Hannah and Luke Update

Luke is four months old now. The time has just flown by even faster than I could have imagined. Luke is such a cuddlebug and I love snuggling with him. He coos all the time and laughs hard at anything Hannah does for him. He smiles at everyone and is getting chubbier all the time. He is a joy to us. He rolled over for the first time sometime in Feb. and now you can't keep him on his tummy for too long. He has found his feet and plays with them all the time. He has been grabbing and holding on to toys for a while now and trys to put everything in his mouth. He can't always get in there but he's working on it. He is trying to roll from his back to his tummy now. I think is is going to be an active one.

Hannah is loving being a big sister now. She wasn't so sure about mommy and daddy giving all that attention to Luke in the beginning but of course she doesn't even know any different now. We have tried potty training a couple of times but with the arrival of Luke things got complicated and well she's still in diapers for now. She is such a smart little cookie. She loves reading books and telling us stories. She starts all her stories out with "Once upon a time". Today she told one about me that went something like this - once upon a time there was momma who was the most beautiful momma in the whole wide world - needless to say that one is my favorite:) I bought a rhyming bible and Lindvall children's bibles for Hannah and Luke about a week ago. I highly recommend both of them. Hannah loves them. They used the Lindvall bibles at Harding Academy with the preschoolers there. I always remember loving them. They are just perfect for telling little ones God's story. Hannah loves playing with her toys of course and is getting a little bit more independant playing in her room by herself for a little while each day. She likes to be where I am and plays near me most of the time. She is such a good helper with Luke. She will hold a toy in front of him and play with him if he is fussy and I'm busy. She throws all his dirty diapers in the trash for me and brings him a pacifier if he needs one. She calls him "little buddy". Life with the two of them is really busy but it is so sweet.
