This is obviously not my child, but it is my bff's little boy.

In our household - Mason hasn't even tried to crawl the normal way, he is army crawling everywhere. Also his baby babble is getting more and more and I love it. He just says "bob bob bob" I joke with DH "who is bob?!"

My YDD is really frustrating me most of the time - typical two year old stuff. But now, when we're in public - she will see other kids and yell at them "This is my mommy, Diane!"
She also wants to have "sleepovers" in her sister's room every night.
This is my "baby."
I'm mad at my dh this week so there will be AW'ing there (yes, I'm 12)
I haven't seen C much the past week or so because of work. This morning when I was getting him dressed, he was standing on his bed and said "mommy, you wook (look) so so boody-full (beautiful)" I almost cried.
My kid is having a massive language boom right now. Repeating everything, putting 2 or 3 words together, and knows all of his animals sounds. It's kind of fun being able to interact with him more and I'm so glad we are inching towards the point of him being able to tell me what he wants, or what's wrong.
My DH is on my nerves lately, so I have nothing nice to say about him.
We need a date night, to say the least.
I like my dogs more now that we are in a bigger house. They aren't nearly all up in my shiit as much as they used to be. I kind of feel bad for them cause Austin has recently decided that the new fun game is to chase them around with his lawn mower, or ride on toys. Poor dogs. They have no idea how miserable their lives are going to become the more he figures out that how he can play with them.
Kids: Owen is so fun now, and he is so sweet sometimes. He always tells me he loves me "oh so much" and says I am the "best mommy because I make him playdoh" - I love him. Ben, he is such a good baby - if I could be guarenteed that I wouldnt be so sick during pregnancy, and every baby would be like him, we'd have 2 more kids easily - without a doubt. He's such an angel, and a great way to end the baby stage. Nothing but good memories!
DH: He's been awesome lately. He's been there when I need him, and is stepping up to the plate when I need to get out of the house for some me time. He also is starting to see how tough it is maintaining a clean house, shopping, taking care of kids, ect....he appreciates me more.
Love my kiddos just like this! Thanks Amy&Andy!
Ian is rolling tummy to back and almost back to tummy. He is the most light hearted little guy and such a goof. This kid seriously cracks me up.
I love my Elsie. I was cleaning out my closets a couple weeks ago and she was helping. She got into the drawer that has my lingerie. Before I knew it she's dressed in this grey satiny dress lingerie thing. She kept going around saying she was Lily while wearing the gray dress thingy. Who the heck is Lily? I finally realized she was pretending to be Lily Munster from the Munsters Show.
Sawyer: Well there isn't enough time to talk about him. I wish he was still small but I love this time. He loves to climb up to a standing position on everything!!! Then he looks at you with the cutest smile because he is so proud of himself.
He finally is starting to crawl but the little guy is so slow at it that he eventually just decides to go back to army crawling because it is more efficient. But when he does crawl to watch his little body wiggle a little as he does it, is just so cute!
Stairs are no feat for him anymore! he loves to climb them but when he gets to the top, he sits right down at the edge and scares me he will flip back down.
He loves to hang upside down and pushes himself back so he can do so.
The dog! He just giggles like crazy when he sees him and loves to feed the dog too! Of course, the dog loves the feeding handouts.
I don't think I truly understood how amazing being a mom is!
B is soooo close to rolling back to tummy (already goes tummy to back). If he doesn't get distracted and can just get his arm out of the way, he'd be there! He is laughing more and more every day - not just when I tickle him now. Last night, he laughed at me when I put him on the changing table!
He started holding his own bottle at daycare. They said he actually took it away from his teacher and when she tried to help him get it back in his mouth, he got mad and wouldn't start drinking until she completely let go!
DH - well, he's trying! He got up with B this morning when he thought that 5:30 was playtime. We are all sharing a cold and I feel horrible and had already been up an hour with B at 1 this morning. DH got up and rocked him for almost 2 hours -- B fell back asleep on his chest and he was afraid to move him so that he wouldn't wake me up.
We have family pics on Saturday with Heidi -- I can't wait to get B's smile on a professional camera! :-)
I can't forget the puppies! They are doing so good with B now that he is more active... They come over to him and let him "pet" them. If he pulls their hair, they just look at me like "WTF???" but stay by him after he lets go. They love watching him play -- they get so excited when they see him, and he loves watching them play together! Hours of entertainment! :-)

Elyse cracks me up all the time. She is always doing something funny or giving me crazy looks. She is SO excited to be a big sister. Everything has to do with it. She eats all her food so she can get big to be a big sister, she goes to bed easier at night so she can grow to be a big sister, she is listening better because she is going to be a big sister. Even with clothes, if something we put on her is too small, it's okay because she can give it to Isla. I really hope this enthusiasm continues once Isla is here!
DH is great as usual. I am very excited to see him with Isla now that he is comfortable in his role as a dad. I love watching him play with E, there's nothing better! He has offered to drop off and pick up the kids once I'm done with maternity leave, which will take a huge chunk of time out of my day, so he's pretty awesome!
