Cats

Miles LOVES cats!! He meows all the time. So imagine how excited he was to play with the cats at my mom's house and at Lori's. Here he is trying to play with Lori's cats. Thank heaven they have been declawed!! I guess Miles pulled the tail of one cat and became enemy #1. Miles wasn't phased at the cat's growling and attempts to swipe his face! He just giggled everytime the cat tried to swat him. The other thing that made me laugh is how Miles got down on his belly to get on the cat's level every time he got close.

The other day James asked Miles if he was ok? and Miles said MEOW!! then he proceeded to repeat that every time we asked him if he was ok?!

James and I are not pet people. Visiting other people's pets are enough for us. However, I think I could be swayed to get a cat. James says he will not budge so Miles will have to live without!

Julia

Julia is so beautiful. I think her eyes remind me of jewels, just like her name. She's got a great apetite so she's super chubby and so fun to cuddle and squeeze! She is so funny. Peek-a-Boo is her favorite thing to do. We usually know she's awake when we hear her taking. She talks all the time and I swear she sings! Any time I sing she tries to join in. She loves her hands. She admires them all the time, it's like she's just impressed with how they look and what they can do. When Miles enters the room she instantly smiles or laughs. Of course she has a special bond with Lincoln and loves to lay next to him. Sometimes we plop Lincoln on top of her (he weighs less!) and they bolth laugh and laugh. We have to be careful though not to leave them lying too close together for very long because they aren't good yet at controling their movements and one of them usually ends up with a smacked face or pulled hair. We call her Jewles or Jewelzie, along with gorgeous, pretty lovely, etc!

Lincoln

Lincoln is a very happy and patient little guy. When he smiles he gets this look in his eyes that just melts my heart. He's very photogenic. He seems to know he needs to pose for pictures, it's adorable. His hair is gorgeous. At 8 months he's still got the bald spot on back but everywere else he's got long tight curly hair. His constant moving in my womb was a sign of things to come. He's incredibly active and really great at entertaining himself. He's very curious and already eyes Miles' toys like he's eager to play with them. He loves to laugh and is super ticklish! His nicknames are Linkie, Links, Binkie and Binks.

Miles

For Miles 2009 has been a year of great discoveries. His language skills are so amazing I can't believe he was only just begining to speak in sentences at the first of the year. Now he speaks like an adult and is very clever! He's a cuddle bug and often says "I want to hold you!" He loves his cousins and is turning into a wonderful big brother. He loves Thomas, Disney, Curious George, Super Why, Dinosaur Train and the list goes on. He's wearing size 4T and size 11 shoe. He's 40" tall, I know because he's tall enough to ride Soarin' at Disney! His new talents include: the best train noise I've ever heard, figuring out how to play kids games online (without the luxury of literacy) and clever sayings like: It's a yummy day! He's got an amazing memory and reminds us of things that happened so long ago we're often impressed. He's a good dancer but he's very shy. Things he's not so good at: brushing his teeth and potty training! We nicknamed him Milo James Thatch when he loved the Disney movie Atlantis.
