Some of the many things I love about my kids #8:

  • Faith's big, beautiful blue eyes
  • How Silas would bring Faith a kleenex when she sneezed (until he realized she didn't really need it)
  • Hearing Luke say, "Here, Mommy. Let me handle it." if I can't get Faith to stop crying
  • How Silas called the ornament hangers at Christmas "hookers"
  • How Luke makes sure everyone washes their hands before they touch Faith
  • Faith's sweet, easygoing temperament
  • How the boys use the word "notice" instead of "know" ("Babies aren't born with any teeth! I didn't notice that...")
  • How Silas can eat dinner and dessert, and then go back for a second helping of dinner, and on the flip side...
  • How Luke can taste the difference between boxed mashed potatoes and my homemade ones because mine "are just a little bit better"
  • How Faith pumps her fist in the air after she's done eating
  • How the boys come into Faith's room while I'm feeding her to read her books, play and hang out
  • Luke's exclusive use of pointing with his middle finger (though I don't know if love would be the claim I would put on this one...maybe just interesting)
  • How Silas's name for the card game "Old Maid" is "Old Navy"
  • Wishing my lips were permanently attached to Faith's sweet little head
  • How Luke and his friend at school have nicknamed the doll that lives in their classroom "Baby Ew" since that's what the doll looks like it's saying (go ahead...try it ;) )
  • How Silas sometimes gets into bed by going through the bunk bed ladder headfirst and then onto his lower mattress
  • Seeing Luke's sweet little hand on the video monitor putting a pacifier back in Faith's mouth when it's fallen out, completely unprompted
  • How Faith immediately stops crying when you talk to her
  • How Silas sees the animals in our backyard through Viva Pinata eyes ("I wish we could get that squirrel to live in our garden.")
  • How Faith and Beau have "date night" where I feed her and then head to bed. I can hear Faith "talking" and cooing to Beau from all the way upstairs. She loves her daddy!
  • How Luke just likes to be near Faith and will just sit next to her and hold her hand or leg
  • How if you happen to catch Faith just as she's waking up in her crib, she'll lock her eyes on her you and then give her biggest smile
  • Having three precious little angels to share my life with. They change so much and so quickly. I am so very blessed to see it and be a part of their lives!

I love that Faith already has such personality! And I can't imagine two sweeter big brothers. Poor boys that will want to date Faith in the future.

I love that Luke and Silas say "notice" instead of "know". Caden does the exact same thing and I chuckle every time he says it.
