Keaton
There's actually not a ton that's changed in the last two weeks with Keaton. Although we have made great progress with naps. He will still fuss a couple of times during his nap but for the most part he is sleeping a pretty good stretch for both 2 hour naps. He's really been such a good boy lately and I just LOVE his smiles! I think he's going to be a pretty laid back little boy which will be a nice compliment to Lexi :-)
I go back to work in 3 days :-( It sure is going to be hard leaving my little man. I feel like we're really starting to bond and things are just getting fun! I have a feeling he's going to be a mommy's boy and I am also predicting his big sister is going to boss him around a lot but he'll still look up to her :-)
I've been getting a lot of comments lately from strangers on how big he is. The funny thing is that for the most part when people have said this all they can see is his face. So I just have to tell them that he's not really big, my kids just carry all their weight in their cheeks! He's actually small in terms of height and perfectly average for weight!
Lexi
Potty training has gone fairly well. She pretty much consistently goes first thing in the morning and right before bed. When she's home all day with us she rarely goes in her diaper (except for poop, which we can't get her to do in the toilet, see previous post!). She isn't really telling us she needs to go potty though. It's more that we're taking her around the same times. If we forget to ask her if she needs to go she will still go in her diaper. Some days are better than others but I think we're making progress. She gets really excited when she does go and while she's peeing she'll say "I need to go tell Daddy" if I'm in there with her or "I need to go tell Mommy" if Brian's in there with her. Then she comes up to us and says "I did it! Give me a high five!"
Recently Lexi has starting singing a lot. I just think this is the cutest thing in the whole world to hear her cute little voice singing songs! Her favorites are Twinkle Twinkle, the ABCs, the Wheels on the Bus, and the song from the movie Tangled. The only words she knows to the song from Tangled are "wondering, wondering, wondering" so she just walks around the house singing those words over and over.
Lexi is now starting to get into dress up. She has a few skirts that actually are regular clothes but they look kind of like dress up clothes and when she puts them on she spins around in circles saying "la la la, la la la".
She definitely has multiple sides to her though because she also loves to "fix" things. She's so curious and whenever she sees me or Pa with tools she always wants to help out. She knows her toys need batteries and if we say anything is broken she'll say "It needs batteries?" I bought her a tool set for Christmas and I just know she's going to love it!
Some of Lexi's quotes and crazy antics this week:
Before Lexi used to randomly add an "A" to the end of some words, like "drop-a". Now she has started adding an "ed" to some of her words. For example, anytime she tells us to "stop" it is "stop-ed it".
"I am Buzz Lightyear." "To infinity and beyond." "To the rescue." - These are all from Toy Story of course!
"Stop killing me!" - I have no idea where she got this from. I'm going to guess one of her movies but who knows!
"Get out of my room!" - Sometimes when Brian puts her down for a nap or to bed at night she tells Oscar to get out of her room. Then she'll tell Brian to get out too. Bossy little girl!
"Put my hood up." - She insists on wearing her winter coat even if it's not that cold out. And whenever she puts it on she says "put my hood up."
The other day Brian gave me a hug and Lexi did not like it! She started yelling "Get off of her!" We played it up of course :-) She was wearing a backpack and she took the backpack off like she was ready to rumble. Then she goes up to Brian and yells at him "Be nice to her! That's my Mommy!". She kept scolding him and yelling "Be nice to her!" Then she would come over to me and touch my hand very gently like she was comforting me. A few minutes later Brian hugged me again and she started punching him and doing karate kicks, like she was literally spinning and kicking. I have no idea where she learned this from! We told her it wasn't nice to kick but I could barely hold back my laughter! I was also a little proud that she had such good moves :-) - UPDATE - After writing this post I realized where she got her moves from. Kung Fu Panda!
