Baylor: “What I am doing…”

• I am LAUGHING a lot!  Everyone thinks I am this happy all of the time…
• I am walking with a push toy.  I walk really fast and run into things and get very frustrated when I can’t turn around.
• I love watching TOY STORY with Madelyn.
• Mommy says my hair is getting long and I may need a haircut soon and that makes her sad.
• I love taking a bath and playing with all the toys and seeing how much water I can splash out of the tub for Mommy and Daddy to clean up. 
• I LOVE wrestling with my Daddy…I just laugh and have the best time.
• Daddy is trying to teach me to catch and throw a ball.
• I have started giving kisses and everyone seems to just love it, especially Mommy.  I just open my mouth and slobber all over Mommy’s face and she just melts.
• I like to wake up very early in the morning around 4:30 am so that I can spend some more time with Mommy and Daddy, but they don’t seem to excited about it…

Madelyn: “What I am doing NOW!”

• I am becoming such a big girl and telling all kinds of stories using big girl words such as “ridiculous.”
• I am teaching Bella and Baylor the rules of the house by saying, “Bella, You know better than that.”  and “Baylor, You are old enough to know better.”
• I love Chick-fil-A and would go there everyday if Mommy would let me.  I also like the grocery store (because of the free cookie I get at the bakery), Target, and TJ Maxx.
• I am still taking ballet and just LOVE it. 
• I am learning to ride a bicycle with training wheels.
• I am learning to kick a soccer ball.
• I love to help Mommy with her housework such as laundry, cooking, loading the dishwasher, and sweeping the floor.
• I am counting really good when I put my mind to it and I use my special counting finger.
• I am saying really nice things to my Mommy and Daddy, such as, “I love you” and “Mommy, I am so proud of you.”  Mommy just loves that.
• I went to the dentist and screamed the whole time, but at least I kept my mouth open so the lady could clean my teeth.  She told my Mommy that I had a “Steven Tyler” mouth. 
• I am still refusing to go to the big girl potty on a regular basis.  I just tell Mommy that I pooped or peed after the fact…
• I have finally learned how to escape from my crib and my life has changed forever…and so has Mommy’s and Daddy’s.
