EvaKate was 3 months about 10 days ago...I'm a little behind : ) wrapping up the baseball season and the school year has been a bit hectic. Plus I'm trying not to focus on it too much. 3 months to me marks the end of the newborn phase, which in a lot of ways is great, it means more interaction and personality. In others ways though it's hard. She's already so curious to see everything and seldom wants to just sit and snuggle as much. It just seemed to go by so quick! I'm looking forward to summer when I hopefully to get to just hang out with her a lot more.
She's so alert, and she knows her family. She smiles almost immediately when the boys or daddy starts talking to her. She's quite friendly as well, obliging most strangers with a smile. She is quite well behaved, she allowed us to go out for our first date night without her and she did fabulously. She doesn't hardly ever cry anymore, more just fusses when she's getting hungry or tired.
She has started to discover her hands and feet (although we've known about our thumb for quite some time...she's a thumb sucker!) and finds those quite interesting. She loves to talk. As soon as she sees someone she knows and they start talking to her, she usually responds back. In fact Jack just got up and came down and I can hear them having a little conversation right now.
She's pretty much perfect right now, ridiculously cute and fun. She has been such a wonderful and much adored addition to our family!
Switching to the second subject:
This is Josh's last week of kindergarten. It's been amazing to see the transformation that has occurred in the past year. He's a great reader and can read just about anything in front of him. The bummer news on this though is that spelling things out no longer works around him. He is a great writer as well and writes some hilarious stories.
It's fun to hear the teachers talk about your childs personality. He usually gets quite a few compliments from them, which is a bit surprising considering he's quite energetic and can talk like nobody's business. One of them told me he's a guys guy. I guess he's Mr. Tough Guy and whatever he's doing usually the others want to join in on. His other teacher told me how smart and sweet he was. I know most guys don't want to be known as sweet, but Josh really is, and I hope he can continue to balance being a guys guy and the sweetness which makes him so lovable. He genuinely cares about his family and isn't afraid to say so and talk about it at school. He adores his sister and is one of the greatest big brothers I've ever seen with her, so doting and caring. He wants to do good and thinks of others.
It's been a fun year to watch him grow in intelligence, awareness, self-discipline and independence. I love watching what a little man he's becoming! Pretty proud of his so far as well! Can't wait to see what 1st grade has in store for us!
