Paul 9 months

Paul turned nine months old on October 9th.  What a fun month it has been.  Paul has earned the name "Party Time" or "P.T." (also his initials).  We have realized he totally has FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and that explains the total lack of sleep.  He is happy and chill as along as there is a lot going on.  At home he can get hyper and silly.  He makes us laugh and is such a funny little guy.  We get stopped everywhere by people commenting on how blue his eyes are.  He is not crawling yet and we are anxious for the day to come.  I think he will be a lot happier.  He loves to empty out the bottom drawers and it buys me some time.  He is sleeping better and hopefully will soon be taking normal naps.  He eats solids just fine and has not given any problems with that.  In fact, he would be the perfect baby if he just had better sleeping habits and occasionally let me put him down.  I have gotten pretty severe tennis elbow (the pain keeps me up at night sometimes, ow) from carrying this guy around. 

 

Beau is counting, pointing out letters and pointing out colors.  He loves to ask "What dat mean" for everything.  He has a "hole in his blankie" and loves to climb in.  Sometimes he tells Sawyer it is raining and they climb in the blankie together.  Beau always has his blankie with him.  He has been very kissy this month and I love it.

Sawyer is starting to read words.  He has always had such a passion for reading books so we started reading non-picture books this month with Chronicles of Narnia.  We've also have been listening to The Magic Tree House Audio books.  We have also been doing memory bible verses.  He has 5 memorized better than I do.  He is still loving school.  He has a "special" friend at school, Jaci.  She is are neighbor and so precious.  They hold hands and are always together.  Sawyer and Beau have been talking a lot of potty talk to eachother.  They think it is hilarious.  We had to lay down the law on them so Sawyer has been teaching himself to spell the words instead of talking (poo poo).
