Dino Blanky

A few days ago Tiberias learned to fold his arms.
For a while Sterling had been coaxing Ty to fold his arms every night at family prayer. About three days ago he started doing it...only for one or two seconds at a time. If he sees us folding our arms he will often do it too. Or if I tell him to "fold your arms" he might do it. We've been so excited about it that we cheer and clap. So now whenever he folds his arms he unfolds them to clap for himself. lol

Last night Lachoneus was saying the family prayer. He usually says what we taught him "Dear Heavenly Father, we're thankful for this day. Please bless us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." We often stop him during the prayer to tell him to add other things like "Help us sleep well" or "We're thankful for..." Last night he said the prayer and on his own thanked Heavenly Father that we were able to go to church. I was so excited!
Maybe it's because Sterling went to church with us for the first time in a few weeks and then it had been over a month before that too.

Our boys are growing so much! Tiberias is getting so big! He does turn one in about two weeks! It's just hard to believe. And it's amazing how different and bigger he is than he was at Easter...less than four months ago.

Yesterday Sterling and I started making Tiberias' special Blanky. He really needs one. He will cuddle with Luke's blanky whenever he can.
When he is sleepy he cuddles with anything that is near him.
So I bought him material and Sterling and I pinned it all together.

Then today I sewed the blanky together. It turned out really cute.
For tacks to hold the middle together I did some squigly things in a large circle and then sewed a little "T" for Tiberias in the center.
I was so excited to give him his new blanky! He took to it right away but not as much as he will once it's been washed for the first time and once he gets use to it being his.
