She turns 8 months old tomorrow. That is so hard to believe! She is my funny little monkey and I mean that. She is fascinated with things like her hands, she loves bananas and she grunts a lot. She was saying "Dada" but not all that much. She is liking food a little better now (although we still struggle with veggies). She's not crawling yet but she does accidentally scoot herself backwards when she's in the crawling position (which then just makes her mad because she's going in the opposite direction than what she intended).
Lainey is still very much a two year old. She is super sweet...until she's not. I have to remind Troy all the time that she's just very sensitive. Take yesterday for example. My Mom was here with the girls and she had heated up some lunch for Lainey. Lainey was fussing because she wanted to eat it even though my Mom warned her it was pretty hot. Well, Lainey went to take a big bite and my Mom said, "No Lainey, don't eat it - it's hot!" and Lainey put her head down on the table and just cried and cried. My Mom had to explain that she wasn't yelling at her, she just didn't want her to burn her mouth. Such a sensitive little animal...
As for the big kids around here...we're fine. Troy is insanely busy with his work and the Army. Not that it is a bad problem to have but he is working most nights and weekends which makes me feel a bit like a single Mom. (Hats off to all the single Moms out there!)
Here is the part where I post cute yet amusing pictures of the littles:
Lainey's mullet had kicked it up a notch in these pics. Don't believe me? Check this out:
Glorious. You'll have to stay tuned for updated pics of her after her Aunt Lala have her a much needed haircut.
