18 MONTHS
I can not believe that I have already been a Mommy for a year and a half now. It seems so long ago, but I keep so busy that I can't beleive it has been that long already.
Well we weren't having much fun at home without Daddy and the Hotel got old really fast so we took some time to go down to Katy and visit the family. Grandma (my mom) had a knee replacement surgery so I went down to help her with recovery. The kids had lots of fun helping grandma...we held onto her wlaker when she was tryign to use it and even when she was not we would play with it. We got to play with our cousins toys while she was out of town. We really liked playing mommy & daddy pushing babies around in the little stroller, shopping cart and tricycle. And we loved it when our aunts would take us out on bike rides.
The next week and a half we spent in Lufkin the whole time. We were in a nice big suite that had a seperate bedroom and that really helped. We had a huge living area that we would literally have luggage races in. We have spent a few evenings at the pool since Mommy will not brave taking us both to the pool without Daddy.
Since we are in tight quarters we have been observing Mommy in the bathroom and I think we have the routine down. You use the bathroom, wipe, pull your pants up, flush, wash your hands and then dry them off. We help Mommy by trying to get the tiolet paper for her and flushing for her.
Logan started using his peripheral vision. He is so cute. You can see him look all the way to one side of his eyes and he will move his head the opposite direction. Too cute. Not too cute the kids learned how to climb out of their pack n plays the last 2 days we were out of town.
We spent Memoral day weekend back home...OH IT WAS GREAT TO BE HOME. We love our home and I am a homebody so I was glad we got to stay there for 4 days. Well Daddy went to the Byron Nelson Friday morning and I stayed home with the kids. They used their newly found skills all over the house. Mommy was going crazy trying to keep them out of the laundry room and her room and out of the drawers in the kitchen that we just could not seem to leave alone. Then at nap time Alyssa decided that she was going to climb out of the crim so she did...multiple times until she was so exhausted that she did not have the strength to climb out again. We got to play at the Dawson's pool on Monday and then it was back to Lufkin.
The kids and I left Tuesday morning for Katy lots to do to get ready for all of the big events happening the next weekend. On Saturday June 4th Uncle Billy & Aunt Kris were sealed in the Houston Temple along with cousins Elizabeth and Brody. Bailey will get to have his own special day hopefully soon. And on Sunday Aunt Cyndi graduated high school.
We had lots of fun playing with our cousins...and baby Brody can even crawl now so we loved that...we would get down on the floor with him and paly. We had a very busy day Thursday shopping and Friday cooking, but we found time to go play at the pool. Saturday we took pictures at the temple and then ate yummy food went to another pool and then later we celebrated the graduation with catered fajitas yummy :)
Sunday was a bit crazy. We went to church early and then we went to graduation. The kids made it up until they started handing out the diplomas and then we were in the hall. We made it in the hall up until about the P's and Aunt Cyndi is an R so we did not actually get to see her cross the stage. We did however on the way in have to park remotely and take a bus...which we were not trilled about because Logan had to wake up and get in the car seat...but Alyssa loved being on the bus and we took pictures and when we got there and needed to get off the bus she did not watn to let me take her straps off...she wanted to stay on the bus.
We got to spend lots of time with the family, but we missed Daddy as well so the next weekend we met Daddy up in Dallas and are now back in Lufkin with him this week.
While in Dallas we bought some door handle safety locks so the kids can not open doors that we want closed...we are using 6 of them right now. We still need to put some more drawer safety stops in the kitchen...I am tired of picking siolverware up all over the house.
Other pregressions include saying Chris and shoes and other words too, but those I distinctively remember Alyssa saying. We are officially nursery age and went the first time last Sunday...Mom & Dad are so excited...I think Mom is the most excited though. I did peek in on them whiel I was checking role on Sunday and Alyssa was crying on Sis. Romneys lap but later I checked and she was still on her lap but not crying, but they said they did great so I don't know if they were telling me the whole truth.
While getting dressed now I can get them to put their arms through the arm holes on their own...that is exciting. Alyssa is also pulling her diaper off if I do not have her diaper covered with a onesie or some shorts...that is not exciting. And for some reason Alyssa will not keep her hair up at all anymore...and her bangs are getting really long. I do not want to cut it, but I do want to see her face so we will see what we try next.
Oh and Logan still bites once in a while...I think he bites when he is hungry.
Pictures will be loaded before they are 19 months :)
