Asa's Funnies

Recently I was giving Asa a bunch of kissed. He extended his arms keeping my face away and said, "Okay, okay... That's enough!"

After we picked up Havana and Jonah from school I was asking them all about their day... Asa piped up from the back and said, "Woah, woah, woah... Too many questions. Too many questions."

Today I was snuggling with Asa and told him he would have to break free from my arms to get out. He stopped struggling and said (mainly to himself), "Focus. Focus." 

So funny!

And I don't know if I've written about it before but one night he kept getting out of his bed and I finally said, "now look..." He quickly popped up, gave me a kiss, tilted his head, and then said, "now look what?" 

Garth Brooks

Jason took me to the concert of my dreams on Saturday night!!!! Loved every minute of Garth!!!!

Hezekiah is 18 months!!!

Well, Hezekiah turned 18 months in March! He was 24 pounds and got a great report from the doctor. He still has a very restrictive diet, but the Dr. said we could try new foods soon. So, we opted to try peanut butter. BIG mistake!!! He had his worse reaction yet. 

He is saying lots of words:

Mom

Dad

Hezzy 

Nose 

Eyes

Ears

Hair

No

Milk

Please

Tucker

Woof-woof

Ribbet (for frog) 

Book 

Lovey

Sippy Cup 

Blue dude (what he tries to call his loves even though that is Asa's guys name)

Sky walker 

Car 

Choo-choo 

He still takes 2 naps a day! And I can't really believe my baby is getting so big! He is still sleeping in our recalled infant crib because I have declared he isn't big enough to move. He's a sweet thumb sucker who loves life. He does whatever his siblings are doing... Will laugh at jokes he doesn't understand... And plays chance and hide-n-seek with them  he's such a sweet boy and I'm so lucky to be his mama. 

Jonah's extra tooth

When Jonah was 2.5, he grew an extra tooth... Right in the front. We have loving called it his "extra tooth" ever since. Well, tonight (March 26th, 2016) he lost it! :) He was super pumped and very brave! 

Sleep talking

Selah and Asa have been a bit under the weather... Which means sleepless nights for us all. Asa was asleep in our bed and as Jason was giving him a breathing treatment and a nose sprayer... He started talking in his sleep and the first thing he said (while sleeping) is "where's Heze?" 

He loves Hezekiah and its so cute to watch that come through even in his sleep. 

Selah's Sayings...

I think I will need a recurring post title called "Selah's Sayings" simply because that girl makes us laugh so much. She has such a delightful (and dramatic personality). For instance, she was talking with me, but once she saw a bag from Kohls in my hand she said, "ooo, new clothes!" She LOVES fashion and shoes and I want her to pick out my outfits for the rest of my life. :) 

She loves to say she is brave and isn't scared of anything. The other night we were reading the Bible story where David kills a lion with his sling shot and Selah said she is brave and could do that, but since she doesn't have a sling shot, she would just use her hands. 

She is curious about lots of things such as how does Ariel (in costume at the zoo) walk when she only has fins. Also, the stomach bug got her thinking... 

Selah: mom, do you remember when I was sick. 
Me: yes. 
S: let's talk about the stomach bug. 
Me: okay... What do you want to know? 
S: is it the stomach bug that makes that jelly come out of your belly? 
Me: yes. 
S: that makes Jesus mad. 
Me: well, he doesn't like it when we get sick but I don't know that it makes him mad. 
S: yes it does. When that jelly comes up from your belly it goes up through your heart and Jesus lives in our hearts and he doesn't like it washing over him

Sooo cute. And funny. She makes me laugh and giggle every day. She also reminds me of me... so much! She's like a little darby running around, even our babysitter says it is freaky and she feels like I am right there with them if selah is there. ha. 

Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

Halloween 2015 was a blast... Havana dressed as Jasmine, Jonah a Stormtrooper, Selah was Dorothy, Asa was Yoda, and Hezekiah was a lion. As always, October was full of pumpkin picking (and carving), halloween at the zoo, and trick-or-treating. The weather cooperated and Jason was able to have the evening off. All and all - a great time. :)

Thanksgiving was fun this year. Jason had the entire weekend off (which never happens and will likely never happen again) so we went to Cincinnati... 

And for Christmas we stayed home (daddy had the day off again!). We spend Christmas eve at my parents and then we were heading to Jason's parents when havana puked all over the car and we ran off an incline and had to get towed. So... Christmas with that side of the family didn't happen until later. 

It was such a great few months!
