The Littles!

Well it's been a while since I've posted and the littles are not so little anymore. Josiah is saying many words, "no, no, no, no" primarily. He likes to say this word repeatedly when his siblings come around! He will also say, "what's this?" and "here it is," "Stitch," "more," "mom and dad,""baby," and lots more. Sometimes he will say a word repeating it but won't say it again on command. His vocabulary and communication have picked up quickly in the recent weeks. He's also started playing a lot with his siblings. He tries seriously hard to keep up! He's also a little comedian and loves to make us laugh. He roughed up his forehead about 3 weeks ago on the cement and it's taking forever to heal. Now every photograph of him has the proof that he fell outside :/.

Oh and he was Nemo for Halloween. Following in the footsteps of his big bro and sis. Yah for unisex costumes ;).

Elizabeth went to the doctor last month and weighs only two pounds more than her little brother. She is still tiny but growing on her 15 percentile growth chart. She is a monster that loves to beat up on Jojo, but it looks like he'll be bigger than her in no time ;). She also loves to learn. She is more involved with ABC's and 123's than Gabriel. She might be my good student! 

We've been going to the park a whole lot as the weather this Fall has been beautiful! Plus it helps get all the kids' energy out!

Gabriel is smart as ever, except for when it comes to his school work. I'm hoping to homeschool him next year, and praying that he gets in gear for learning. Otherwise I am not sure what we will do. Maybe move to a better school district?! He will listen to his teachers (Sunday School), just not me. So it's proven difficult to measure what he knows since he won't repeat anything back to me. His attention span is also about that of a gnat unless it's Curious George, Transformers, Iron Man, or other T.V. (Netflix) show. Hopefully he will have a desire to learn next year ;). He's an awesome big brother and always is gentle with Josiah (Liz not so much).  

I am busy as ever with work and raising these youngins but I wouldn't have it any other way! Until next time....
