Whew. 8:45 pm, both kiddos in bed. It's strangely quiet around the Smolek house--something that doesn't happen too often. :) So I thought I'd take the QUIET time to sit and relax, check my email and write a bit! Our house has been full of laughter and smiles (for the most part) again this week. We've sure been enjoying our boys, they are amazing. :) So beautiful and funny!! Colby's saying "Da-Da" now, and has figured out how to make interesting noises with his mouth, something that never fails to make us laugh too. :) He has become an expert at rolling across the room, especially when we're trying to change his diaper!! All the sudden, he's butt up and so cute!! : ) Little jabber box, "talks" all the time. Happy camper, great eater, sleeping pretty good too. Ever since he got his own room, he's slept much better. Too independent for 7 mos. :) But oh so sweet. Puts his hand up on my face when I rock him with his bottle. Opens his mouth for kisses. : ) Little lover!! He scoots on his butt in the bathtub, across the whole tub and back, usually spittin and sputtering all the water he splashes up. Kiddo loves his bath, that's for sure. : ) Kind of like another son of mine....now it's not a bath, it's "Swim, Mom". : ) He's a smart little cookie--speaking of which, he pulled out my oven mitts tonite and told me he was going to bake. Cookies & Pizza. MY KIND OF KID. LOL. ; ) That kid is hilarious. I need a recorder on him at all times, so I could remember all the funny stuff he says in a day. I came in the house from work today, and he greeted me at the door, with a big "Hi Mom!"--and looked so cute, as his hair is all spiked up. : D He told me Joe did his hair, with hairspray! Joe is our babysitter's teenage son, whom I can just see is trying to get ready for school and here is Ryan at his side. : ) So Ryan quite often gets his hair done at Joy's house. :) Silly boy! So cute! Gets the biggest kick out of watching bunnies & birds & squirrels in our backyard. He's growing too fast. Seems like I just had him and he's edging too close to being 3. October will come so soon!! My biggie boy!! He was soooo excited Sunday, b/c he got to go to Children's Church instead of the nursery! Learned about Jonah & the Whale and thought it was sooo funny that the big fish swallowed that man!! And spit him back out!! : ) Oh, the things to come...
Otherwise, not anything too new or exciting on the home front. We're just hangin out, workin & playin, lovin it up. Nate & I were just talking, how we can't believe it's been 2 years since we moved to Columbus; 4 years since we got married; 8 years since we started dating. Thank you ShopKo!! ; ) It's been really good, and we are definately blessed beyond words.
