a whole lotta this and that!

I've been a mad picture takin' fool lately! I've been feeling bad because I haven't been doing so well with good pics, so I took some. Good fun!

Since turning one, I kid you not, Jaden has developed a whole set of new talents! Ok, well I know it's all developmental, but I think he's pretty talented! For example, yesterday, he feed himself for the first time (he's been playing with the spoon for quite some time, but he actually got a good few bites from bowl to mouth with his spoon!) And Maleah's saying, "Oh mommy, not ANOTHER picture!"
Since the day after their birthday, he's been doing A LOT MORE of this! He goes form sitting on the floor to standing, and he'll squat down, bend over, all that, and NOT fall!


He's been walking, too! He took 5 steps in a row without falling, at least twice today! He's honestly spending more time on his feet (mostly standing, with a good bit of walking) than he does on his bum, or hands and knees. YAY!!!
He's reading German! ;) Apparently reading it upside down makes it easier.... I'll have to try that one! Or, he'll just absorb it through his head! Dangit, I can't think of the word for that!


Ah yes, the angry face! I have no idea what happened (most likely, sissy took a toy he had or wanted!) This is the resulting tantrum, something quickly learned in the past couple days.
Climbing for curiousity! hehehe... that was just a funny picture. :)




And here's Maleah, my beautiful 4 year old! Wow....

She's our little Guitar Hero. She LOVES music, and pretending to rock out! She also watches the Sound of Music, so she's got a softer side for music, too! Any time there is someone playing a guitar on a movie, she pauses it, runs and grabs her guitar, and plays along. You should see her when we're playing Guitar Hero on our Xbox 360! Her newest thing? Stage diving practice!
And her "Rock On!" pose.
And, between songs, she practices her princess curtsey, "Like on Cinderella!"

my nudist in training... and three little steps

Ok, so I was looking back over my older posts, and realized you probably all think I don't dress my daughter. Honestly, I DO! She does NOT like to keep clothes on her little body! Well, other than when she layers up for winter in 112 degree weather like a couple posts ago! :) But, she had those clothes off within about a half an hour.

Seriously, the only time I can keep clothes on her is if we are away from hom. Even then I think she's itching to get home and get those clothes OFF. She takes her hair out of how ever I do it when we're out. I think this is her version of stripping in public.

We're having a birthday party for the kids this coming Friday, and I'm hoping she'll keep her clothes on for that! I'm not holding my breath, though. She usually has her clothes of within an hour or so whenever we have friends over. I'm sure a couple extra people won't make her shy. Heck, she will even go to the door when we answer it, run past us and the person at the door to run around our hallway in circles in just her underwear. I think we're going to have to start gluing her clothes on.

Yes, my little nudist in training...

She did NOT learn this habit from me!!!!

Here's a pic from (ALMOST!) a year ago now. My goodness, time flies! I can't believe she's gonna be 4! She's been such an amazing big sissy this past year. :)

OH! Speaking of flying time, Jaden took some more steps today, without me coaxing him! I was sitting on his floor in his room, and he used me to stand up, and I scooted back, but didn't say a word, and he stepped towards me! After sitting down for a sec again, he stood back up and took 2 steps! The best thing was how he laughed after he did it! It's like he was so excited and proud of himself. He's getting SO big! I know, there are so many kiddos who walk well before they're one, but I'm ok with my kids doing their thing when they get to it! I'm still super excited for all his firsts, whenever they may happen! Ok, well, as long as he's walking by the time he starts school, we're good. hehehe! Yikes! My baby man is almost one!
