Wesley David: 3 years old

 Wesley David, your third birthday was one for the books! It was the craziest little party we have ever thrown. We invited way too many people and every single one of them came! You asked for a space theme, and we celebrated with pizza, s'mores, and glow sticks gallore! Daddy gave you your first watch, which you wore so proudly. You requested a blue cake when we celebrated with just the 4 of us.

Wesley David: 2 years old

 We celebrated Wesley turning 2 doing his favorite thing, playing outside! Wesley loves the trees and playing around with sticks and rocks and being barefoot and silly. All of his favorite people came to join in on it with him, and he had such a sweet time. 

Amelia June: 9 months

Clothes: 9-12 months!

Likes: Stairs! And crawling up them as fast as she possibly can! 

Dislikes: When someone she doesn't know holds her....or makes eye contact with her. This little girl has gone full speed ahead with stranger danger! If she doesn't know you (well, even if she does but isn't interested in being held by you at that moment) she will let her feelings be known! She's been a bit clingy, but she's also been teething quite a bit lately, so who can blame her. 

Social: She loves Ben so much this month! He plays peak-a-boo at the kitchen table with her and she just eats it up. He has her cackling!  

Milestones: She has 3 teeth! Sweet girl has been working hard on them! He laugh is the best, we say its as if she's "laughing bubbles" with the sweet sound she makes! She took her first big trip, we went to Kentucky to the Arc Encounter, and then Dino World, followed by Mammoth Cave National Park. She did great!!

Amelia June: 8 months

 Weight:  Unsure until next month, I believe! She is somehow the most petite and roley little thing!

Clothes: 6-9 months, still! 

Likes: She loves her siblings and finally likes eating! It took her a while to get into it, thankfully we turned a corner this month! 

Dislikes: Still when Ben sits on her, ha! She is grabbed often by her siblings that lover her so much, but she enjoys her independence. Sleeping through the night! Sweet little thing still protests it and will wake up once a night. 

Social: She loves being home and with her family, but will warm up to others...if mama is out of sight! 

Milestones: She still doesn't sit up, but is crawling! Who would have thought that would come first? She is eating like a champ, anything we put in front of her. 

Benjamin Harner: 2 years old!

 Weight:  TBD! His checkup is later this month!

Likes: So much. He is such a sweet little guy. He likes toast first thing in the morning (cinnamon)! He also loves his favorite book, Night Night Narwhal, he will ask for it at nap and bedtime and loves looking for the duck and bubbles in it. He still lights up when he sees David. He also loves saying goodbye to people when they leave and closing the door behind him. He also says "bye bye" to nearly everything..."bye bye cow!" "bye bye ewie!" (when he gets his diaper changed) etc. He loves his baby sister Amelia and bringing her walker to her while he pushes his lawnmower. He loves shoes and will often bring us a pair to wear, or ask us to put his on him and wear them around all day (or even nap). He loves bath time and playing around in with Millie, or Penny and Wes. He also loves brushing his teeth and we will regularly find him in the bathroom brushing his teeth (with just water) throughout the day. He loves Wall-e and cows! He loves to cuddle and always asks David and I to "duddle" with him. He will sit on the sofa and pat the spot next to him and say "duddle!" when he wants company. He loves his trains and cars and magnet tiles. 

Dislikes: Sharing! Sweet boy has a hard time sharing a toy, or not having all of the same kind of toy. Thankfully millie is still little enough not to be horribly offended when he takes things from her, hah! He has a hard time waking up and just takes a while to fully wake up and be happy. He wants snuggles for quite some time afterwards! 

Social: He has such sweet little friends. He plays with Judah so well, and talks about him often! He also plays regularly with his buddies Hudson and Jett. He loves to follow along with what the bigger kids are doing, or watch them while they're doing something he's not terribly interested in (like sledding, he loves watching penny and wes sled!) He hardly cries anymore at Sunday school drop off (unless someone else is already crying!) but calms down so quickly if he does. He plays so well with his friends in there and enjoys soft play with them. 

Milestones: He is starting to talk a lot more! We say his mind works faster than his mouth at this point, he is still learning words and is picking up new ones almost every day, but he still is learning to piece them together. He has moved up to a bigger kid class at church, which is always a bit bittersweet!
