Finally deciding to blog the little moments-

Okay... So I decided it was time to type things that I want to remember. I hear or see stuff the kids are doing... and I forget to write it down. It's the little daily things I want to remember. I suppose my blog will be my journal... that I don't mind others reading if they want to. I think I will use my blog as a motivator and also to keep as a reference to look back to. I was blogging like crazy with Megan when she was little... but now with two... there hasn't been as much time. When there is time... I have been distracted with Facebook. I must admit... I'm not too into the Facebook phase... but it has its perks. I like to glance at how people are doing... and like it or not... this is the generation we are living in.

Megan's conversation with Renae at her house on Tuesday February 1st-
(while doing an art project)

Renae- "You're good at your colors and shapes"
Megan- "Yeah... I'm an artist"
Renae- "I bet your Mommy taught you your colors."
Megan- "Yes she did... My Mommy taught me everything else I know too!"

It made me feel like I succeeded at something! Hooray! She's a pretty cool kid! I don't always get her at her brightest moments... ex: complaining, begging, taking toys, pouting... but Man... her great moments make me feel so special! I love being her Mommy. (We have lots of fun doing projects together.)


Thursday February 3rd-
Jacobs 15/18 month check up. Oops... I forgot to take him to his 15 month check up... so I decided to catch up on the 18th month. He did really great. I felt so bad for him... he really seemed to get his feelings hurt when the nurse gave him 3 separate needles for his booster shots. His stats weren't surprising. 15% in weight. 45% in height. 55% in head.

My favorite thing he does lately...
Pat you on your back when you are holding him! He's so sweet. He bear hugs you... lays his head on your shoulder... and pats you as if to soothe you. He has a big heart for a little guy!

Jakie is running around the house like crazy. He is always a happy little boy. His dimples are amazing and smile contagious. He doesn't say a lot of words. Megan beat him in that department... but he engages... pays attention... and smiles all the time! I'm happy with all of that. He is a great napper! He goes right down... he takes a 2-3.5 hour nap during the day... and 11-12.5 hours at night. @ 18 months he still loves his paci ---morning- noon and night... but I don't mind. He will get rid of it when he wants to.

Megan is in Pre-school (@ Stepping Stones) on Tuesdays and Thursdays while I'm at work. She goes to Nae's in the afternoon... where she gets to play with Jacob and Eric. I always look forward to seeing my kiddos daily report cards. She usually has some pretty funny quotes for me.
