Turner at 15 months

Since I haven't done an update on Turner in a while I thought I should so I don't forget all the things going on around here. At his 15 month visit he weighed 25 lbs 5 oz and was 31 1/2 inches. He is on the heavier side. He still wears his 12-18 month clothes so he is not too big. I think its those cheeks that weigh him down. He is a sweet little boy!!! He loves to eat and will eat just about anything. He loves his fruits and veggies (unlike his sister). He is a big milk drinker --- my two can put away a gallon in about 2 days. I don't touch it so it is all them. He is NOT walking but that is fine with me. He is fast enough on his knees. He has gotten two teeth and has one on the way. The two teeth he got first were his molars. The one coming next is the top front tooth. He does things his own way. He still takes two good naps and goes to bed at 7:30 with his lovie and pop pop and usually wakes up around 7:30 am. He is such a good sleeper. He is in preschool and loves to be around his teachers and friends. He does so well. He can call Maggie. He also says mine (my), moma, Maggie, baby (that's what he calls Babe). He signs thank you, lovie and milk. He has learned how to blow kisses and make the sound, he waves goodbye and also waves goodnight when he gets lovie and pop pop. He does a lot of grunting and Maggie and I just give in to it and give him what he wants. He loves his Poppy. The minute he sees Poppy his arms go up in the air. Maggie and him now play a lot together. They have gotten to where they will just roll in the floor playing together or on my bed. I hope that they can always be great friends. Turner --- I love you more than words can express. You are such a sweet little boy and I hope that you continue to be so loving and sweet. Thank you so much for all your sweet smiles in the morning - you always make me smile. I love you so much!!!

Cherry's Jonquils

Cherry has the most wonderful field full on Jonquils. I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to take pictures in the field. One weekend while we were in town they were in full bloom. I asked Trevor to bring the girls so we could get a picture of all four grand kids together. So late in the afternoon we got together and got some great pictures. Cherry and David came out to visit with us and so the kids played on the swing set and also Miss Cherry let the big girls feed the deer. Maggie had not forgotten from the last time we were there and she wanted to bang on the bucket. We had a great time, got some great pictures and enjoyed visiting with Cherry and David. Thanks for letting us play in the field. Not a good sign when this is one of the first pictures that you get. It did get better -- I promise.

I love this picture. They are ALL looking and halfway smiling.

Love this --- so sweet and innocent

Oh yea and I love this one too.

Two sweet girls --- They had a great time picking flowers.

What a doll.

Walking with assistance. No desire to walk alone.

" Look what I picked"

I love this picture too!

Turner and Uncle Trevor

Jorgia just wanted to be included with the big girls. She would just follow them all around.

There is the bucket full of corn and apple peel. Maggie remembers what to do.

Relaxing on the slide.

She was taking the flowers to Poppy and wanted them to be a surprise.

Dallas Blooms

A little while back we went to the Dallas Arboredum. Dallas Blooms is going on and so I knew that the flowers would be fabulous and we could get some great pictures. Sherry always loves to dress the kids alike so one day while returning some things to Janie and Jack she and I picked out some outfits that all coordinated. It was right before St. Patricks day so it would be perfect for that holiday. I think that they looked very cute and Sherry was in heaven. I love for my kids to match but getting 5 to match was a little more difficult. We went around 10 and stayed all afternoon. My kids were so tired when we left. We took pictures, ate a picnic lunch, played in all the fairy tell castles, rolled down the big hill, played hide and seek and sat in the grass and just enjoyed our friends. The weather was just perfect!!! We had such a great day and I am so happy that we all could get together and have fun!!!

One of the many attempts at 5 children in the picture with smiling faces.

Best Friends!!!

I love this picture!!

More, More --- he is using his sign language more and more each day.

Playing chase

We had balloons --- not sure if that is allowed or not so I made Sherry give them to other kids before we left that area.

I couldn't believe that he took a nap while everyone was playing.
