Happy Sunday

We are BACK from North Carolina and getting back into the swing of things. The fridge is restocked, the living room is covered with toys again, and the laundry is (almost) caught up. It was so great to be back at church today. Silas even stayed in sunday school the whole time, so a sucker was in order. 

This was before his sweater was covered in sucker juice. A bib is required from now on. 

.....

We finally made it to a basketball game to watch Ben coach this weekend. Silas spotted him on the court immediately. He kept pointing and saying, "daddy, dad, my daddy" ect. Too cute. He didn't sit still for more than two minutes, obviously, but had a blast climbing up and down the bleachers and flirting with the older ladies around us. 

After the game Silas got to run around the court and play around with the basketball. He didn't want to leave, which is good cause this kid will probably grow up in the gym. 

Best friends reunited at last <3

These two played while Montana and I caught up, with the occasional interruption of Silas stealing Ivy's toys. We are working on the whole sharing thing :)

It's good to be back home, although that means our time in North Carolina has ended. We really cherished every day we had with my family. I accidentally left my camera there (insert crying face here) but pictures will be posted once I get it back. There are so many cute ones! 

one and a half

My sweet Silas is 18 months. How did that happen? One and a half years old..

As sad as it is to see less of my little baby and more of my toddler, this is such a fun age! 

Every day I am in awe at how grown up and smart he is. He is constantly making me and everyone around him smile and laugh. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him from the past week. 

There are too many cute things he does for my brain to remember. And these memories are too precious to forget. 

some of the things he loves right now are:

Playing the guitar and singing with his sweet little voice. It is the cutest thing. 

Any kind of music. He loves to dance to it - his best moves are the head bob and spinning. This kid will spin until he falls over. 

He loves his Buddy (his lovey). He always finds the corner of it and rubs it right under his nose.

Saying no. Definitely his favorite word right now. It's still at the point where it's cute.. we'll see how long that lasts though. His other favorite words are mommy and daddy, which also make up for it :)

Some random & cute things he does:

Number one on my list right now is how Silas communicates "yes". He says "ahye" in the most adorable/excited/happy voice. He also has a little bob that he does with it. There's no way to explain it, so I'm going to have to post a video. I don't know how he started saying it, but I do know I love it.

He likes doing anything that a big boy would do.

He always takes our hands and insists that we follow him to whatever he wants. 

He laughs and laughs. All day at anything. He has the best personality. He's also super ticklish. 

He signs the words "please" and "more" all the time and it's so stinkin cute. It may have taken him months and months to learn but it has been wonderful. He also speaks the words too, now. 

Oh Silas, you bring your dad and I so much joy every day. You are the sweetest, smartest, cutest little guy we could have been blessed with. I just wish time would slow down a bit. But I cherish the days and memories more than you'll ever know.
