[Moriah] Number Two Randomly Falls Asleep

So I was sitting in the middle of the living room today while Mini Me was playing and I was talking with Grammie. Number Two came over to give me a hug, which he's been doing a lot of lately and is extremely cute, when, mid-hug, he falls asleep against my shoulder!!! I was totally dumbfounded and shocked. Grammie and I found it quite hilarious and adorable. Here Mini Me is making lots of noise and playing, and Grammie and I are having a conversation, and he's sleeping right through it all! He took about a 40-minute cat nap right there in my arms in the middle of the living room. He hasn't fallen asleep in my arms since he was an infant! I guess all the fresh spring air REALLY wiped him out yesterday! Oh my gosh, was it adorable and precious.

[Moriah] Quotes By Mini Me

While looking at Number Two's chocolate "beard" at lunch: "You look kind of like a man! That's funny! Ha ha ha ha haaa!"

[Moriah] Ha Ha Ha!

Tonight's random dialogue brought to you by Mini Me. Dada was holding Mini Me, giving him a hug and letting him pull the chain on the ceiling fan to turn out his light for bed when, with Dada's head turned up toward the fan, Mini Me got a glimpse inside Dada's nose, and asked the following:

"Dada, you have raisins in your nose?"

Ah ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!! I nearly fell over. What a hilarious, yet completely curious and serious observation on his part. Ah yes, the great things that come out of childrens' mouths. I love it.

[Moriah] Happy 3rd Birthday, Mini Me!

Happy birthday!

[Moriah] Number Two's Blankie

Tonight we gave Number Two a blanket to sleep with for the first time. He's 19 months old and a big, strong toddler now so we thought, especially with the weather getting colder, that he's ready for his first blankie. When I laid him down on his back in bed like usual, I started to pull up the blanket over him while announcing to him excitedly that he gets to have a blankie tonight. He stopped squirming around and stared up at me with a huge smile on his face. Then, he turned over onto his stomach, curled up into a ball and started sucking on his fingers as I tucked the blanket around his shoulders. He looked so adorable just laying there curled up into a little ball, all cozy-looking under the blanket. And the cutest thing was he didn't move at all after I covered him up. He simply lay there as if thinking, ahhhh, so cozy warm. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but I didn't want to disturb him. It was so adorable, though. So, congratulations, Number Two, on reaching yet another milestone. :)
