My smart little boy

I need a post just to brag about some of the things Titus is doing now. I am so shocked and impressed with him. His biggest development lately is in his language skills. If I remember right, most little kids I know start stringing 2 words together around 2 years old. Titus is 16 months and is already doing this! His 2 word combinations include: thank you, all done, all gone, sippy broke, I stuck, it stuck, sippy down, spoon down, cracker down...and he seems to be coming up with more every day. I am amazed at how well he communicates what he wants for his age!

We've started watching some letter videos every day to help Raquelle with her alphabet. Titus is picking up on his letters and their sounds just as fast as she is! He sees the A on TV and will tell you "AAAA". Today he was "reading" a book to Raquelle. It was a book of opposits. He got to the page with the bear on the slide and said "Up! Down!" And yes, it was the up down page in the book. My parents have always told me I was talking in sentances at 18 months. I thought that was likely a bit of an exageration (especially after how long it took Raquelle to talk in sentances!) Now I'm starting to believe them since Titus looks like he is on his way to being a very early talker!

PS - Does "no no" count as a 2 word combination? If so that's another one he says. :)

This is even more unusual because the language on the younger child is usually slower because the older one tends to "translate" and they don't have to talk as much. Of course we all know you have such brilliant precocious children. --from an extremely biased MT grandma

He must be like his mommy who talked in full complete sentences at 18 months. Watch out for what just might come out of that little mouth. Grandma K

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
