Thoughts on Life

Jilli is walking more and more. She's been able to walk for like 6 weeks, but was fairly unstable and really preferred crawling. While each day she's gotten a bit better, just the last couple of days she's really taken off. She can now walk the full length of a room before she topples over. I think before long we'll have a full-time walker on our hands. Jilli is also working on communicating with us. She loves to nod or shake her head, and I really think for the most part that she understands what we're saying. She'll say "la la" for love you and when she's really excited to see someone she'll bust out with a loud "HI!" Her hair is growing so much and looks so cute in pig tails. It still has some curl in it, so we'll see if that sticks or straightens out with time.
The boys continue to do well. Jaxton has really taken to learning, drawing, and writing. I had Mac's parent/teacher conference and Mrs. Kirby said that Mac excels in math and writing. He does well in reading and is very social, motivated, and an asset to the class. We are super proud of all that he is accomplishing. Beckam continues to be independent, loving, and wonderful! I LOVE my sweet boys!
Jaxton went to the dentist this last week and afterwards the hygienist told me the conversation that they had.
Jaxton: Can you give me a shot instead of the stuff over my mouth?
Hygienist: If you'd like.
Jaxton: And you might see a couple tears come out of my eyes when you do it, but don't worry because I'm brave and I know that shots only make me healthy. And one more thing: how long do you think this is going to take because I have a play date at the park that I need to get to.
The hygienist thought he was the funniest kid and said that he was the most wonderful patient. Jaxton is definitely such a character.
