Well, I am just posting a blog I wrote back in January! Haha. NOW, my Son is 4, my daughter is 16 months and I am turning 25 tomorrow! Life just keeps passing faster and faster!
Let's see...
Ian is so smart he impresses me most of the time! He can sound out some basic words and count to ehhh 15 haha. He starts jumping numbers after that. But, he does simple addition and subtraction and learned how to count by two's by himself! Not the typical 2,4,6,8 though. He has asked me how to count by two's out of curiosity a few times and I counted just like that. Well, about a month later he comes to me and says, "hey Mom, I can count by two's!" I say, "wow, you can? Let me hear!". To which he starts "1" and I giggle a bit in my head... He continues, "3... 5..." I am thinking what?!? where did he pick this up?? "7... 9... 11..." At this point I shout out "Wow!! That is excellent work! Where did you learn that??" In typical Ian fashion he replies "I just already knew". Haha I love this boy!
Victor and I both agree he should be in a play! His facial expressions and "dance moves" are one of a kind. I love it the most when he sings along to a song on the radio or itunes he's never heard before. This kid is full of life and energy and EMOTIONS! He is definitely one to fly by every emotion he feels and in a toddler's day that is a lot of emotions! But, even though I get pooped from the emotional roller coaster we take, I love the funny moments and sweet moments. For instance, we had a bathroom cleaning day a couple weeks ago and I was having Ian help me scrub around the toilets, sinks, floors etc... and as we are spraying and scrubbing pee that has made it to places that shouldn't be possible, he turns to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and says "You're a good Mommy, I love you." Now, if that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what would!
Kayleigh... oooh my sweet screaming bundle of girliness! Everyone talks about the volume and decibel level little girls can hit... They weren't kidding!! Ian is such a loud kid and always was as a baby too, I though it doesn't get much louder than him. Think again! My girl can hit levels that can shatter glass! Haha. If her brother is blocking her way, getting too close to her toys or sometimes if she is just REALLY happy, PUT IN YOUR EARPLUGS! I now understand what people have said in the past about little girls volume levels :)
The biggest changes with my girl in the last few months are finally some more words, NO ear infections since seeing her chiropractor, and really seeing her personality come to life! She says, "eat", "baba", "Daddy", "Mommy", "baby", "cheese", "stad"(outside), "Hi-ee" (hi), "ny-ny" (night night)... That's all I can think of that she uses regularly.
She loves being outside, going down slides and being pushed in the swings! This girl is much like her brother and has no fear! I think we have 2 definite future roller coaster riders in our house! She is also finally growing more hair! It's still not much, but it doesn't stop me from doing pigtails and putting bows in her hair....
