Feb 27:
We went shopping with my mom and sister. We spent a lot of time at one store and Molly got hot and bored. When we were leaving she said, "I'm so glad we are done. That was so hot and...like...fashionable." Big sigh.

Jan 7:
"Dad, today was so busy I didn't even get an opportunity to fight with boy."

January 2012:
Stockton found some Tums and was wanting to eat them. I told him no because they would make him sick. Molly explained it further:
"Stocky, it's just like what the devil does. He makes something look really good or exciting but it's not really that good or exciting at all."

November 1:
"Mom, can I have some ranch for my carrots? Oh never mind, I didn't know they were melted." (cooked carrots, rather than raw)

November 1:
"Wow, this water is ice hot!"

October:
Every time a decision has to be made, Molly plays eeney-meeney-miney-moe . She tries to do it so nobody notices but I know exactly what she is doing!

8-30
Molly and I were playing a guessing game in the car. I was trying to get her to guess the word "arrow."
Me: "It points you in the right direction..."
Molly: "Jesus!!"

8-12
Molly was reading the story of Nephi getting the brass plates: "And then Nephi found Laban and he was drooped." (she meant drunk)

7-15
Molly was playing with an attachment for the vacuum-twirling it in the air like a baton. "Mom, watch me crouton this!"

6-26
Molly told us this joke on the way home from church:
Which ghost has the best hearing?
The eeriest!

6-13
Molly trying to get Stockton to say "helicopter:"
"Stocky, say hell. Stocky say hell."

6-12
To Stockton: "The car won't say hi back to you, buddy."

6-10
Molly and Gavin were eating sour watermelon candy when Molly asked Gavin, "Do you want me to suck the sour off for you?"

April 29: starts sleeping in a "big boy" bed

May 2011: gets confused with hot and cold-calls everything hot; becomes obsessed with cars and trucks; can finally say his own name

May 30: Figured out how to climb to the top bunk-yikes!

end of May/early June- Stockton's last tooth comes in

August: says "Da-ee" and "Mo-ee" for Daddy and Molly

August 17: poops in the toilet!

August 21: pees in the toilet

September: calls Justin "Daddi-o" (he does this when he's happy, angry, sad, silly, you name it!); knows all his colors; counts to ten: "one, free, four, ten!"

October 2nd: We were watching General Conference. Stockton heard the congregation laugh after something President Monson said so he giggles and says: "Si-ee prophet."

November 5: Justin and I were watching a college football game downstairs long after we'd put the kids to bed. All of a sudden we hear Stockton clear upstairs yell "Tackle football game!" and run downstairs to watch.

November: His night-time farewell: "Night-night M&M face head!" in the silliest voice he can muster. He came up with it on his own.

November: At dinner each night we say what we are thankful for. Every time we ask what he is thankful for he says "crayons." All month long.

Dec 15:
"Stocky, is daddy a boy or a girl?"
"A boy."
"Is Stockton a boy or a girl?"
"Boy."
"Is mommy a boy or a girl?"
"Girl."
"Is Molly a boy or a girl?"
"Girl."
"Is Brynn a boy or a girl?"
"A baby."

December: It's been fun watching Stockton get excited for Christmas. He says "Merry Santa!"

Dec 21: Stockton has croup. He had to get a steroid shot.

Jan 12: Just playing tonight and out of the blue Stockton says, "Dad, I be baby Jesus!" and lays down on Justin's chest

Jan 19: Stocky is constantly telling us this joke he make up:
"Mom, I have a joke for you."
"What?"
"What you eat for breakfast?"
"What?"
"A crib!"
And then he says the whole thing again.

late February: Asking Stockton why Brynn is crying (he hit her):
"Stockton, why is Brynn crying?"
"Whaaaa!"
"No, Stockton, why is Brynn crying?"
"Whaaaa!"
He gets his "who, what, where, when, why, and how's" a little mixed up.

Feb. 28: Stocky threw his binkies away today!!

Mar. 1: love that he says cute things like:
"doonin'" = doing
"Hold you" when he wants to be held

Mar. 25: "Mom, let's go play rice frisbee."
(He wants to play catch with the frisbee.)

mid July-starts playing with her toes

September 7-turns 6 months old and has her first taste of baby food: rice cereal

September 11-Brynn's been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking forward and backward for very short amounts of time. I'm hoping that crawling is still a long way off!

September 18-She's been practicing sitting up on her own and is getting so strong. She can sit on her own for long periods of time now and only falls over when she is reaching for something.

September: Molly and Stockton have been calling her "coo-coo"

October 5: starts crawling!

October 20: Today she went from crawling to sitting. She is also trying so hard to pull herself up on things.

October 31: First Halloween. Noticed today that her first tooth was starting to come in. On the bottom (middle left).

November 30: Second tooth. Bottom, middle, right.

end November: Brynn has not been sleeping well. She's always gone right back to sleep when I feed her but now she's up for hours at a time. We've had to start letting her cry it out if she wakes up before a certain time at night.

December: saying "ma ma" a lot

December: Brynn has been mimicking us. At dinner we all put both arms in the air and she smiles and does the same.

December 10: Brynn stood on her own for literally a full 5 seconds! She starts doing this more and more over the next few weeks. She's getting very brave.

December 12: Noticed first tooth coming in on the top. Middle right.

Dec 19: first ponytail!

Dec 25: starts walking along furniture

last week in December: Justin's been holding Brynn's fingers and helping her walk all around the house. She is getting so strong and is actually very stable.
