Nora at 3 years old is the most adorable human to ever grace this planet. Also the most sensitive and most clingy. So you take the good with the difficult, right? Just some cuteness I never want to forget.

Preparing Friendsgiving dinner and had out some heavy whipping cream. Nora asked me what it was. I told her it was heavy cream. She picked up and held it above her head and proclaimed, "It's not heavy to me, Mama!"

Matthew is always getting into trouble and keeping us on our toes. He is an escape artist and a climber and just a very energetic 2 year old. And still so tiny. He is adding new words to his vocabulary every day - but at almost 2.5 he still hasn't said mom. Here is a list of words he has said:

Thorton
Daddy
Eliza
Owie
Cracker
Water
Milk
Teacher
School
Shoes
Car
Door
Bye
Awww
TV
TIME! (baby signing time)
Cookie
Cereal
Buckle
Olivia
Abby
Book
Cow
Stop
Go

Seriously! All these words but not mama. And I know (trust me, baby #6, I KNOW) once he says I will be like, "Okay enough!" but it's not like he doesn't try to get my attention. He just howls and yells generic attention grabbing sounds until I look at him and he tells me what he wants. And eveyr time I tell him to say "mama"... some day!

Him and Nora are always hugging and playing and usually getting into trouble together. Nora will copy his behaviors and it drives me nuts. But I do love to see them playing together more and more.
