It feels like ages since I posted an update. I took a new job at the end of March (which I love!) and then our wild, fun summer hit, so I've been one busy mama.
Madeline had her 4 year old check-up today and got a great report! She weighs 36 lbs (52%) and is 41 1/4" tall (73%). Our sweet sassy girl is so imaginative and so funny. Her wit is sharp as a tack and she absorbs everything she sees and hears. Most recently, she has developed a love for musicals (which makes me happy as a clam). She loves The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady, especially. Her favorite tunes are "I am 16 Going on 17" and "Henry Higgins." Every night is a private concert at our house. We have so much fun singing and dancing together. She's still very much into Disney Princesses and is often found in a princess dress, crown and high heels before breakfast hits the table. She takes issue with my being friends with someone and when Derek and I kiss (always has to be the cheek...or else).
Benjamin is a wild man! He runs, he dances, he throws things on the floor, he climbs, and he runs some more. He still loves Mickey Mouse, his sister, bath time and Deacon. He also loves the blender. Anytime I use it, he comes running and wants to help. Our little man is starting to say things like "thank you" and "more" and when you say "bye bye" to him, he blows you a kiss. His new favorite animal sound is "baaa" for sheep. He thinks it's hilarious! If you ask him to raise his arm, he'll do it and wait for you to tickle him, and then he just howls. He has 16 (!) teeth and uses those bad boys to eat about anything in sight. He's officially sitting in a chair at the table (which he likes much better than the high chair) and is trying to use his utensils to eat - instead of to play. When he successfully gets food into his mouth with his spoon, he claps for himself and says "yay!"
I am so grateful for these two precious babies that make my days so bright and full of life. Always an adventure!
