Where did the year go??
Really? I mean not even 330 some days ago it was January 1st….
My semester is over and I already have my classes registered for next semester…I do like the torture….
Since Knoah has turned 3, we have learned a few things.
1. He is obsessed with Spongebob. With it being DVR’d every time it comes on, there are episodes he has memorized…
2. He really does know how to play with his Nintendo DS. Moves the characters up and down, scoring points.
3. Has become a bit more whiny than normal and is a lot more protective of his things. Hitting the first person that takes something of his…not cool.
4. He is still short.
I am finishing up Christmas shopping and have a dilemma. He’s growing out of his 6 to 9 month pants, but 12 months are too long. The only thing I am thinking is do I have to bust out the sewing machine?? I hope not yet.
I am trying to get creative with his clothing. Buy age appropriate, no baby blue pull on pants and such but jeans are hard to come by at 6-9 months. Especially the ones without the diaper snaps.
He is picking up “bad habits” from his older brother and sister….who said they wouldn’t get along so well?
As of late, his favorite saying is “Shut up (insert name)” Agh! Will and I were talking the other day and I had remarked about how funny it is to see him become a little man. His walk is changing, he is more confident, his voice is becoming more clear and deep. He knows what he wants, when he wants but sadly the only thing that hasn’t changed is his temper…. quite laughable really. The only thing he wants to do is play the Wii, his DS or watch Spongebob. He tells me “no” that he’s not taking a bath and will go into the fridgerator and run with his food of choice.
Yes, he’s growing up. He isn’t a baby anymore.
What am I talking about, he will ALWAYS be my baby!!
The stares from the public are also changing, no longer do I get that lok of confusion, it has turned into a look and remarks of “Oh my goodness, look at him, he’s SO CUTE!” I find this strangly more acceptable. He is not seen as a child who is not “normal” he is seen as a child, who is different, but still a child.
This year has gone by so quickly! I cannot believe it! We have been in our new home now a year and are making this small house work for us, which I thought we’d never do. We are weeding through old toys, clothing and other stuff to help “un-clutter” years of gathering items. Still, I have a hard time letting go of things I find dear. I also realize that material items are just that and family is precious.

Knoah and Trace will get along beautifully when they meet (unless one of them tries to take the other’s toy)! Did you see the Wii SpongeBob game? I thought of you guys when I saw it the other day. So glad that things are working out in your new house!

Three …. I cant believe we are three months away from three in our house! Knoah and Caden’s interest sound quite similar! Their “naughtiness” too! I love the pics of the kids … especially Knoah in his chair with his game :0)

Oh geez, is this what I have to look forward to at 3 years?! I do say, it is better than the terrible 2’s!!! I can’t wait! I love how he is already playing with DS! He must be one smart cookie! Yay for the changing of stares and having more acceptance and adoration comments!!! Great pictures of all the kids! They are all so beautiful!!!

You’re kids are so adorable! I love that last picture of Knoah – just want to hug him! I know for the first two years with Simon that we kept saying how fast time was flying by, but now with two boys, it seems to be flying by even faster!
Congrats on finishing the semester and already registering for next!
We found that 12 month Wrangler jeans (I think my mom got them at Sears) fit Simon well in the waist and length (no altering or rolling needed!). Length-wise, he wears about 9 month pants, but they don’t fit him in the waist.
I’m so glad that your new home is working for you guys! Merry Christmas!!

Love my Knoah. Love you! It’s been a long year hasn’t it honey? Here’s to a great 2010 for both of us! You are a super mom and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an amazing friend.
(Did I make you cry?) LOL!
