snow through the eyes of si

It's been amazing to see Silas' language skills constantly growing every day. He's making his own versions of sentences with two to three words in them. My new favorite happens to be when he just says "hi mommy" or "hi daddy" when we haven't left his presence for hours. He repeats it as if he finally understands the joy of greeting someone. Then, "aw vue mommy" (I love you mommy) or "aw vue daddy" out of no where pretty much makes your heart stop. These past few days he looks outside and just says, "SNOW PLEASE!"

There are so many quirky and amazing things that Silas does on a regular basis, and I just don't want to forget them, nor do I want to wish away some of life's greatest moments. So here's my "loving the twos" list: ~ I love how Silas wants everyone to enjoy whatever food he is eating. He will demand that you try any food he's currently consuming with pleasure.

for the love of windows

Some rainy cold days have allowed for some fun craft days. Thank you to Pinterest and the Dollar store for making valentines activities so cheap. a little press and seal and crayons makes for great wall paper. i wonder how long he'll be fascinated with bubbles After enjoying heart stickers for an hour, we attempted to pull them off with no luck... neither fingers or goo gone seems to work. At least I love my son more than my windows. With daddy out of town for a few days, Silas had some big shoes to fill. ~CB
