H described them perfectly today over breakfast. 

O is more cautious, she will walk up to a stairwell and stare at it then try it, whereas A is more go and do, he will walk up to a stairwell (when he can walk) and just go and probably face plant  more than once. Ouch.

We were having breakfast and the manager kept ducking out if O's sight, she would stand on her tip toes to see him, he came over and said "she thinks I'm being silly". After he left, H says "haha she wasn't laughing at all, she's probably thinking, what the heck is wrong with that guy?" Lol 

A is a smile and laugh at everyone/thing baby.

L is a princess. She thinks everyone should give her exactly what she wants, when she wants it.
She is a free spirit, she loves everything. Flowers, rainbows, butterflies... She is caring, but she is competitive and determined. She is so creative. She plays so hard, that she is often in another world. She can't see what's actually happening because if the pictures in her head.

K is more of a class clown. He tells jokes, he flirts, he is such a fun guy. He plays rough and loves hard.

They both have never met a stranger. I'm the house where the kids are yelling and waving out the window when you walk past. They are friendly and love people. Which has been hard for this shyer mom to get used to.

She's shy and cautious and silly and snuggly.

My two latest words for him are "wild" and "a pistol".  He's a crazy, goofy, nut, with a major sensitive side.  He'll go from wrestling to kissing in a heartbeat, and likes nothing more than daddy's big arms around him.  He loves to make people laugh and "aw" over him.

For those of you that watch Sesame Street - we've called Augie "Super Aug" for at least a year because he's like Super Grover 2.0.  He observes, investigates, and questions, lol.

He loves to sit back and observe what's going on, especially in large settings.  Church, parties, etc, are great for him because he just sits and observes. 

The "what does this button do?" line from the Super Grover intro is also so Augie.  He's constantly trying to take apart things and put them back together and ask us all day long "what's this" or "who's that".

Beyond his Super Aug qualities, he's a flirt and a ham.  His true bliss is being able to run the length of wherever we are while people watch him.  He stops and smiles and loves to get a laugh out of whoever is watching.  Doctor office, Home Depot, church, anywhere and everywhere, he's running for attention.

B is like me in that she is quiet and reserved around new people and situations, but once she gets her bearings, watch out! She will be silly and talk your ear off. When I take her out she will eventually say "hi!!!" to everyone, and if they don't say it back she becomes more persistent, yelling "HI, HI, HIIIIIIII" until they acknowledge her. She loves to make people laugh.

Lately, she's been a wild animal. The only time she is still is when she's sleeping, eating or swinging. She has no fear, which is to her detriment. She's always getting banged up and bruised.

To date I have described Bowen as the 'Cool kid in the class' , here is why:

Don't act like you know me:

He knows so much but is selective when he wants to show it; an example would be he can say "Thank You so much" or "Hi, how are you?". but only says it to his Mami and sometimes our storytime teacher other than me. Or he will go to dance and learn a sequence of moves, but then wait until we are having mommy and Bo dance parties to practice them. So around me he is dancing, talking with perfect diction, and snuggling cheek to cheek! Around others, he is slow to warm up, but is never shows disinterest in others...he just does not put all of who he is out there.

A great judge of character:

There are always two people (he sees somewhat regularly) Bo will.not.ever reach for or go to since maybe he was 1 month old; I think at 19.5 months that is saying something. There are a few people he does not see regularly and will go to and snuggle with no problem!

A friend or foe?

Bo is the first to go up to another tot and wrap his arms around them or take their puzzle? Share his 'nack' or take their 'nack'! He loves watching the big kids play and tries to run after them...at the park a few weeks ago another big kid wanted to play with out dog sooo Bo shared the Chuck It with him and just watched and watched with a semi smile as the big kid played. When something happens out of the ordinary (say a cousin having a meltdown) he has this same semi smile while watching.

Already a teenager: 

He loves to eat and sleep; after waking from his 13-14 hour slumber Bo wakes up wanting 'cinn-non olls' , fried eggs, fresh fruit, and maybe some sausage. The other night he was eating sliced baguette with brie cheese and apricot spread; roasted red pepper and crab pasta; chocolate covered strawberries and of course his milk...he likes a lot of different foods and is always wanting his 'nack'...we all laugh about how serious Bowen is about his food (just like his mama)!

A vocalist:

Since he was a baby he would coo along to songs. The first documented coo' -a-long was on Dec 11th 2011, and I have a video of him cooing to a N'SYNC Christmas song. The next full on Ahhhh-a-long game with Phil Phillips song 'Home' at 9 months... other days it is whatever his ears likes! Yesterday it was 'Rude Boy' by Rihanna!

Fear whaa??

What is fear? Bo likes to jump from one leather (slippery) chair to the big couch

 Bowen now can walk up the slide! Not only walk up his slide but yesterday he drove his mini cooper UP HIS SLIDE! He can do the gas but not steer so he kept doing it! 

Mr Lova-Lova:

Any time of the day I can ask for some loves and Bo will wrap his arms around me, sometimes grab my cheeks, and give me a smooch. The other day I got my hair done and he could not stop looking at me (mom? why is your hair not a mes on top of your head?) and started to play with my hair....it was a sweet moment. He loves his Daddy to do "Getty-up" a new horsey game we all play where my H trots around the room.. Bo cracks up and chases daddy! Before bedtime he has to read Goodnight moon and show us the Kitties he also will bring us books where there are pictures of food (go figure) and basketballs or footballs.

Easy like Sunday morning:

He is the person that wakes up happy---has a few fits and falls during the day--and goes to bed without a peep.

M is compassionate and funny. He has no fear and has just recently stopped running after people we don't know in stores (thank God!) He loves so hard but only on a select few, and he's a good judge of character. He loves animals and the outdoors, and enjoys singing and dancing. He's great at sharing and allows others to pick first. He's opinionated and fusses often, but he's the happiest kid who ALWAYS has a smile on his face.

L loves to learn.  She loves hearing new words. She loves to point to everything and name it.  She loves animals.  She's a snuggler but doesn't stay in one place for long (unless she's being read to).  In a room full of people or a new situation she is shy at first, but once she comes out of her shell she hams it up.  She's pretty happy and gets easily excited.  She jabbers to herself a lot and it always involves giggling.

Q is cautious and likes to get his bearings before he immerses himself into a situation. He's also a bit of a perfectionist and very stubborn. He doesn't love everyone right away (or at least most people) but if he's decided your good people he doesn't hold back. He is very curious and single minded sometimes. He is independent and creative and enjoys just playing by himself, but also loves to show you what he has learned.

He is also a total silly head when the mood strikes him, and very affectionate with people he loves.
