Whoah,

Man guys I thought I was slacking last year?! I haven't posted in almost a year. Bode you're 16 months in five days and Tyden you will be three in less than two months! Life is busy and fun. You two make each other laugh a lot. Bode you put up with a lot of wrestling from T. You have crawled like a champ for a long time now. You have gotten really fast! You never belly or army crawled. Always all up on hands and knees. If you get away on a surface that's cold or scratchy and your knees are exposed you will go up on feet and hands. It's funny! You stand if holding a support but not on your own and you haven't attempted to walk. You're not even that into it when we hold onto you and encourage walking. In time...in your time. You get so happy when dad is around. You wave bye to people. You give great kisses, puckering up and holding it. You say thanks when we give you things you are wanting. You say dada and nanny a lot and I think I am hearing you say Tyden. Sounds a lot like dada but with a twist. You call me mama some. You call all dogs Ace. Meems has been out of town a lot and when she's around you want her to hold you a lot. We went to TX last week and got some great quality time with the Greene and McKinney crew. Papa took you home a couple nights and got you to bed. You sleep well now. It hasn't always been that way. You eat better than ever and I think that helps. You sleep about 12 hours a night and nap twice a day. You suck your thumb and relax easily.
Tyden you're a snuggler. You happily give me a kiss whenever I ask with a smile.  My back hurt the other day and you rubbed it telling me it was all better. Thanks for wanting to help and take the pain away. You love riding your bike and you're fast. You and dad ride the dirt hills around here and you love the adventure. You are testy. You get in moods to see what you can get away with. Sometimes squealing with joy as you run the opposite direction I ask you to. Makes me so nervous when it's not safe. You enjoy your friends and flexing your muscles to show us how strong you are. You are a great story teller and re-enact people, sometimes animals and often yourself.
The days and weeks cruise by. I love you two so much!
