10 Months New

On February 28th, Luke and Madison turned 10 months new :) I was a little confused about this month since there are only 28 days in February and we usually switch months on the 30th.

This past month was a big month for Luke! He went from not really wanting to crawl, just watching Madison, to all over the place! It is cute now because Luke will start scooting and Madison will chase him. She is still a lot faster than him and is a pro at crawling so she usually catches him, crawls on top of him, and drives him crazy. They are both so curious about everything! This past month we found Madison with her hands in the toilet and trying to eat what is in the fireplace!!!! YUCK! I have learned a lot this month about shutting doors, trapping them in the den, and not taking my eyes off of them for even 2 seconds! You learn fast :) It is funny now because you go to get one away from something and then you turn around and run after the other one. The word "no" is a very common word now!

My favorite thing now is how they are playing with each other more and more! I love to watch Luke smile as Madison comes toward him. We are working on Madison not wanting everything Luke has. She loves to come take away whatever he is playing with. Their smiles, laughs, and little words light up our days! They seem to understand now who Mama and Dada are. Luke looked right at Jonathan the other morning and said "Dada" and then later that same day Madison was upset and started calling "Mama." It was so sweet! This past week they also were promoted from the baby nursery to the Caterpillar room for new crawlers!!! That was a sad day for me!

We are so grateful for our little girl and little boy. We see the responsibility of being a parent as a gift from God and as we pray over them each night we pray for wisdom and guidance through this journey. Please continue to pray for us as we train Luke and Madison to follow Christ. Here are a few pictures from this past month.

They love this lion walker! Madison will push one way and Luke will push the other way. Yes we have 2 walkers but they both want this one. The fun of sharing begins :)

This is how Madison fell asleep one day for her morning nap. SO cute!

Jonathan's grandmother (Nanny) came over one night to help Nancy watch the babies while Jonathan and I went to our small group. She helped feed Luke his bottle and rocked him to sleep.

These are pictures from January but I wanted to share them. Our great friend and photographer Jana took them at a friend's birthday party.

Pinch it, eat it, love it!

Happy 10 months!!
