Cole has a fascination for flowers. Last year about this time we planted rose bushes in front of our house. Cole loves to smell the roses, and consequently he's become well-acquainted with thorns. On Monday when we were in St. George we drove past a church building, Cole pointed at the steeple and said, "LOOK, Momma! That church has a THORN!" I love those little insights into the way their minds work. Another flower-related experience...a few days ago we had some friends over for dinner and they brought us potted tulips. Yesterday Cole and I were examining the tulips and Cole kept saying what sounded to me like, "This is called a floor-whip." Finally I figured out that he was saying, "This is called a four-lip." Two-lip, four-lip, hey, whatever works!
Awhile ago my sister Tamarie made a post on her blog about the things babies do that you forget about after they get older. (One of my favorite posts of hers, by the way!) That made me want to write about one of my favorite things Weston does right now. He still likes to be swaddled when he sleeps, but he's getting so big that the swaddling blanket can't go around his feet anymore, so basically his arms are just wrapped to his sides. Anyway, whenever he wakes up from a nap or first thing in the morning, my favorite moment is when I walk into the room and he catches sight of me. Since he can only move his legs, they just start thumping madly on his mattress and he gives me a big, gummy baby grin. I love it!
Speaking of Weston, he just had a milestone moment while I was typing--his first independent roll from his back to his tummy! Way to go, kiddo!

Jett had his first unassisted roll over yesterday while i was taking pictures of him so I got it on a picture half way through the roll. Funny how alike they are from their rolling over to the bald spots on the back of their heads. Jett still sleeps in a tight swaddle too. I like it when I unwrap him and he gives big stretches like a little bird hatching from an egg or somehting. anyway I love your blog!!
How fun--your kids are adorable. They'll love reading back on this and learning what they did at this age!
Oh, Karene, these are priceless. You will be so happy to have these later and remember all of the fun moments. I am so glad you liked that post of mine. There are just too many things that we forget and sometimes I would just love to hold onto them forever. Parenting is great!
