Growing Pains

The other day I was standing in the kitchen and Jada was playing in the dining room. I looked over and she was just walking into the kitchen without holding on to anything. This is the girl who refuses to walk. She took about 10 steps that day but hasn't taken anymore since. When I tried to get her to do it for Dad when he got home she did the typical Jada leg buckle. How can a 15 month old be so dang stubborn???

Jada also reached another major milestone. I took her to her 15 month doctor visit and he finally gave me the go ahead to turn her car seat around. She hasn't yet reached 20 pounds, but she is getting there. Maybe by 18 months. She is excited to be facing forward and be able to see everything that is going on!!

As for Mia--we were eating dinner tonight and she was really enjoying her food. All of a sudden out of the blue she says "If I eat all this dinner it's going to make me flat." No that's not a typo she did said flat. Obviously she has no idea what fat is, but I just can not figure out where in the heck she heard that phrase. I swear I never talk about getting fat so I don't know where she got it. I just ignored it, but it gave me a glimpse into the future. Oh boy!!

Not So Unusual!!!

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We are sad that it is over since we have been looking forward to it for so long. There will always be next year, and we have already started thinking about our costumes...

The other day I was at the doctor and he was asking me what my kids were going to be for Halloween. When I told him that Mia was going to be a bat he said, "Hum, that's unusual, is she an unusual girl?" My response was "No, she's not so unusual, if she had full control of what she was going to be she would have chosen to be a princess." Since she gets to be a princess everyday we decided to do something different. She looked at a Family Fun magazine at Grandma's and decided a bat would be fun! Of course she wanted to be pink bat, but that wouldn't have been quite the same. She made sure to clarify to everyone that she saw that she was a "nice bat." Jada was a lady bug and she actually really liked her costume!
