January 24th, 2013:
Sully FINALLY said "love you" for "I Love You"!!!!! 
This is a biggie!  He says everything under the sun and we've tried for months to get him to say "I Love You" and he was just stubborn....hehe.  Tonight as Zach was bathing the boys...HE SAID IT..."love you." Soooo sweet! :)  

Long time = no updates!  Some things that Sully says and does!  January 5, 2014

1. When Sully wants to watch The Lion King he says "Please turn on "Haly-enga."  He gets this from the beginning of the movie where the song is played…no one can pronounce the real words and Zach sings it like "Heeeeeeeey, Jalapena, whatta nina, hatta beechy wah!  Oh that cracks me up just trying to type it.  Somehow, from Zach singing it that way, Sully things the title of the movie is "Haly-enga."  
2. He also LOVES to watch Peppa Pig; which he calls "Poppa Pig", Team Umi Zoomi; which he calls Toomie Zoomi, The Bubble Guppies; which he calls The Bubble Puppies, and Thomas the Train. 
3. Sully can say the prayer "God our Father" all by himself, and almost says all of Happy Hearts and God is Great by himself.  He can also sing all the words to Happy Birthday.  He's been doing these tasks for a few months now.  
4. Sully at 2 to 2.5 years old calls a belly button a "burnt"…how funny!  He also calls Justin "dun-dern" and sometimes "duh-dern"
5. He calls Corbyn "Corb" and "Corby"…we don't call her that.  He came up with that on his own.  
6. He LOVES dinosaurs and stomps and roars ALL the time!  He also loves trains and tractors…really anything that he can push or pull along the ground!
