...until You.

I saw this posted on a page on Facebook...Surviving Motherhood With A Sense Of Humor. Pretty funny pictures and quotes. And then you get one like this that chokes you up a bit and has you awwww-ing out loud. This was my awwww moment. enJoy.

up, up, and another month older

Leia has been my busiest toddler. Dakota and Lily both gave mommy time to do this or that. Leia, not so much. She sits and plays right beside. And if she's not playing, she has her hands banging the laptop keyboard. 

She is a climber. Up and down on everything. She has recently learned how to get off the couch when she climbs up there. Which is good, but it means now the only time she is in one place is when she is buckled in her carseat or high chair. Leia is now 15 months old and doing good. She's in the 80th percentile for height. She recently had a growth spurt which pushed her into 24 month footed pajamas...eek!! She's growing so fast or maybe it just seems fast when I know she's my last baby.

 I think she has climbed up the swing set more times than the big kids...I think I have an adventurer on my hands.

schooling after Christmas break

Kids are back in school today. Dakota has all day school and Lily is still in half day school. But ya know, the house already seems quieter. 

Leia is going to her ENT today. She was positive for the Flu last Friday and earlier this week, her ears started draining and getting yucky. The ENT wants to check them out and make sure that nothing is wrong with her ears or tubes. Hoping for a good appointment today. 

Today, Leia is 15 months old!!! Craziness. Time is flying by....does it seem to fly by faster with your last child? I think so.

She's turning into a smart one, too. She had climbed on the top bunk yesterday. I walked in there and called her name,  "Leia Marie. Get down right now. 1....." And Leia replies with "2" smiling from ear to ear. I couldn't hold the laughter back.

I guess I really do count alot when getting the children's attention. Maybe I should start counting to 10 so Leia can count higher than 2 ;)
