Toddler "Naughty" Words

A while ago I posted here videos of Declan saying things that sounded like he was cursing. Well, here is another one. It makes me laugh to hear toddlers talk and words coming out to sound like curse words. Austin LOVES it and always asks Declan to say these things and likes to show it off to his friends.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Today we decided to do some decorating for Christmas. I used to decorate for all of the holidays, then some fell off the wayside (like Easter) and even this year I didn't decorate for Autumn/Halloween even though I love my scarecrows, but Christmas will NEVER go without decorating. I LOVE decorating for Christmas!

I realized this year that I don't have many ornaments that are condusive for young children, but we made do with what I had and they boys enjoyed helping decorate the tree.

Wherever Corin put an ornament Declan wanted to put his in the exact same place. So we had bunches around the tree. Shane asked me if I was going to re-arrange the tree after they were finished and I said No. I have realized to let go and not have it be so perfect and that it is fun to look at the tree and know that my boys did the decorating of it. So the top half was mine and the bottom half was theirs.

This year Declan got to put the star on top of the tree, which he was thoroughly excited about. We had to explain to Corin that he has been able to do it the past few years and now Declan is old enough that he gets to have a turn.

Well, we had to have a little help from Daddy.

He Said WHAT?!?!?

I think on of the fun and definitely funniest things with children is listening to them learn how to talk epecially the way the come out sounding. When they are first learning it is so sweet and cute to listen to them say their first word (so far its been Dada) and as they get older to hear their vocabulary grow. And then it comes to when they can speak but words don't sound exactly as they should, so you have to be a translater and then some come out sounding like naughty words. Declan is 2yrs 9months it makes me just laugh to listen to him! So here are my favorite funny speaking moments!

Who Does He Look Like?

This is an age old question. Whether it's your first child and they are asking which parent/side of the family he looks like or when you have more which sibling he looks like. I am getting the latter question recently. At first I thought he looked like Corin because I found this picture of Corin.

 Corin approx. 1.5-2months

Teagan 7days

Both of his legs are in one leg hole of his pjs. Him being so small and I only have 3month size pjs he would always get his legs in one leg hole since most of the time they were scrunched up.

But then I saw this picture I took of Teagan at 5days.

 And thought of this picture of Declan at approx. 1.5months

Well, at least we know what family be belongs to since he looks similar to both of his brothers. We'll see who he looks more like as he gets older.

They all sleep similar as well

Corin approx. 2months

Declan approx. almost 1months
