Monthly update

Jack, you are 10 months... you have got to be kidding me? I guess it is true time really does fly by.... You have taken 10 -15 steps and are doing great at walking. You should be walking around in no time at all. Don't know how I feel about that just yet, my little baby is walking, and my other "baby" (Addie Jane) is about to go to preschool? Ugh, just got a little sick to my stomach ;) Anyways, your front 2 teeth are coming in nicely with a pretty big gap in between. I am fairly confident you will still be cute. You smile all the time. You still have blond hair and beautiful almond shaped brown eyes, with long eyelashes. You are beginning to "talk" more, I can't really understand you, but I try. You still just say "mama" "ba-ba" and the occasional "dada", and waving hi and bye. Right now we are trying to learn the word "ball" I think you will get it pretty soon. You love playing with Addie Jane. You follow her every move, which I think at times can be frustrating to her, but she tolerates you most of the time. Your sleep pattern is still not wonderful but improving. When you wake up you just want your sound machine turned back on and I pat you on your back for 10 minutes and it is back to sleep you go. You eat great, all table food for my baby boy now. Macaroni and Cheese, green beans, carrots, mandarin oranges, pears, bananas, and any pasta. Great job! You are still weighing in at 25 pound and you are 28 inches long (not quite sure on the height just estimating) but just a little over average for height and weights you are looking great. I hope you don't loose all your baby fat when you beginning running around and wrestling with your big sister. Always excited to see how you change from day to day but I am still cherishing these times I have with you where all you want is "mama'' and to be rocked. I love you nugget. Just do mommy a little favor and let me sleep ;) I will be so much more fun, I promise.

Addie Jane, you are 30 months old....(I don't like saying how many months you are after you turn 2 so from now on its just going to be called a monthly update ha). Crack me up, you have got some personality. Your expressions are so exaggerated. When you are happy you are over the top and when you get mad, you get MAD. Sometimes "daddy bear" and I just laugh because you when you get sleepy, you get so sad about everything, which I know sounds mean but it's because we know nothing is wrong with you. For example, you ask to watch Monsters Inc. and I say, "ok honey, one second let me find it," and you break down into tears and I didn't even say "no". It is only because you are so tired, then you say your sorry and fall asleep. Nightly routine I suppose. You are amazing. You really do smile a lot, and laugh for real, as well as pretend to laugh. Your "pretend" laugh is by far the best, you lean your head way back and hold your little hands together, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. You love to dance and say all the time you want to be a cheerleader for Alabama. You love Big Al, you say all the time you want to hold his hand and walk with him....you say Mary Ella is going with you, and that she won't be scared because he is soooo nice. You know how to draw an "A", you say, "up, down and across the town." Love it. You know what letters people names start with and you can pick out about 10 letters, as long as you are in the mood. Ha. You are sweet. You tell me, "Mama that dress is so pretty," or, "Mama that purse is cool" I think you pick up on those things for sure. I think you are awesome, everyone does. I love you.
