Growin up too fast

Bryce, 8 months and 2 weeks old

mommy's boy ( i think i might have something to do with this though) because I can not let him cry for more than 1 minute. He already has me wrapped around his little finger... I see now why it is hard for some moms to realize that their little boy is all grown up and married... bryce and I had a talk and we both decided that he will live with us forever...

his second tooth just broke through yesterday, and if he keeps thinking that he can gnaw on his "nipple" then breastfeeding might end sooner than later..

loves to push his walker toy around to other objects that he can hold on to, today he moved all around the room from the couch to the tv and back to the couch pushing his walker...

can crawl super fast... the second I open the fridge or put down the dishwasher, his little hands are always right there to help me....or not help me... one of the two

got his 1st bloody nose and was still a happy little guy smiling for me... I am not exactly sure how he got this, but I do know that he was out back playing with Brynnly & Brylee and I went inside for a second and when I came back out to check on them this is how I found my poor little guy, he wasn't even crying... so I am guessing that the girls had something to do with it. Although it looks like he was in a cat fight and lost... the blood cleaned up nicely and thats when i realized that it was just a bloody nose rubbed all around his face. I seriously FREAKED out when I saw this, I was so scared.

laughs and is so smiley, he truly is a happy baby and I feel blessed to have him be such an easy child...

still takes 2 naps a day and like clock work he is up at 6AM every morning... I even blacked out his room to see if that would help him sleep longer, but no such luck

Brynnly, 2 years & 2 months old

milk mommy, milk mommy, milk... these are the first words that come out of her mouth EVERY morning!! She must have dreams about cows or something because its brainwashing my poor child in her sleep. I quickly have to make her breakfast or else she will repeat those words over and over and over... hopefully this stage she will grow out of soon... who taught this child to talk?!

she loves to play with her friends and thinks that everyone is her friend, age does not matter with Brynnly, anyone who comes over she says,"this is my friend mommy"

I really am impressed with how well she speaks, she can say anything that she wants and actually knows what most stuff means... Brian wasn't aware how often he said "danget" until he heard Brynnly repeat it and now we are much more cautious of what we say

She has to do everything by herself, "I do it mommy!" is a phrase I hear way too much. Its just so much faster though if I do it. But I guess they have to learn things for theirselves

she LOVES medicine, she seriously BEGS for it and so I have to hide it from her. Her & Bryce have pink eye, and this is her giving herself her own medicine... Bryce on the other hand, HATES medicine and it is the hardest thing to get him to swallow it

She loves hair and makeup time... I sit her on my counter as I do her hair and she pretends like she is putting make up on... for such a hyper child I am really surprised that I can still get her to sit still long enough for me to do her hair

she has a "crush" on the 6 year old boy who lives across the street named Daxton. She threw her first real tantrum laying on the floor and kicking her hands and feet and kept saying, "i want to go to Daxtons house mommy!" I really had never seen her act like this before. I think she was overly tired. But whenever she sees him she gives him a big smile... it's cute.

she has a very determined personality and will try to get what she wants

she loves her cousin Brylee, and everydays wants to go play at Brylees house... when are they old enough to walk their by theirselves?!

on sunday, i finally broke down and gave her her 1st haircut... i can't believe that she is 2 and I still had not even cut one little piece of her hair... she sat so still and let me just chop away... i cut a couple inches off and now it is all even and looks so much healthier, I dont know why I was so nervous to cut my little girls hair

she also is very sneaky, if she knows that she is not suppose to be playing with something then she will go and hide in our closet and close the door... usually it is lotion or soap...she is obsessed with both of those and loves to squirt them out and rub all over her body

she loves to put on daddys shoes and walk around the house in them, yesterday she also put on his socks along with his shoes... she cracks me up... literally... this was her today stealing Bryce's toy away from him and showing me how fast she can run...

she is so off and on with going to bed. Daddy reads her a book everynight or tells her a story before bed and sometimes she will just go right to sleep and other times all "hell" breaks loose. she knows that if she screams and cries long enough that we most likely will let her come lay in our bed. I know its a bad habit, but it is so sad when we hear her screaming under the door saying, "daddy come back here, daddy!"

Life is great and I am truly thankful for my family, my children make my day exciting and adventurous everyday and my husband completes my day by coming home at night and spending time with our family. Can it get better than this?!
