ABC's

My beautiful 2 year old daughter can say her ABC's to F. :-)

I was sooo tickled the other night when I was getting her ready
for bed and I started saying the ABC's to her and encouraging her
to say them with me, when she really just continued on her own.

Of course we called Grandma so she could hear, it was the sweetest
sound, her just saying "AH" "BAY" "CEE" "DEE" "E" "FTHU" :-)
She can't say F without sticking her tongue out and sorta spitting.
So, FTHU was the closest I could come.

We had been working on ABC's for a few weeks and she can say most
all of them when repeating after me, but she continually tries to
say them on her own.

These are the moments I look forward to every night. When a culmination
of the day's events end in such sweet memories.

My kids are very busy and don't give me a whole lot of time to rest, they
fuss and the end of the day rituals keep me looking forward instead of
throwing in the towel!

My baby is walking!

Wow, it has been very busy around here! I have been
working really
hard these days. Time seems just to fly by and before you
know it, it has been a month since I blogged! I have missed
it~

Most recently my just turned 9 month old started walking!

The day before his 9 month birthday he took his first steps.

He has been zooming up the stairs for a while now, so he has
been getting around pretty good, but now that he is upright and
active with my 2 year old, I am packing it in!

Both of my babies fell down our stairs this past weekend.
My heart stopped when my 9 month old fell down our wooden stairs
but he only had a few scratches on his arm and nothing to show
for it on his head or face Then my 2 year old daughter
decided to put on her high heeled play shoes and attempt coming
down our carpeted stairs, she got a shiner, but nothing more...
You tell them no, and they just don't listen!

My daughter has become very good with the word "no". She tells
my little boy no all the time, when she sees him do something
she knows he isn't supposed to. It really is cute and I have
a hard time keeping my face straight. My little boy doesn't really
acknowledge either one of us when we tell him "no", I wonder why....

No potty training yet either, I believe starting next week,
I will get tough. I just really don't think she is ready, but
I am, so we will so.... Keep you posted on that.

Well, I guess I better get the kids up from their naps.
