What a difference a year makes

One full year later.........
Let's see, this week Dylan learned how to snap her fingers, she read her first two sentences in  a book (a new book)  she memorizes all of her other books so I can not tell what words she really knows in those!  She just got over the flu/croup, she can whistle (sort of) and she weighs 32 pounds.  Her newest thing is trying on words.  For example today was "Daddy you are ruining my life and I love you".  While carrying Jude "Oh Mommy he is so confused," "It is just so simple Mommy, just work harder."
We went to the fair and she rode all the kiddy roller coasters and begged for more!  No fear this one!


Jude this week has been up no less that 2 x's per night for the past 3 weeks.  Started with an ear infection, turned into the flu, and now is cutting a tooth in the front and a molar as I figured out yesterday.  Jude finally hit 20 pounds this week.  At his 1 year appointment her was in the 30% for height / 8% for weight / 3% for head size out of 100%.  He took 5 steps to mommy this week and he learned how to clap (Monday).  He eats EVERYTHING!  Loves chicken salad, humus, quesadillas with guacamole, beans, olives, tomatoes, salmon this cottage cheese....seriously! Oh his favorite toy is Dylan's pink doll house!


Things I have learned this year....I am not patient, I will never get a full night sleep again, I could not do this without Matt, ........I would not want to do this without Matt, even if the kids did sleep I would still get up to check on them to watch them sleep, my patience grows more and more everyday....bottom line, I love my life..... every sleep deprived day of it!
