Fall, Fair & Four Months!

Soooo fall is here. Thank goodness! Loving the cooler weather. On the baby front everything is going well. Luke is 13.9 and Allie is 12.8. I started them on cereal. Luke is still up once a night to eat so I wake Allie up too. Luke is waking up anywhere between 3:30 and 4:30 every night, then again at 7am on the dot. Hoping the cereal will help him last longer. I know they are only 4 months, but I am ready for a solid nights sleep that's for sure!!! Luke is pretty much the same. He is the crier, needs to be held, basically a mama's boy or lap baby as Chris would call him. But, I am happy to accommodate. He has trouble calming himself and I usually give in and rock him. But, I ended that last night. He is in sleep boot camp this week. Allie is still a little slice of heaven. She is so happy, puts herself to sleep and just plays on the floor with her toys. They are both cooing up a storm and smiling and laughing which is really fun.

Cale is doing well. He is back on his nap schedule and only going to pre-school half days. He still does OT once a week and speech once a week. He has started saying 3 and 4 words together. He repeats everything. He's like a parrot. He also loves to show us things he is doing. He finally learned to jump off a step. It's a tiny step, only about 3 inches high, but he finally did it with two feet at the same time! He loves to climb everything and jump on the trampoline. Cale is pretty much just a happy kid. He still has his anxiety with some things and his sensory issues with his mouth are full force. He constantly has his hands in his mouth. We have to give him a little brush to chew on or rub his mouth with so he can get that fulfillment. He still stuffs his mouth when he eats, but is using his spoon or fork a lot more. I think school is helping with that. Cale knows most of his shapes and colors. He can count to 10 with a little assistance and knows ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle and Jesus Loves Me. He tries to sing them, but mostly will fill in the blanks when we sing with him. Oh, and the cutest new thing he started doing is praying. He wants to pray all the time. He tells us "pray" and we all have to put our hands together and close our eyes and he says, "Thank you Jesus...Amen". It is really cute! I think he is pretty much ready to potty train, but I just can't pull the trigger on that yet. I don't have the energy. Maybe Christmas Break???

Allie and Luke got dedicated at church:

Wen to the Fair. Cale loved the airplane ride and kept saying, "go fast"!

He loves wearing his sunglasses and chowed down on a corn dog.

Cale loves his cousin Morgan or sometimes he calls her Mo-mo

Yes! Finally the year is here that he didn't cry getting near or on a pumpkin! He actually smiled and laughed!
