Update on the Kiddos!

It's been quite a while since I blogged in general but it is most definitely time for an update on the kids!

Lets start with {<Madison>}. She had her 18 months wellness check and everything looked great! She is still small for her age weighing in at 20 pounds 6 ounces (10th percentile) and I don't remember her height but she is in the 25th percentile. Little girl!! She is still wearing 12 months clothing but I am so anxious for her to fit into 18 months stuff. She has so many cute clothes waiting for her!!

-giving hugs and kisses
-playing at the park
-taking a bath

Dislikes:
-swinging (she sometimes stays in it for a minute but most of the time she wants right back out!)
-eating (we are currently struggling to get her to eat most foods...its a battle!)
-listening (we're working on it)
-getting her hair done or taken out
-brushing her teeth

She is changing so much these days and her vocabulary has gotten HUGE!! She is talking all the time and can mimic almost anything you say. My current favorite phrase of her's is "I yove you". She can't say her "L"s and they have been replaced with a "Y" and it's probably the cutest thing ever. And she says it with such enthusiasm. It's adorable.






Now lets talk about [[Brayden]]. This little (well I guess I should start saying big) guy is growing up so fast! He is wearing mostly 4T-5T stuff but I just bought his Easter shirt from the BOYS section. Agh! I almost shed a tear at the store. Thankfully I was able to hold back this time. He starts a new preschool at the end of summer and I am so excited for him. He is beyond ready to be back in the classroom where he can be social and participate in numerous activities. He will be going 3 days a week which will give him ample time to interact with other kids there and hopefully make some friends.

-Baby Genius...he's still hooked on Vinko and Tempo
-being outside
-making his sister laugh
-painting
-stickers
-popcorn
-taking a bath
-squirt bottles

Dislikes:
-going to bed and taking naps (he doesn't fight it usually but he always tells me he doesn't want to)
-being limited to just one juice a day
-having to sit still

Brayden has been picking up all sorts of funny phrases from the movies and shows he watches and he spits them back out at the perfect times. My current favorite phrase of his is when he tells me "Mommy, you're one dynamite gal!" HAHA!!! Seriously hilarious! He is such a sweet boy most of the time although he tends to torture his sister quite a bit.





Stay tuned for Easter photos early next week! Can't wait to see their faces when they see their Easter baskets. So fun!
