Since the last time I posted was pre Lainey, I will start off by giving a little insight about my adorable daughter. Lainey just recently turned one year old and has big beautiful blue eyes, and light brown hair. She is a VERY good eater which is not at all what we are used to since Madden has always and still is a very picky eater. Every morning when I get up I go in and start making breakfast for the kids and me. Without fail, as soon as Lainey hears me rustling around in the cabinets she comes waddling in and starts whining until I give her something to munch on. There is no waiting around with this girl, either give her food ASAP or she will whine continuously until something hits her mouth. It is the cutest little thing when she waddles out of the kitchen munching on her little Gerber cookie. Unfortunately for her she seems to have taken after her mama and has a lot of movement to her hips. While this may cause issues as she gets older it is cute as can be for now. Lainey also is very mischievous and likes to get into EVERYTHING. This only causes me issue when I find her putting anything and everything in her mouth. Now while you may be saying to yourself, oh that's just a normal one year old. I want you to hold that thought when I tell you that Lainey has no trouble putting things like a clump of dog hair in her mouth. Most kids would automatically spit it out right? Not Lainey....she has to have you pull it out of her mouth because to her it is just another form of food. Oy!! God bless her for trying new things I guess. Ha! She is a very loving little girl and wears her heart on her sleeve, so don't let her know that you are angry with her or else you are looking at a 10 minute cryfest at the least. While in the beginning she was very high maintenance she has slowly become much more independent and much more well adjusted. She is slowly working her magic on daddy, and I can already see him getting wrapped around her finger. I look forward to the mother/daughter realtionship with her, and hoping it will resemble what my mother and I have. We shall see.
As for Madden, he is growing into such a big boy. As I look back at pictures of him even from a few months ago he is definitely going through a major growing phase. His face no longer resembles that little baby boy I brought home from the hospital three and a half years ago (HOLY MOLY it's been that long?) and he also seems to be getting taller by the day. While it is exciting to see him grow it is also very sad for Mommy. Madden really was such a happy, easygoing baby and I miss those days. Nevertheless, I LOVE hearing him say "Mommy" and ask me for help with things. Such as "Poopy on the Potty." Yes folks Madden is semi potty trained. He has the pooping on the potty part down, we just don't know how to get him to tell us when he has to go pee pee. I am sure whenever he does though it will go just as smoothly as the first pert of training has gone. It is so cute to hear him say "Bye Bye Poopy," as we flush the toilet. He has the sweetest little voice and is VERY loving. Of course he also has quite a temper and when things don't go his way WATCH OUT. He likes to jump up and down and scream at you which this mommy does not deal with. We spend a lot of time in our bed because that's where we get sent when we don't control our temper. Other than his few meltdowns a day he really is a good boy. He is in preschool now and has made great strides with his speech and with how he plays with others. I am so thankful that I got him enrolled and he is getting the help he needs to catch up with other kids his age. I will have plenty more to tell you as I hope to try and post at least twice a week.
I realized how important it is to write all these little happenings down. It is hard for me to keep up with all the milestones, and other such happenings so if I can just train myself to sit down 2 times a week and post about what has happened I figured my children will have a better idea of what their childhood was like. I also plan on keeping everyone updated on what is happening with Thomas and I as well, but for now I have to go and get some things done around the house! Stick with me guys and enjoy!
Oh, one more thing....a quick video of me trying to get Lainey to perform. As you will see neither of my kids want to listen to their mommy. Ha!
