The girl is something else. She's like a little tornado. She comes crawling (yes crawling, ok? she's totally on the Lincoln walking schedule!) into the living room and destroys it within seconds. We always find her in the cat toys. We even moved the cat toys under the table and she's always going under the table to get at the cat toys.
And she loves climbing. Oh my gosh does she love climbing! On anything and everything. She claims onto the ottoman and will try to stand. If she's not strapped into her high chair, she'll stand up. We have two kid size chairs in the living room and she's always climbing into both and just sitting there for a few seconds before she's on the move again.
One of the chairs is right by an end table. B showed us her mad climbing skills a couple days ago when she got into the chair and climbed onto the table. I'm clearly very close to her so don't freak out!
We are busy right now with two of my favorite things: potty training and teething. For real? Potty training? and teething! Will it ever end?! We've made a lot of progress with Lincoln and even made our first venture out into public just wearing undies last week. The hardest part is getting him to tell us he has to go when he's having fun. My new alarm clock is Lincoln in my face saying, "Mommy, I have ta go poootty". It's really awesome. Especially the days it's pre 6:00 am.
And teething. Oh my gosh, teething. Talk about never ending. Isa had the same four teeth for 5 months and now they are all coming in with a vengeance. Holy cow. My nights now consist of being up with B at least once and pumping her full of meds and then a wake up call bright and early from Lincoln. Kirk and I have both been walking around like zombies for the last couple weeks. It's all temporary, it's all temporary...
Can you see the teeth? And do you see the curl?! The lone curl!! I hope there are more!
Being the genius that I am, I decided to take both kids to the mall on a rainy day to get haircuts by myself. Holy cow. That was a chore! I even took them to Olga's. That was a disaster especially when I was talking to the server and looked back to see Isa nose deep in the almond butter. She had an allergic reaction on the way home. Poor thing was itching her eyes and had a rash all over her face. I raced home and gave her some Benadryl. She took a good long nap and was as good as new. So, I guess she still has a dairy allergy.
Here I am trying to get a picture of B. The girl can move.
Oh, this box is my creativity at it's finest. Thanks to Pinterest, I found this pin. We took a big box, put holes in the top and put Christmas lights through the holes. It's totally fun!
Let the holiday season begin!
