We have this book Bent Objects, (which I highly reccommend) that Dahlia and Valen love to look at together. Here Dahlia is explaining the pictures to him. She really has no idea why they are funny, but trys really hard to. The next time you come over to our house, you should check it out.

Valen is really into puzzles lately. He has an eye for matching things. We got this one in the mail today and he had no problem figuring it out.So proud of him!

I asked Valen what he wanted for dinner the other night and he responded with "salad". He is the funniest guy. What kind of a two year old likes spinach!!? Whenever Justin and I have salad and don't put any on his plate, he usually ends up eating half of it... can't complain! (:

Valen loves playing baseball.. even though he rarely hits the ball, he still has the best time. and every time he swings he twirls around and plops down on the ground, so cute! (:

chairs are so much more fun upside down of course.

late halloween costume... a bit small but so stinking cute! he loves running around in it, especially the gloves!

Valen loves to suck his two fingers and carry around his favorite blankie. which is actually a blanket that auntie megan made for dahlia when she was tiny. he stole it. but dahlia doesn't care because she doesn't remember. I would say he has his blankie with him at least 50% of the day, if not more.
He is very snuggly and likes to be held a lot. especially if someone is in the kitchen. that kitchen is just so exciting, he doesn't want to miss any action. i suggest him to bring over his chair to watch me make dinner, but that just isn' t good enough for him, he has to be in my arms! so naturally dinner doesn't get done for a while those nights. his nap ends by 5pm so if he happens to be content in his crib after he is woken up then i will proceed to make dinner while he is. that works out quite often actually. I convince dahlia to go upstairs and talk to him for a while and keep him company.

eating, reading books and doing puzzles are his favorites right now. and of course watching daddy play the wii. (: he likes to choose what games he will play. just about after every meal he will say " let's play a game, let's play a game!" and every time we always respond with "not right after we eat valen, how bout in a little bit?" and the he loses it! arching back, fists on the floor, whining..... i guess he has a really bad memory.

speaking of throwing fits. we are getting through the 2's fairly calmly. I would say he throws more fits than dahlia did, but not as many as some! if we can be strong and not give in, he stops. and if he doesn't we simply put him in time out in his crib until he can calm down and that works very fast. I have only spanked him probably two times ever and it doesnt seem as needed like with dahlia. time outs work just fine for him and i am so glad!

well that is enough for now. basically he is the most adorable precious little boy I ever could have dreamed up, he is so special and life is just hillarious with him in it!!

God knew the kind of boy that i needed that is for sure. he throws a few tantrums here and there, but overall i cant get enough of him. he is my special boy. just when we think he cant get any cuter, he goes and does something even cuter.... its overwhelming (: if he starts screaming about something, i will say " valen i am not letting you watch that if you are going to throw a fit" instantly he calms down and rephrases it in a very nice voice, very sweet and quiet. he makes it very hard to say no, but i stand my ground... mostly (: his little mouth when he talks is so cute i can hardly look at it when i am trying not to give in. and hes got a little lisp. i cant even tell you enough stories for you to understand, you just have to see him to believe it! but the other day we were playing in the playroom and he all of a sudden drops what he is doing and starts running up the stairs saying " i need tell daddy a question, i need tell daddy a question". he bursts into justins office and says"i need tell you a question daddy"...he leans over and valen whispers to him in his ear "i love you to pieces" It was so adorable!
