It's probably been long enough I should update this old thing. But where to start!
Abby will be 2 end of September....shocking I know! She is loving being a big sister and is talking more and more everyday. It's crazy that we can actually have conversations with her now!!! She's in the middle of potty training right now and is very motivated for "poop treats". She doesn't really care that she's going in the potty, she will just do anything for a blasted Smartie!
Today she was carrying around a container of cake sprinkles she found in the pantry, and came over and asked me to open them. I told her no, it didn't need to be opened and that she could just shake it. She totally gave me this sly look and said nodding"Daddy huhlp".
She's also into spitting. And it seems she'll spit and we'll tell her "We don't spit. It's gross." And she'll spit again, and EVERYTIME Ben busts a gut laughing at her. And he can be so sober that it's so funny to see him die laughing.
Bennett is 4 months old. He is... starting to become enjoyable! Ha ha, I don't mean it meanly, he was just such a difficult baby, and still is very VERY needy. Abby was such a patient baby, and he knows what he wants and doesn't want to wait for it. Ty and I both found him very frustrating because he screamed the first few weeks of life... if he was awake, he was screaming. Now though (if he's happy) he's full of smiles and laughs. He thinks Abbs is hilarious, and their favorite game is for him to be in the swing, and she swings it as hard as she can (so the legs skip a little) and they both die laughing. Probably not the safest, but it's fairly hilarious to watch.
He's still not rolling, he gets up onto his side, but that's as far as he has interest in going. And he hates HATES (did I mention hates) being on his stomach. Which does nothing for his funny shaped little head. Poor guy goes Aug 5 to see what they think about it.
We moved a month ago, and are STILLLLL in the process of painting. Sigh. The kids rooms are both done, and we only have a couple more things to hang in their rooms and I'm going to post photos! They look SO much better than they did before!!! Well.. actually it's pretty much won the award for ugliest original paint job... just wait until you see the stairwell!!
