Ben has really started calling us "Momma" and "Daddy" as our names when he wants us. He has said the words for a while but didn't use them to call for us. I love when I walk into a room and he says "Maaahma!" with his cute little southern accent
He also loves to give me a hug when he sees the pictures in his book of a kid giving a hug.
I love the way she gives us kisses. She closes her eyes and puckers her lips, but it's really fast but so cute. She also says "amen" after her bedtime prayers. So sweet.

The unsolicited kisses get me every time. The other morning I had her snoozing in bed with me and she felt for my face and came in for a big smooch before opening her eyes.
I love how she hugs and kisses her baby dolls too, and pats their backs and shushes them to sleep. She's a very lovey little thing.

Saying I love you... well "I luh u, mommy!".. Yeah, I've been slipping her 20 dollar bills to keep that up. :-)
Also, when we pick her up from daycare, she'll say "Bye, friends!" I love it. It's kind of a lazy change though, since she used to say bye to each of them by name. hehe..
It's a tie between "Ahh-MEN" after we say prayers or the big hugs he gives now - throwing his hands around your neck and squeezing really hard. So sweet!
Frankie has recently started "letting" me rock her to sleep. She's figured out it's kinda comfy laying belly to belly (I guess now that mine's getting bigger) and getting rocked to sleep while listening to mommy's heartbeat and Violet play her bedtime songs. The other day before nap, she looked at Violet as I pushed the button on her foot for the songs to start, then Frankie clapped her hands and smiled when the music started. She then laid her head down and snuggled in to be rocked to sleep. Best thing ever.

When he's done drinking his last bottle for the night and we're sitting in the glider, he'll turn himself so he's facing me and crawl up my lap so his face is directly in front of mine, then he'll grab the sides of my face and pull me toward him for a goodnight kiss.

I love the way she puckers up for kisses too. It's so sweet. Also love the way she gives both me and DH her luvie to kiss goodnight.
The way she runs to A when she sees him - she'll run over to him and give hima big monster hug- it's so sweet - melts my heart.

Natalie says "I love you mommy too" at random times. Also, when she tells us to "sleep tight" or sings to Claire to make her feel better.
Her full face smiles melt my heart each time -- and she gives them out a lot!
