Summer Updates




I took both kids to the doctor this week, Madeleine for her 3 year checkup and Harrison for his 6 month (yes, I know I'm a a month late). Madeleine was 32 lbs, 3ft & 2 in (50% and 90%, respectively). Harrison was 20lbs 6oz & 27 1/2 in (90% and 90%). They both are tall. Where does that come from -- definitely not from dad & mom! Hahaha! The doctor just kept telling me that Harrison was BIG. She said it at least three times -- "he's just really big, you know that." And he eats like a horse. :) She also said that he should be getting some teeth in the next couple of weeks. His top gums have thinned out and the teeth are just below the gums. He's been chewing on everything and waking up at night crying, so she's probably right. Harrison also has starting hugging and giving kisses. He'll grab our faces and put a hand on each cheek and put his mouth (open) on ours for several seconds then move away. It's soooo cute, especially when he does it to Madeleine. He also, just this morning, started pulling up on things. He can't get all the way up yet, but he'll raise himself a couple of inches. He's definitely into everything. And, of course, Madeleine The Informer tells what he's done.
I think the "Troublesome Threes" are here. She won't go to bed, gets up in the middle of the night, tells up "no," and just defies us. The only person she is always good around is Harrison. Where has my sweet little girl gone? :( I'm hoping it's just a phase and she'll grow out of it soon! She's also decided that there are puppy dogs in the potty and won't go without someone holding her. Again, I realize this is just a phase, one I hope passes quickly!
We've been trying to do some fun stuff with her and emphasize the positives of good behavior. She "helped" Matt clean out his car this week and had a blast pretending to drive and playing with the button in the car!
