Just funny kids.
So this morning Hunter asks to watch Barney, emphatically say, "Bahrn, Bahrn" over and over while pointing at the TV. I begin to get the movie started and Ben asks, from the peanut gallery, "Mom, I wanna watch the Blue movie from the library, please!" Hunter turns to Ben and with some serious gusto announces, "Uh-uh Brah-er, Uh Bahrn!" Hunter's very first sentence. I about peed with joy. Nevermind the inherent bickering taking place, Hunter spoke a sentence.
He started saying "Brah-er" about two weeks ago. My favorite use of "Brah-er" is when he says, "Ah-Ree brah-er" (sorry brother) just after hitting him, as though a "Ah-ree" makes it all better. Or perhaps, "Uh-uh, Brah-er!" That's cute, too. He's also started saying 'thank you' and 'please' although it comes out, "hee-yoo" and "eeez." He helps clean up vigorously, he understands ultimatums, he propels himself out of his crib with ease, uses the chair to scale the counter to get the food he wants, he puts grandma on speaker phone, and he does a time-out like a champ. I can't believe he'll be 2 in a month! I think dad will be in charge of giving Hunter his toddler bed this weekend. Hear that dad?
These pictures from yesterday delineate just how much Hunter talks now... he barely shuts up long enough for a picture to be taken. LOL.
Have a great day everyone!

Okay McCoy, we need to talk so sit your big sexy ass down. I was so pleased to hear Stumph and Misty weigh in on that body topic a few posts ago and I compelled to add my 2 cents.
Jamie you are a beautiful WOMAN! This said I also know that when you get ready in the morning and see the person you have become staring back at you, it is sometimes hard to find the truth. Maybe I can help a little by telling you what I see by reading about your life.
You are a MOTHER and a WIFE- a SOLDIERS WIFE.
You are a GARDNER, a COOK, and a BLOGGER.
You are a CRAFTER, a GRADUATE and a STUDENT.
You have made a FAMILY and a HOME.
And you are the STRENGTH that keeps that home together when your husband is gone.
You are a SISTER, a DAUGHTER, a FRIEND, and a LOVER.
And while these labels can not truly depict the person you see each morning, they help to remind us all of the important jobs you have chosen to undertake. These tasks make up the most important career anyone can take on; that of being a WOMAN.
You’ll notice none of these words have anything to do with the lumps and bumps in your butt. They don’t recognize the back fat or the tummy rolls and they certainly don’t care about the number printed on the label on your pants. Every day you work hard at being the best WOMAN you can be. There are moments where you fall down but Jamie, you don’t ever give up. You stand back up and you keep taking one step after another toward life. So I hope I never see you use those “failure” and “pathetic” words again. There are just too many other ways to give a picture of who you are. And when you do fall down, you’ve got many fabulous women around the country that will be more than happy to remind you how AMAZING you really are and how INSPIRATIONAL your life is to us.
Always,
Jennburwell
