A Few of My Favorite Things, Vol. 2

A few things I hope to always remember...and because I have the world's worst memory, I thought I ought to write them down. :)

• The way Lukey says "oooweee" when I tell him I'm going to change his stinky diaper. 
• When Cade randomly tells us he loves us. 
• Lukey's fits...when he gets upset he takes off walking/stomping through the house really fast.  It's hysterical!
• The way Cade wakes up so happy.  He literally jumps out of bed with the cutest smile and will often say, "Mommy, I had a great night!" (whether he did or not).  As the complete opposite of a morning person, I SOOOO wish I woke up the same way!
• How Luke rubs his eye with the back of his hand when he's feeling shy.
• The way Cade says the name of his friend "Wyatt" at school.  He calls him "Quiet" and I laugh out loud every time. 
• I'm in love with everything Luke says.  His language has developed so fast that sometimes I wonder if he's okay.  Last night he climbed up on the couch, turned on the TV (which I had no idea he knew how to do) and said, "That's better."  Seriously?  You're barely 16 months old!  We're in trouble!  He will chime in with the words he knows in a few songs and surprised me tonight by adding a few letters of the alphabet when I paused in the song.  I'm truly fascinated by everything that comes out of his mouth.
• Cade's love of hats.  He picks one out from Todd's hat rack nearly every morning. 
• I love the way that Luke can be wide awake at bedtime, but the second I start to sing "Hush Little Baby" to him he puts his head on my chest and begins to rub his eyes and yawn....Pavlov's dogs style.
• The way Cade says "sumpin'" for something.
• Luke's underbite.
• Cade's love of school and his friends and teachers.  He's so very outgoing.  He yells hi and bye to Ms. "Nalita" (Lanita...hahahahahaha) and his other friends and teachers every day.  He sometimes does the same to complete strangers. 
• Luke's love and admiration for Cade.  I just pray that those feelings reciprocate over the years! 

It's hard to imagine that these days that are so sweet and delicious to us will not even by remembered by C & L.  We love you both to pieces!
