Things are getting a little hectic around here. Daddy started a temporary assignment in Lufkin, TX so we are trying the single Mom during the week thing. Luckily the first 2 weeks almost grandma came and stayed with us. I don't know who is more happy to see Daddy when he comes home Thursday night the kids or Mommy. After the first 2 weeks with him gone we decdied to join him and that is craziness as well. 2 little ones trapped in a hotel room all day. Life is a bit challenging. We went to Hobby Lobby everyday the first week we were in Lufkin. The first day I was strolling down every isle looking at everything nice and slow...the kids got tired of being in their stroller and then Logan thrwe up. I was able to find 3 things I wanted to buy before we were definately ready to leave and they will only let you use 1 coupon a day so we put the other 2 items on hold. Went back a second day used a second coupon and put the third item back on hold. Then came back the third day and bought the third item. I had to put them on hold this store seemed to only have one of each item that I wanted.
Anyways, we did make it to a park once or twice, but it is already SOOOO hot outside and we were sweating like crazy. We also made a trip to target and I found a swimsuit I felt was acceptable...on clearance...but since it was clearance I bought 3 pieces that are 3 different sizes, but they work. I must say I wish I was back to my pre pregnancy size, but I sure am not doing anything about it yet.
Anyways, Anyways...here are the hightlights of our progresson for month 17...
We seem to be throwing more fits...luckily they are not full on temper tantrums. We liek to say beep, beep, beep ( we learned this one night when Daddy came home with his suitcase and we were in the way) and we also say ut oh when something bad happens.
While grandma was visitng we learned how to drink from water bottles...most of the time we stop tilting it before we pull it away from our moths...but we still seem to get wet most every time we try. We are very good at opening doors now and we eat almost a whole piece of pizza each...which we have been ordering once a week at the hotel.
When we get upset in the car usually singing itzy bitsy spider seems to calm us down and we have the actions down and try and sing it with mommy now...we are also learning some more animal sounds with Old MacDonald. Did you know he had a spider on his farm with an itzy bitzy here and an itzy bitzy there here an itzy there a bitzy everywhere an itzy bitzy...Mommy gets desperate sometimes.
Alyssa has also started turning her head when she does not want to listen to Mommy. What a joy these two little ones are. We can tell they are about to start talking up a storm...sometimes they echo what you say and it catches you off guard...like did they just say that?
Since her hair is long enough for piggy tails Mommy made Alyssa a bunch of matching bows so she could have 2 in at a time.
