A week with the kids...

I just spent just about a whole week with 3 kids.  Oh, how they've changed since 4 months ago when I started watching these little "innocent" toddlers.  Between the walkers turning into bumper cars, and the crawling everywhere they can reach, and the running away naked... I'm exhausted, lol.  

The bumper cars attack!  Their goal is to crash into anything, lol...including grandma's legs.  She was all bruised up by the first day.  They also use those things to get their little sticky hands on anything available to them.  Boy, how exciting it's going to be when they start walking on their own. 

No sleep!  5:30am, my little girl wakes up for her mommy's milk and in the process wakes up Toby, which only results in waking Brianna up.  And now the party began.  Not one of them wanted to fall back asleep.  They were so excited to have each other and no matter what you did they would not go to sleep. Can't there be a special milk that makes them sleepy??? This milk seemed to have some caffeine that I did not know about, lol.  8:30am, One goes down after another, after another.... and then I do. 

NO CLOTHES!!! Changing Lana is difficult.  She is twisting and turning as soon as her diaper comes off.  For now, she is kinda controllable, but BRIANNA, OMG!  She refused clothes all together.  Granny was changing her and she crawls away with a quickness.  Belle (granny's dog) got so excited to see the natural side of a baby, and started jumping around Brianna and playing with her.  Belle & Bri had a BLAST!!! She was laughing hysterically and crawled to the balcony door (still naked) and starts banging on the door as if she needs to be rescued from the clothes that are about to attack her, lol.  It was the highlight of our week.

NO!  Toby now shakes his head "NO" and laughs as he is doing it.  He is so proud of himself, and it's really cute.

Lana now crawls on all fours.  Well, it's kinda like she's hoping and pulling.  It's so adorable.  She's trying to catch up with her cousins.  Every time she crawls to something she wants, and works so hard to get to it, her cousins get there faster and snatch it away from her.  Brianna does it intentionally.  She is not happy if Lana has a toy, she has to get to her to get it away from her... even if she doesn't want it for herself.  One time, Lana was playing with a piano type toy and Brianna was in the walker with no way to reach Lana.  Well, needless to say Brianna got so angry that she wasn't able to get that toy away from Lana.  It was a bunch of frustrating screams whenever she looked Lana's way.  Brianna is not one be friendly with the others.  It's her way or the highway.  Angie, lots of luck with her when she becomes a teen!!! LOL.

Toby & Lana are friends.  They start smiling and playing together when they are together.  It's priceless to watch them get along.  They share their toys, and Lana looks like she looks up to him.  I can see them being BFFs. 

The unbelievable biter!!! Today Brianna was reaching for a toy and Toby was crawling over to her to play.  Well, I went to pick him up to get him ready for his nap and his little sister took a bite of poor Toby leaving a mark of 4 teeth and a small bruise.  Ohhhh how sweet it is to be just like Mama.... or is it?  This little "angel"  has anger management issues at this age?  This is gonna be interesting.   Toby cried & cried, but after about 15 minutes... he just forgave his sister so easily.  Let's hope that part of his personality stays that way.  He loves his sister.

I love seeing the new traits they develop.  Excited to see the next step.  For now, I'm going to rest. XOXO

  1. awwwww.LMAO. I am literally LMAO. Brianna is Bad!!!You gotta see this ting she does on our bed. She crawls to the edges and wont try to come over then she crawls to Roger and points to the edge so he walks over there and she crawls back to the edge reaches for his hand and jumps off while holding his hand. Then she takes a walk on the floor then wants to do it over and over again. TOO MUCH!!!
    Toby turns out to be the sweet one after all this time huh?? Besides his cry attacks he is the easier kid.And Brianna even has a "mean face" she puts on along with her act. Unbeliveable.
