Turner

Turner started out as our little guy, a couple ounces less than his brother and a minute younger. He soon gained on size and height. He outweighs Garrett by 5 lbs, but they are the same height. I have loved his little feet since the moment I saw them. They are so wide and chunky!! I love them! He has always been the first to do things- roll over, crawl, walk, and talk. For a long time he has been talking in paragraphs, we just couldn't understand it! We still can't understand a lot of it. He is absolutely in love with the Imagination Movers. If you have watched every episode of the movers, then you can understand about 90% of what he says. If you haven't, good luck understanding much! He also loves Lightning McQueen, The Polar Express and Finding Nemo. He has such the little imagination. He loves to wear a bucket on his foot, because in one of the mover shows, Mover Rich gets a bucket stuck on his foot. He also carries around a Black and Decker phillips head screwdriver. He calls it his scribble stick! (also a mover thing) Notice I was very specific on the screwdriver. If we cannot find that particular screwdriver, no others will do. He will cry until we find the black and decker phillips screwdriver. He is branching out a bit now, and carries around a Lightning McQueen car Garrett got for Valentine's day. He enjoys putting Lightning in his Napa truck and driving around. He usually sleeps with either the screwdriver or Lightning. And he clutches whatever it is all through the night! He quotes movies all the time- he will tell Craig- You'll get stuck out there!! Which is from finding Nemo. He also says the mover motto- Reach high, think big, work hard, have fun! Even in church. He is also great at singing and dancing! And playing the guitar! He loves to eat potatoes- especially tater tots and french fries. He's not too big on fruits and vegetables, but most toddlers aren't. Turner very rarely has to go to timeout. He minds his mom and dad pretty well. When daddy is home, he is a total daddy's boy. He likes to rock, which I love. If he has a booboo, it must be kissed, no matter how minor. He gives great hugs, and pats you on the back while hugging. He is just so cuddly. He hates to make a mess, so he is a very neat eater. He doesn't like to go outside and get dirty, he likes to be clean. He will clean up himself after he eats, cause he doesn't want to have anything on him! Turner has been such a joy, as his brother has been. The other day he was twirling in the kitchen and then I heard him say, "Ashes, ashes," and then he fell down on the floor. He can count to 14 and can say his abc's. I love to hear him sing "Itty Pider." He is adventurous and loves to climb. He climbs on everything! He can usually get down, too. He spent most of the morning today rehearsing for his rock concert. My mom said he would close the door and when she would go to check on him he was playing his guitar, dancing, and singing! He is our little thinker as well. He doesn't like to interact at concerts or with TV shows. He likes to sit back and take it all in. He is very observant and doesn't want to be bothered when he is really concentrating. Turner is just such a sweet little boy and I am so glad we were blessed with 2!
