It's so hard to believe that these two are actually EIGHT months old!!! Craziness! I can't remember what in the world life was like before them. Life right now is SO MUCH FUN! They have brought us SO MUCH joy and hapiness and make each and every day an ADVENTURE! They are learning and doing so many new things right now and their personalities are really starting to show through. They are both EXTREMELY mobile and I am constantly chasing babies throughout the house. I am pretty sure Tucker Boy will be walking in the next month or so because he is ready to go! Sissy may take a little while, but won't be far behind.
Here's an update on my two loves:
Tucker Rope
Weight: around 18 and a half pounds (on our scale)
Diaper Size: 3
Shoe Size: 3-4
Clothing Size: 9-12 months
Teeth: 6 total! 2 on bottom and 4 on top!
Hair: brownish red
Favorite Food: milk, oatmeal with apple and cinnamon, sweet potatoes, puffs
Favorite Activities: Getting into things he shouldn't (haha), dumping out the basket of toys, walking in the walker
Favorite Toys: mommy's shoes, mommy's feet, mommy's hair, the walker
Looks Like: Mostly mommy...definitely has the Freeman gene!
Acts Like: probably mommy too
Loves: walking, standing, giving kisses, talking, playing with sissy
Dislikes: eating veggies, rocking, getting hit by sissy, teething
Personality: Tucker continues to be our sensitive one. He gets his feelings hurt easily and lets you know it! He is in to EVERYTHING! We have to constantly watch him because he is always on the go! He loves Mommy and Grammy and does not like his routine to be changed. He is also sensitive if someone new comes in. He talks constantly, moves constantly, and eats constantly! He is our CHUNK! He is so fun when he wakes up in the morning and is excited for the day. He is NOT a fan of teething and it usually wakes him up several times during the night if new teeth are coming in.
Adelyn Marie
Weight: around 16 and a half pounds (on our scale)
Diaper Size: 2
Shoe Size: 2-3
Clothing Size: 6-9 months
Teeth: 2 on bottom
Hair: red
Favorite Food: everything! She is definitely her daddy's girl! She loves her some green bean!
Favorite Activities: Being cute, playing with toys, playing in the saucer, dancing
Favorite Toys: saucer, duckie, the house, blocks
Looks Like: Mostly daddy...she is our schoen baby!
Acts Like: daddy too...super easy going and happy most of the time
Loves: being held and cuddled, rocking, playing, watching Praise baby, eating food
Dislikes: teething, being hungry
Personality: Adelyn is still our clown! She is our joy and our sunshine. She can brighten every day by her super sweet smile and grin! She loves to dance and laugh and is rarely in a bad mood. She mainly only fusses when hungry. Sissy loves bubba and is sometimes too rough for him. She takes his hitting and poking in stride and tries to keep up with everything he does. She got sick for the first time this week and it literally broke my heart! Adelyn is our sweet sweet sissy girl!
Baskteball Season
One of the biggest challenges we are about to face is BASKETBALL season! It is hard to believe that it is already that time of year, but we had our first scrimmage this past week. Basketball is Derek's BIG season, which means he will be gone quite a bit. This will be a big change for this family because I have never gone through a basketball season as a MOM! Coordinating schedules, making it to games, doing baths and bedtime on my own, and missing daddy are going to be quite a challenge! I am SO thankful for the time we have had so far with him at home and so excited to watch him begin his first season at Miles! We are excited to cheer for the RED and WHITE but are going to be missing having our daddy at home!
Blessed beyond Measure
With it being November, several people are posting daily thanksgivings for the blessings in our lives. I feel like this year especially has been Thanksgiving every day! We cannot stop thanking our God for the blessing of these two precious babies! We are so thankful for the time we spent together, for the time of waiting that God used to prepare our hearts, and for his faithfulness in fulfilling our hearts' desires. We serve a MIGHTY God who know our needs so much more than we know our own. We have thankful hearts each morning when we wake up and thankful hearts as we go to bed each night. Some days are harder than others, but are lives are overflowing with joy from God's goodness. Our prayer is that we never stop thanking Him, never stop praising Him, and give all glory to Him for these precious miracles. God is SO SO good!
"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." 2 Corinthians 4:15
