Video Update  

Saturday, January 30, 2010

It seems like each day, my boys are completely different than the day before. I guess I am coming to the realization that childhood is fleeting and my boys are just growing up too fast (although some days I am guilty of thinking it's not fast enough!). Bennett is soaking in the world around him like a sponge. He is constantly asking the names of the things around him, and every day he surprises me with new words he has asked about for weeks. I wanted to make sure I got this stage on video, at least while I still love to hear his voice instead of wishing he would stop.

So here is a video of some of Bennett's favorite words. Although after watching it back I realized I neglected to include Bennett's two very favorite phrases: "What's that?", and "My ball."




Jackson of course could not be outdone with his competitive personality. He insisted on singing a song as well. So here is his rendition of "Book of Mormon Stories" (minus one verse that slipped his mind) and what I can only imagine is "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus" (although his version has left a few things out...just a few) . Please forgive the tacky reflection of me filming in the fireplace. It just adds to the charm don't you think?

    Gordon and I loved all the videos. I can't believe all the words that Bennett is saying now. Loved Jackson's songs. Loved the skipping lines in BOM stories. Loved the really high voice like Angela said and I loved that he couldn't sit still while singing but kept moving back and forth on the fireplace. What CUTE boys! Thanks for posting a video. We miss them!
