withdrawls, words & wuwu

I caught the nasty tummy bug a couple of weeks ago, which means NO food, NO coffee, NO Sonic DP's. Well a couple days later, my sweet sister brought me lunch and a Sonic DP. If you know me at all, or if you don't you're about to learn, I have loved Dr. Pepper since the womb I think. You can usually find me with a large Dr Pepper in my hand or in my car or on my desk at all times. They're SO bad for me, but I didn't care. Love 'em. Anyways, back to the Monday after sick. It tasted TERRIBLE! I felt like I was drinking syrup. So I decided I didn't need them anymore. Fast forward ELEVEN days, and I still have not had one. The first week, I missed them. I missed my 3pm Sonic runs, and when we went to Blue Sky for lunch the other day, I reallllly missed them. This week I'm good. I don't miss them. I enjoy my water, and although I'm still drinking coffee in the morning, I feel better and not so FULL of sugar! Ryan and I have a bet that if I go until Friday without one, I get to go buy a shirt. I will win that bet.

Quin has started talking in almost full sentences lately. His favorite phrases are "are you comin?" "I did it!", "I want some", "I don't know"...and tons more. He puts words together that amaze me and make me laugh. He loves to sing along to the ABC's and our own version of "Where is ______". I started singing this song when Braidy was itty and now it's just a song we sing all the time. Several times a day he goes through our entire extended family + Tabor and ask where they are. Daddy? John? Braidy? Taybo? etc....and just today he's started saying "What?" after everything I say even after I have repeated myself 17 times....and he laughs. Stinker! I've switched his closet out to all 2T stuff. He's growing up SO fast. This is officially my favorite age. 18months - 2 is the bomb. I love it. I could eat this little boy up with a spoon. I told him the other day that he will probably always get whatever he wants because of his 3 dimples on his right cheek. Gets me every. single. time.

Braidy had a date with "Wuwu" today...or "Yulu" or as the rest of us call her, "Lulu"! He's been super attached to her lately, so I know he's having a blast being her only boy for a couple hours. He was so excited this morning and kept telling me "BYE" in the car before we were even to school yet. He wanted out of my car and was looking forward to his Lulu picking him up! They went to eat at Bless Your Heart, he ate his favorite, fruit, and now they're playing at her house. He asked me last weekend if after she got off work, if she could "Come and play with me for a yittle bit!" Sweet. I love quality time my boys get to spend with their grandparents. Super blessed little boys!
