Unlike a few others, we don't really care if Will plays with girl toys, little pet shops, or wears pink shirts occasionally (Matt has a few oh his own, pink shirts that is). Anyways, so the other day Will found these socks that were for Abby. He loved them and kept telling his dad that they were boy socks. So, these are my matching little babies. And just another FYI, Will does wear pants occasionally. It is just a little quicker to go pantless sometimes with potty training. As you can see, our little Abby is growing so fast...she is such a joy to be around.
O.K., so I don't really have much to say on these blogs. First, I am a little shy and second, my days just consist of changing diapers, nursing, and negotiating with a 2 year old. Even I need a break sometimes though...maybe to take a shower, talk on the phone or fix a meal. Not to mention, we are lucky to have Matt home at 8 p.m. on a good night. Therefore, WE have become fans of various kid's shows. Will's latest favorite is "Max and Ruby." I was trying to find a clip for you and I didn't realize that Youtube would have a few tapings of the show, however, they were either someone with a horrible moving camera pointed at the t.v. or it was dubbed over with dirty words. I chose to keep looking and found a clip that is pretty long, so unless you have kids, I doubt you will be watching it. I think you can get the idea in the first three seconds though. Anyways, Will has started talking like Max. I guess you could say he is regressing in the language department. Not really, but it is a little weird. He walks around with one word phrases and repeats them in a "max like" voice. I tried to get a video tape of him after he went potty, reaching for his "reward" candy. It didn't turn out that great, but you can get the idea. Also, that is not Will's room, it's Abby's and probably the only clean room in the house, because she can't mess it up yet. Oh, and sorry, you may have to pause the (somewhat annoying) music that is on the side to hear any video.
Abby is now a little over 4 months old. She had her check up this week and is a "healthy" little girl. She weighed 15.7 lbs (91%) and 24.5'' (I think around 52nd%). They didn't write the stats down for me. She continues to be a little joy to be around. She is starting to laugh when tickled or when watching her brother. She is also able to now play in her exersaucer and can roll over (at times) if she is in the mood. She is still a great sleeper and sleeping until about 7 or 8 in the morning. We are going to start her on solids this week, which will hopefully help alleviate a little of my pressure having to nurse baby Abby.
For the fourth of July, the kids and I went to see my parents and sister in Alabama. I forgot to actually take any "4th" pictures, but we did have a pretty good time. My mom's house is filled with garage sale toys and Will had a great time rum aging through the house and exclaiming, "I take this home too, Mommy." By the end of the trip, he was calling his grandparents, "Nana Mommy" and "Paw Paw Daddy". He loved having all of the extra attention and my dad took him to do lots of fun things (which I will post once I get the pictures).
Will and all of his "friends". He could play with his little stuffed animals for hours. Will is actually a pretty happy kid, but has a LOT of energy. I think I am going to have to start sitting in with him during nursery at church. There is a little girl in there that he loves playing with and can't seem to sit still when they are together. They hold hands, run around in circles and just giggle...very loudly. I think the teacher is getting a little stressed, so we are going to have to try to start being reverent (during certain activities)at home and hope that transitions into church.
Will and Abby are both growing up so fast. Will loves playing with cars, swimming at the
pool, and unfortunately watching anything on
T.V. I think he is really enjoying having a little sister. We started potty training this week and I guess it is going o.k. I don't really see how people can go anywhere and get anything done while doing this. Other than that, he is doing o.k. Only one major accident thus far. He is doing well on the reward system and never forgets a promised treat.
