It's funny because whenever I take out my camera, I think about all the great pictures I can post to my blog- obviously my desire is stonger than my motivation, but I would like to try to keep this updated more frequently. Here are two pictures from the past few months. Madeline is in one of her leotards for dance class, which she loves. She'll have a recital in a couple of months which they have been practicing for. She is star of the week at preschool! She gets to stand at the front of the line and she had to put together objects for the alphabet bucket. Her letter was "L" so we choose a lime, ladder, lego, lightbulb, lamb, letter L (fridge magnet) and a lemon. Also today I was the mystery reader for her class and she seems pretty proud that I was there. I will cherish that because I'm sure there will be a time when she is quite embarrassed that I am her mother!
Jake is walking everywhere now. He loves to climb on things, like the dishwasher when it is open, and the top of Maddie's dresser when he is on her bed. He's starting to talk more too. His favorite words are momma, dada, sissy, puppy, kitty, pop pop, and ball. He loves to play with his toy cars and balls and he's usually interested in anything Madeline happens to be playing with as well. He slept until 4 am in his crib last night, which is fabulous. My prediction is he'll start sleeping really well right around the time I will need to start waking up every few hours with the new baby!
