Madelyn Kate
1. She most definately is a girl with a girl attitude. When she gets hurt, she milks it for all it is worth and tells you all kinds of sob stories about it. She can be super happy one minute and the next she turns into some serious diva if she doesn't get her way. I am dreading when she is a teenager!
2. She has the cutest, craziest curly hair. We are so in love with it and so happy that she is a curly girl. Both Cam and I have naturally curly hair and I always wanted a girl with curls and she sure has got them. I am sure she will hate it when she is older, like me.
3. She loves to dance. She can hear the faintest sound of music and she starts bopping her head, bouncing her knees, and spinning around in circles. It is so cute and when she is in the car she really rocks out! This girl has got some rythym!
4. Maddie loves her blanket. Her Grammy Marion made it for her when she was a baby and she is just now becoming super attached to it. She is often found dragging it around the house and it is really big and heavy and she lugs it around anyway. Whenever she goes to sleep, she loves to have us lay the blanket all over her from head to toe and then she pokes her head out.. it is soo cute.
5. We are starting to teach her some sign language and she is pretty good at milk, eat, more, and book. Sometimes she just mixes them all up, but at least we know that she wants something instead of just grunting for it.
6. She is obsessed with dogs. She loves her Grammy's dog, Chewy and whenever we pull up to Grammy's house she just starts giving kisses and calling the dog. She walks around the house calling for Chewy and smacking kisses. No matter the size of the dog, she always wants to give it kisses and loves.
7. She is so cute when she blows us kisses and waves to us. She loves to sing 'itsy-bitsy spider' and do the actions and peek-a-boo. She can say mama, dada, uh-oh, and night,night, and dog. She roars like a lion when we ask her what it says and tells us also what the duck and cow say. WE think she is the cutest ever.. don't you agree??
TAGGART
1. He loves his dad like no other. He wants to be just like him and always doing whatever Cam is doing. Like fixing or washing his bike, mowing the lawn, taking a shower- whatever it is, he wants to be doing the same thing. It is pretty cute since they look a lot alike too, but not so cute when he cries that he wants his dad during the day when he is at work. Not so fun then!
2. He seriously has the smallest legs and ZERO bum! You can tell in this picture that his tooshy is hanging out. He often takes his pants off since they are already falling off! I bet Maddie's bum is bigger than his by far (but she does kinda have a ghetto booty!) The shorts he is wearing in this picture are size 2T! Maybe one day he will grow a butt, in the meantime thank heavens for adjustable waists and belts!
3. He has a new obsession with bugs, spiders, lizards or anything of this nature. Lately he has been catching grasshoppers and trying to keep them as pets. Last night he caught one and said to me , "Mom I love him, he is my best friend." Seriously a grasshopper??? YUCK! He loves to listen to the crickets chirpping at night and often sleeps with a bucket covered with saran wrap and a bug in it by his bed while he sleeps at night!
4. He is saying some of the funniest words and phrases lately. Like when he doesn't like something or doesn't want to do something he says, "I can't want to do this.." or "I can't like that." Whenever he wants to watch something on TV and I tell him it is time for bed he says "I want to watch for 2 minutes" while holding up 2 fingers. I guess one day I said this and now he uses it all the time, although we all know how 2 minutes ends up! When referring to yesterday or the other morning he calls it last day or last morning. He frequently uses the words 'member', 'but', and 'maybe'. We really think that everything that he says is too funny, but I just had to write down a few for remembrance.
5. He is such a boy and loves trucks, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, boats, airplanes, and any sport. I don't think he would even know what to do with a doll or barbie. We didn't really do anything, he is just this way. He could spend all day running around behind one of his trucks.
6. This boy hates haircuts with a passion. It really sucks because his hair grows so fast. We have clippers so Cam just does it at home, since I am sure no one out there would want to deal with it. We try to do it in the tub, with lots of candy and toys, but he always ends up screaming and getting hair in his suckers! Cam and I dread every hair cut!!!
7. He has a love/hate relationship with scary things or as he says it 'cary'. He always wants to get the scary looking movies at the video store and whenever he sees dark, small places he says that there are 'cary guys in there!' He never really gets super scared, almost just intrigued. It is pretty funny.
