I will start with Madison since she has the longest list to write about.
She is seriously one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen, and not just because she is mine. She loves to cuddle and give kisses and hugs. She is a quiet girl but she lets you know she is around.
She has been pretty silent for the past 6 months, but in the past two weeks has just become a jabber box. Its pretty cute. She said 'Opa' last week, clear as day. Twice too. Tim's dad had come over to help set up the wireless internet so Tim could play xbox live, and he was standing in the kitchen and she was sitting on the couch and goes "opa". I was the only one who heard it that time but then she walked into the kitchen, lifted her arms to him and said it again. It was really cute!! So far she has only said, mama, dada an opa. haha, seriously that's it, oh and uh-oh. Told you she was quiet. She loves to climb up in your lap with a book and have you read to her, her favorites are the ones she got for Christmas. They are sesame street beginnings books.
She is also pretty tough for her age, anyone who knows Mackenzie, knows Madison has to be. She doesn't really enjoy playing with kids her own age but prefers older toddlers, around 2-3 years old. She can hold her own with them too. Children at that age don't really understand the concept of sharing and tend to take away toys a lot. Madison will hold tight to a toy and if a child tries to take it she will scream to get an adult's attention. I'm pretty impressed that she doesn't just start crying like most kids. She also doesn't cry if she falls or trips, she just stands up and dusts it off.
Oh yeah, she's still sleeping through the night, woohoo! She also has a new interest in the potty. Thank god. Mackenzie is helping with that one, which is pretty cute. Every time Madison goes to the potty Mackenzie tells her 'be a big girl and go in the potty', Madison will sit there and then Mackenzie will tell her 'good job'. It's cute.
Mackenzie has a new cute thing that she does, she sings. Not those kiddy songs either, songs off the radio. Her favorites are "I'm yours", "Heartless" and "Womanizer". She's actually pretty good too. Quite cute.
She is starting to take naps in panties. She doesn't wear diapers during the day, but normally when she sleeps. She has recently started waking up with dry diapers after a nap so I'm starting to do panties. She still wakes up with a wet diaper in the mornings though, so I'm not THAT brave yet.
So Tim's test is on the 4th of February, and he is very nervous. I know he will do great regardless but he is still nervous. He is going to be studying like crazy from now til then. Our friend Matt has 7,000 hours and works with the Union so he has been helping Tim study. I'm so excited for Tim to finally be a licensed plumber and hopefully get his own truck, soon!
Anyway, that's my update.
And just because we got a kick out of how small Madison's bites are
