into letting me pomade the heck out of it afterwards. If he only knew...

I live for that kind of stuff. Days when I am silly with my terrors angels, are much more pleasant.

Speaking of pleasant. It doesn't get much better than this.<
Add me in the middle and that's our sleeping arrangements. Now do you understand why I'm so tired? That's a king sized bed and they take up all the space, just between the two of them. I don't think I would trade it for the world. :)

So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give 'em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

fun with bean dip

Elias is very serious when it comes to his food. He went to town on the bean dip and corn chips I made for lunch the other day. His sweet little mouth smelled like garlic and onions for quite sometime.

Elias' words

Elias is quite the little chatterbox. As if I need two children talking my ear off. If he isn't babbling away, he is singing some random song. He is quite a fan of Alicia Keys, and sings, "No one, no one", over and over. He does it in this high, sing songy, delicate baby voice and it is SO cute! His other favorite tunes are anything by Dan Zanes and Firecracker. He starts tapping and marching his chubby little feet as fast as he can when it comes on. To be quite honest, Dan Zanes is the one who taught him how to sing Twinkle Twinkle.

Here is a list of some of his vocab.

mommy

IS MINE! ( a sure sign of having a sibling)

daddy

NO!

nursies (in a sing songy voice, heavy on the E)

boobie (smoothie)

kiki (candy)

wu wu wee (water)

saucey (Softee, what he calls the cat)

Ah-e (Alice, the cat's name)

Uh k (ok)

Ooo

poo poo

pee pee

boot

soes (shoes)

ah!

Ame (amen)

ball

mama

uh uh

um (he likes to say that over and over, then runaway giggling)

yimbo yimbo (limbo)

beep beep

hose you (hold you)

puppy

 eet eet (eat eat)

ah done (all done)

abble (apple)

woo woo (choo choo)

hotdog

ces'up (ketchup)

chips

He also does several signs. He used to scream at me constantly when he wanted something. That got old quick. Since E thinks Micah is the coolest ever, he was more than happy to do the signs once Micah told him to. They are very cute together. It was really sweet to watch M teaching E how to do them. Both of them were proud to be working together.

Both of them use the signs for water, please and eat on a daily basis. Micah has continued to sign please since he first learned it around 15 mos.

A Micah convo

Micah: Mom, we don't eat boogers, right?

Me: Right, Micah. Boogers are yucky. You tell mommy if you have a booger and I'll get it.

Micah: Mom, boogers is gross?

Me: Yes, Micah. They're gross. GET YOUR FINGER OUT OF YOUR NOSE!

Micah: Mommy. You take me to the doc'r?

Me: Why, Baby?

Micah: I ate 'da booger and I need a doc'r cut it out my tummicks, (a mix of the word tummy and stomach) .
