Yeah... I'm not really that great at this!
I've tried keeping journals, but this is pretty much how they turn out. I write, then I forget...
Anyhow... Not a whole lot going on. Seems like time is just racing by. Baby girl was 9 months on Sunday. NINE months!!! Amazing. Seems like she was just born. She's so incredible! She's crawling and chattering up a storm! We've hit the separation anxiety stage. As awesome as it is to have her complete devotion... the tears are a bit painful. And poor daddy... already he's had his heart broken by his princess. It's fascinating to watch the difference between his relationship with the boy and the girl! Please don't get me wrong... he loves both of them equally, but boy, oh, boy.... all baby girl has to do is smile at him, and he's lost all sense of place or time. I've gotta say... both my babies have smiles that can light up a room! I mean they don't just smile with their mouths... their entire faces light up! It's incredible! Baby girl definitely holds daddy's heart!
The boy on the other hand, can be in full-on trouble. You know, the kind where mama and daddy's faces are completely red and daddy's even considering have a vasectomy! Anyhow... all he has to do is talk. For a two and 1/2 year old... he's got the most amazing sense of humor. We were in the car this weekend, and my husband and brother were talking about going to eat at a fast food Chinese restaurant in the mall. The conversation went a little like this... "We should eat at the Chines place in the mall." "Dude, if I remember... you weren't doing so great after we ate there." (the fact is, that they almost had to pull over, so he could, um... well, feel better.) and this little voice from the back of the pathfinder says "Uncle Aaron. You're not smart." It was so funny!!!!
Last night I came home from work, and after receiving my usual welcome home (I love it, by the way! There's nothing like seeing excitement on your babies faces when you walk in the door!) The boy promptly points his finger in my face and says. "Mama, you suck." It took such restraint to not spank him right then and there! But luckily, I was able to put together that this may be one of those moments where he was not aware of how "naughty" this was. So, I got down to his level, and said, "Baby, that makes mama's feelings hurt. Did you learn that from Uncle Aaron?" (we're still training my brothers to be careful about what they say in front of our little mimic) The sweet, now getting teary baby, nods yes. So, I say, "Honey, Uncle Aaron's being naughty when he says that. He's in trouble and he needs a spanking." The boy repeats every word. "he's in twubble. he's nottie. needs a spankin!" So, then just to make sure my point was being driven home, I ask "So, when Uncle Aaron says 'you suck' what are you going to say?" His little face lights up, and then with all the force a two year old can muster, the point of his little finger and a scowl on his face, he says, as he turns to address his invisible Uncle Aaron, "YOU SUCK TOO!!" I about lost it! It was so funny!
Our house is so loud right now... and I love it! The babies get each other laughing so hard, that sometimes baby girl gets the hiccups. Things have changed so much in the past two and 1/2 years. And I would never wish it to be anything but what it is! Everyone lied... THIS is the best time of my life!
