You know that saying, "kids say the darndest things?" Well, I just don't think it could be any more true. I also think what they say about how you talk to your children, becomes their inner voice, because I notice so many of my phrases that I say to the kids, Palmer repeating back to me in context.
"Be careful mommy!"
(When going in to the kids bedroom because Palmer is being loud and keeping Quinn up, and I knock into something in their room) "Shhhhhhhh! Mommy! Quiet, please!"
(Laying down on the couch) "I'm Santa, mommy! Do you want a present?" (It is definitely February! LOL!)
Going down the stairs, Palmer says "You want to hold me?" I told him that I would hold his hand, and that he had strong legs to walk down by himself, recently. He walked down our (steep cape cod) stairs, and as he kept saying "Good job, legs! You are strong legs! Good job!"
He is very encouraging. After we get done driving some place (whether I'm driving or Ross was) he says "That was good driving! Good job!" He also is very encouraging when one of us has been cooking. "Great cooking! You're a good cook, mommy/daddy!" We don't know if he's being genuine, or if he is scheming, but it is still cute!
Palmer is also starting to pretend play well. While he is playing, he'll say things like "I have a problem! I have to find the solution!" He likes to pretend that he is a doctor, and his favorite thing to do, is to take the scissors, and give me surgery.
Palmer, you are almost three, but sometimes it feels like we've been a family so much longer
. At times, you have your toddler moments, but those are greatly outweighed by your funny sayings and things you do! Love you Palmer Jerraid!
Pictures of you helping with daddy's birthday preparations last week! You helped make the cake, and you picked out a valentines balloon and a baseball bat for him at the dollar store. You were certain he would love those items! :)

A few Quinn pics! Quinn {almost} 1 year update!
Quinn Evelyn,
How could we have know how we'd love you so? How could we have known how sassy pants you would be.? And crazy? And dare devil woman? And full of joy? You are just the most perfect "you" that I could have ever dreamed up! At almost a year, this is you:
- You are nearly 20 pounds (19.5 when you stand on our home scale)
- You wear 12 month and 12-18 month clothing.
- You point at things that you want.
- You started waking up at night again... womp. womp. It's not every night, luckily!
- You share a room with your brother, and have since mid-December.
- You say Mom, Dad, dog, and you babble and "talk" about everything!
- You started walking about a month ago (around 10.5 months) and you are walking more and more!
- You get crazy when food or milk come out! You love grilled cheese, avocados, pears, oranges, and will try pretty much anything we put in front of you!
- You are learning how to use a sippy cup. Not super successful, but you are trying hard!
- Your brother is your VERY favorite person!
- You wave like Cray-zeeeee! Your zest for life is just adorable.
- You cannot help yourself. Music comes on, and you booty dance!
- You are so incredibly loved!
We are looking forward to so much in this next year! We look forward to you and your brother bonding more and more! We look forward to watching the two of you run around the yard this Summer. We look forward to watching you learn more and more - learn to talk, and learn about the world around you. We know your sense of humor will come out even more! You are so funny already!
Life without you, would be boring for sure! We love you, and are so happy to have spent the last (almost) year with you! We look forward to all the years ahead! To the moon and back, mighty Quinn!
Love you!
Mom, Dad, and Palmer
