My sweet little Alexandria is now a two year old. I feel like time is playing tricks on me because it definitely feels like she has been around for more than a year but it doesn't feel like she should be two. This is also complicated by the fact that she keeps up with her older brother just fine. She talks in full sentences most of the time but often needs an interpreter to really understand it all. She has moved into a big girl bed and does great. The two things you can always count on with Alex, are when she is sleepy she wants to go to bed and when she is hungry she wants her food. Sleeping and eating are just things you don't mess around with! My favorite thing about her right now are all of the facial expressions she makes, coupled with her crazy curly hair. I laugh at her several times a day simply because of her looks; they say a thousand words! My least favorite thing right now is her screaming. When she is mad, she screams, when she gets in trouble she screams, when she is being chased down by her brother she screams and when they are having lots of fun, she still screams. We are working on using our words...
And if I couldn't believe my baby turning two, I think it is even harder to believe my little David is three! It is so fun to watch him play and interact right now. You can just see his little brain working. He loves puzzles and can do 48+ piece ones all by himself. He will work on one puzzle for 30 minutes and has had more potty accidents while concentrating on one than doing anything else. His vocabulary is really expanding. He is starting to use random words that he picks up from anywhere and they are not all good. "Shut up" is one of his favs right now and he gets in trouble every time so he has taken to whispering it most of the time now as if its volume will affect the punishment. He also tells Alex (whom he still calls Negis) how cute she is or how cute her outfit is. But then he asks her if she thinks he is cute too! It is so fun to listen to them when they are getting along. His favorite subject at the moment is Disney World. We are going there in less than two weeks and he can't stop talking about it. He says we are going to get in the car and go see Mickey Mouse and then he names off every single person in our family to see if they are coming too. We do this a couple of times a day, I guess he has to check and see if anyone has changed their plans and decided to come with us! His excitement makes me excited. I cannot wait to experience DW through his eyes! My least favorite thing right now is how much he pesters his sister just to make her scream and talking back to me when I ask him to do something (although this one is getting a lot better). But my favorite thing is how attached he is to me. When he was really little he was not a mommas boy at all. He never cried for me or cared when I left or wasn't around. But now he wants Mommy to do everything and loves to just sit in my lap and cuddle. I am savoring it because I know it won't last but I hope it lasts for a while! I will end with pics of their new bedrooms and their birthdays. Blessings!
