The Amparan Family

Name: Josiah
Age: 2 Years and 1 Month
Like:

Singing along with anything
Asking mommy or daddy to open the refrigerator or pantry to look for food
Playing with his trains
Self imposed quiet time in his crib (seriously)

Dislikes:

Not getting mommy's full attention

What he is learning:

Talking - using new words and repeating words or letters he hears on TV or other say
Being more independent

Mommy Notes: He can be fussy when he does not get what he wants but we are working on that issue. He is so very helpful and obeys very well for the most part. He sleeps great and never is upset about going to bed or nap. He and daddy are getting closer and he does not get upset anymore when mommy leaves the house.

Name: Aaron
Age: 4 1/2 Months
Like:

Being held
Being tickled lightly
Being talked to
Being startled
Watching daddy
Watching brother

Dislikes:

Not being held
Taking naps

What he is learning:

He is now rolling over back and forth a lot
He is kicking his feet when he is on his stomach
He takes one good nap a day
He is getting easier to put down for night night time
He will talk when you pat your hand on his mouth

Mommy Notes: He usually takes one good nap and the other one or two are not very long. He sleeps for 4 hours at night at the most but it is usually more like 3. He is able to stay up in the car for longer trips out to the center and like sitting up. He still likes to be held a bunch and can scream very loudly when he is tired and not being held. He does well with independent play when we are on a good routine but if we get off even one day, he needs a lot more attention.

I love being a mom of two beautiful boys. They make my life so much more full. There are challenges and bad days but they do not compare to the joy seeing them grow up brings to me and Louis.
