As I look at my blog today, I wonder where did the time go and why I am so so terrible at blogging?!? People LOVE to say oh it's becasue you have 2 kids now and you are busy, but I do not like that excuse. I go out of my way to try to do all for Alyssa that I did for Addison and this blog should be no exception. I blame it on Facebook! If I sent half as much time on the family blog as I did on Facebook, not only would it be current and up to date, but it would be the prettiest, most advanced blog out there! A very close friend of mine loves to tease me about my lack of updating and she has every right! She is so good about updating hers and I am her biggest fan. I love to read all about her girls growth, development, and mostly the funny things that happen in her house. So, I am making a promise to her as well as myself that I will get on this blog at the very weekly.
So, here is what is new... Alyssa just turned 6 months old! She is a cute, chubby, chatty little girl. She is sitting up on her own, rolling everywhere, babbling like crazy, and getting her first tooth. She is really starting to notice her big sister. Alyssa smiles and gets so excited to see Addison. She has also taken a pretty strong liking to Oliver. She makes a point of rolling over to him whenever she is on the floor. Oliver is such a good dog, he just lays there and let's her do whatever she wants. Of course he sneaks in the ocassional kiss/lick! She has her 6 month appointment tomorrow so we are very anxious to see where she is as far as weight and height. I am certain she is in the 90th percentile unlike her peanut sister Addison. And that brings me to my next topic.... Addison
So many people told us how great having kids would be. Of course we believed them, but we never in a million years realized how hard we would laugh. We never know what to expect out of her little mouth. She has become such talker. She wants to know all about everything every minute of the day. She surely keeps us busy and on our toes. This week's funniest story happened while Brian was outside preparing the front yard for new mulch. She came walking down that front pathway in her little jean shorts and announced "It's friggin hot out here". I really couldn't believe my ears, so I asked, "What did you say?" Without any reservation she repeated exactly what I thought she had said. Guess Mommy needs to be a little more careful with her word choice!
Stay tuned.. I PROMISE to get better at this. If for no one else, for the girls. I want them to be able to look back, read this stuff and laugh as hard as we do!
