Reflecting

It's been quite a while since I've posted, but I would like to try again and maybe turn it into a therapeutic journal.   My babies are growing so fast.  Elise loves to sign "bath" and say "baa" for when it's bathtime.  Jensen loves to play zombies, hide and seek, freeze tag, dance, ride his bike, swim, and eat popcorn.  Popcorn and chips and salsa are his favorite foods.   He's learning to spell words and loves to spell his own name.  He also loves numbers and counting to 100, and asking everyone how old they are, and telling everyone how old he is "I'm still 4!"  He had so much fun at Uncle Phil and Cait's wedding.  He snuggled with Great Grandma a lot.  One time when she coughed, he exclaimed "oh no, great grandma's sick!"  He loves school, and his two best friends there are Ben and Harry. 

Elise had a rough go of it for her start to this life, and had such terrible acid reflux that she was on two types of medicines at 6 times a day from the time she was 2 weeks old until almost 6 months old.  She wasn't gaining weight from all the acid reflux, and luckily she started thriving and is our strong little girl now.  She's a beast.  She will throw her whole body against things, doesn't get hurt, and is a little brute.  She's the sweetest, snuggliest little girl, and LOVES to read books and sit in your lap.  Jensen loves music, Elli loves books.  She loves to wear hats and hairbows, and be outside.  She will walk around the grass, dig through the dirt, and eat chalk.  She is very curious and wants to touch everything (including the dog bowls....we have pulled lots of dog food out of her mouth).
