July 26th

There are many things that I never thought I would do as a parent. The biggest one is that I would bribe my children to do things. I thought that they would be so well behaved I would not have to do any bribing and they would just do things on their own. Boy was I wrong! The day I did something that  I would never do; share my toothbrush with my toddler. Hadley has become obsessed with my Oral B vibrating toothbrush. I have bought her every light up vibrating hello Kitty, Dora and Disney princess toothbrush you could imagine and she only wants mine. So every morning after I brush my teeth I handed it over to her so she can brush.

Little Knox has started to smile all the time. He is so handsome and funny. Every time he sees me he lets out a big coooo and smiles so big it lights up my face and my world.

This month I have learned how to tickle little Knox. If you tickle him right underneath his neck on his chest, especially with his shirt off he just giggles and giggles and giggles. It's like he can't even catch his breath he's giggling so much. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Hadley didn't really start giggling until at least six months I feel like. But this guy he's got the giggles for his mama.

In the last week he has really started to focus on his hands. He puts them out right in front of his face and just looks at them. He puts his hands in a fist and then straighten them out and just stares at his fingers. The last three weeks, when he actually found he had fist, he would shove them both in his mouth at the same time and suck on them.
