10 things I love about Little Chef (3 months):
Little Chef with said Ele (elephant lovey)
1. His sweet smile, and his willingness to share it with anyone and everyone.
2. The way he watches his big brother so intently; it's like he's just dying to play with him already.3. He hates being alone, just like his big brother and his mommy.
4. His coos are more like shrieks and screams (he's loud like the rest of his family!).
5. His sloth-like toes, and the fact that my finger can pass through the space between his big toe and pointer toe (second toe?) without touching either
6. The way he instantly calms me down when I hold him, no matter the situation.
7. The crazy-coincidence of his birth happening during a snow and ice storm, just like his big brother.
8. His dark blue, beautiful eyes, and the pin-hole size dimple on the top of his right ear. My mom had one on each of her ears. It's just another part of my mom still being in my life.
9. The way he melts Daddy's heart when they are together snuggling.
10. His "lovey" is (most of the time) Mommy's fingers. He grabs my thumb and pinky, pulls my hand to his chest and instantly calms. His other "lovey" is a blue satin square mini-blanket with an elephant stuffed animal head in the middle. Named Ele of course. He likes the satin to be ON his face while he's trying to fall asleep (I go in and move it to his cheek once he's asleep).

10 things I love about Flash (2.5 years):
Flash running past the camera!
2. He's my firstborn, my redhead, my Lukie-Duke.
3. The excitement he gets when he realizes where we're driving to. "BEACH!" "TRAINS!" "GRAMMA'S HOUSE!" "COUSIN'S HOUSE" are just to name a few. Oh, and "DADDY CAR!"
4. The twinkle in his eye when he hears the key click in the front door, signaling that Daddy is home.
5. His sweet comments: "Oh, sure!" "Bless you!" "Oh wow! Look at that!" "I did it!"
6. The joy he gets when playing with his cousins (who are very close in age). Makes one of my life goals come true every time.
7. He was born when I was 25, allowing the family "tradition" (I think it was just coincidence that it happened like this) of having 25 years between my great-grandma, my grandpa (her son), my mom (his daughter), myself, and now Flash. I'll have to resist putting pressure on him to have a child when he's 25. :)
8. He LOVES to read books, all kinds of books, mostly about trains and dinosaurs and Cars (the movie).
9. The love he has for his little brother is amazing. He gets the biggest, most beautiful smile on his face when he sees Little Chef; the best is when Flash hears that Little Chef has hit a sound button on the exersaucer. He comes running, yelling, "Little Chef YAY! Little Chef did it, Mommy! Yay Little Chef!"
10. Routines are everything to him, no matter what it was, it MUST be done that same way EVERY time. My little OCD kid! :) He even got after a kid who came over for a play date for the first time. The kiddo was moving toys from one bin to another, mixing Lego pieces with blocks and so on. Flash quickly returned the toys to their rightful bins and told the kiddo, "No no. No do that, please." I love the fact that, one, I've made an impression on him to be neat (maybe a little too neat?), and two, that he was so polite about it! :)

10 things I love about my husband, Mike:
My husband (white shirt)
1. His willingness to marry me.2. His adorable blue, full-of-teases eyes.
3. The way he still flirts with me, after 8 years together (6 married and 2 dating). I don't know that I would want to flirt with me.
4. His love for our children is infectious. He just loves them so much.
5. His drive to work hard at his job so that he can provide for us and allow me to stay home with the boys.
6. His love for movies, and his willingness to watch romantic movies with me. Almost all of them have had Reese Witherspoon in them too! :)
7. The way he loves my family, and tries to bring us all closer together.
8. The fact that he'll eat almost whatever I cook for meals (I'm not that good at cooking; baking is more my thing.), even vegetarian "chicken" patties and nuggets. What a trooper.
9. That he remembers things that I can't, including memories about my mom before she got sick. These I hold dear.
10. The way he kisses me. I love him so much. The fact that he still wants to kiss me blows me away every day. I'm a lucky lady indeed.

Both kiddos are napping right now. I think the late baseball game last night plus the early wake-up (so Mommy could get to work WITH both kiddos on time) did them in! Hoping for a relaxing afternoon/evening spent with our wonderful husband/Daddy at the local park/zoo having free pizza (from last night's baseball game), kicking the soccer ball around and going on the 5 mile loop that's there. My house is almost clean, though I still haven't found my one purse that I've been desperately searching for. My friend made it for me. Inside is my nursing cover, and it's been MIA for over three weeks now! I can't find it anywhere, and we live in a two bedroom apartment! If you've seen it or have a suggested place that I may have left it, please let me know! :)
Thanks for reading!
