As usual, I think of several things to blog about throughout the day and then forget most of them once I have a few minutes to actually blog. It's been a trying week for me and the kiddos. Mostly due to having a cold again, Maemae has a small snotty nose, and Peanut is working on 2 year molars. The second one finally cut through a few nights ago, but they are huge so take him many days to get all the way up and out of his gums. So we're all sleeping crappily and it makes for a pretty bitchy, exhausted Mama who doesn't have any patience and a Peanut who watches 2 or 3 movies a day so we can rest.
Peanut is very active, always wanting to play and seldom sitting quietly so I can build up my energy. I've heard this is the beginning of the terrible twos, but my child is not terrible (so don't say that, it makes me snarly). He's a healthy, beautiful 2 year old who is exploring his world and has unlimited energy. He behaves (mostly) and listens well (again, mostly) and that's not terrible. It's terrific! I am reminded again and again to view the world through his eyes and to slow down and enjoy what God has given us. I no longer worry about what a mess my house is and how desperately it needs to be dusted and vacuumed. I think it's a good day when I get the laundry washed and dried. Folding that mountain of clean clothes is always last on my to-do list and usually it's pawed through until they are gone.
Peanut springs new words on us every day or so. Latest is doctor, airplane, donkey, and tonights was "now drink" at dinner. Just when I start to worry about his speech and start thinking about speech therapists, he whips out a few new words and makes us clap like maniacs while we try to entice him with praise and whooping it up to say it over and over. He then just looks at us, calmly drinking his sippy while thinking Mama and Daddy are crazy and if they weren't listening the first time, I'm not saying it again.
Maemae is growing perfectly and is getting more beautiful every day. She had her 4 month appointment today and it went very well. First thing her doctor said was that I have great breastmilk (Yes, I know, look how well Peanut did on it) because shes a whopping 13 lbs. 1 oz and 25 inches tall. Her 6 month one-piece outfits fit her with little room left over in the height so I think it's going to be tops and pants until it's warm and then dresses for her. I picked up a few patterns last week for adorable little girl spring and summer outfits that I can't wait to start sewing up for her. I'm so excited and can't wait to get a few done so I can play dress up.
Maemae has a very distinct belly laugh that is pretty easy to get out of her. She still gets the super surprised look on her face once she gets going and then she busts out with it again. And she's a rolly over girl. She can go from her back to her tummy and then kinda shuffles herself around in a circle so she can watch someone. Sometimes to amuse myself once Mike goes to work I move out of her vision just to watch her shuffle...at least until she cries in frustration and Mama has to swoop her up for snuggles.
That's about all. It's only 10pm and I'm going to sew for a little bit on another project then go to bed. Lately 4:30 - 6am has been party time at our house so it makes for a tired Mama. And tomorrow we're off to Sonic for dinner. Woo hoo! Strawberry lime-aid how I have missed you. Sonic is on our short list of what we miss about Arizona and there is 1 in Hillsboro. Mike timed a job out there around dinner time and the fam is going with him for a treat.
Here's a picture from last month of our precious kiddos. I have tons more pictures waiting to be uploaded to photobucket, but you'll have to make do with just one in this post.
