Lathan and Rio are growing up so fast--right before my eyes. I'm scared to blink! I'm so glad I have an iPhone. You'll think I'm silly, but I grab it as soon as I realize I'm appreciating anything they do. Rio kind of got in the habit of running from the camera, but Lathan is still pretty good. So, when he's doing almost anything remotely interesting (which is pretty often), I grab my phone and start recording video. I keep hearing people say to me...this time when they're little is going to fly by so fast! Every time I hear that, it pains me, and I get scared! I don't want to miss it, yet I don't see them through most of the day. SO, when I do, I definitely cherish it. Lathan's funniest thing lately has been saying "no" to everything. "Lathan, do you want a cracker?" Before I show him what it is, he says, "No." and looks at me so seriously! "Lathan, hug your sister, Rio, she loves you." "No."
I noticed today that he started making "boy noises" with inatimate objects. It had to have a motor sound. He held up some plastic piping and was going "sssssccchhhhh" as if it were flying through the air. Where do boys get this? Rio has never made that noise in her life... so I got it on camera. At least I tried to..
Rio is using big words. The other day she said, "Oh, give me those, daddy, I can classify them." (in reference to some toys). She's kind of a geek that way, but it's oh so cute! Tonight she told me she had a plan for what she will be wearing the next few days. She also asked (after getting a "pep" talk), "Mommy, how do you like the way my voice looks? I'm not pitching a fit or screaming..." Gave me a HUGE smile and cocked her head to the side. Not only is she hi-freakin-larious, she also makes me melt!
A couple easy-squeezy, non-edited, in between Sunday pictures..
This one is a "Rio Original". Something from her perspective.
And a favorite from this summer. :)
