My Hands are Full

OMG my daughter is a mess!!! When she was smaller we bathed her in a bathseat that fit in our kitchen sink. Right before she grew out of it she ripped the kitchen sink loose. TWICE!!! Then tonight Cade is wearing his new PJ's Toy Story. Well little Miss Caylee loves them, so she keeps going and grabbing his pants and pulling them down. LOL He has to keep running to the couch to keep his pants on. Haha!! Then a few min. ago I was talking to a friend online about a very serious subject. All of a sudden I look up and Caylee has the door to the VCR in her hands. Now we don't really use our VCR since we have DVD and Blu-Ray but there are still some old favorites that we haven't replaced yet. I guess we better get on the ball and upgrade. It scares me to think what this little toot will be getting into as she gets older. :) Oh well at least she gave me a couple of good laughs tonight.

Naptime

A few weeks ago we bought Caylee a baby doll. She loves stuffed animals so we thought it was time for her to have her own baby. Weeelll, Mister Cade has kind of taken to this baby. He carries it around on his shoulder patting her back and saying "aahh it's ok." He even lets out a fake cry every now and then for the baby. :) It is pretty cute. Today I was rocking Caylee for her nap and Cade picks up the baby doll. He sits on the couch rocking and patting "his" baby. When I go to put Caylee down here he comes with "his" baby. Sure enough you guessed it, when I lay Caylee down he hands me the doll to put in the crib too. I politely smiled, took the baby, and gently laid her in the crib with Caylee. He smiled and you could tell he was so proud that he had put the baby down for a nap. Then we headed outside to play in his clubhouse, sandbox, and swing for a bit. I know one day he will be an outstanding daddy.

The Copycat

You always hear about "the little one" wanting to do everything that "the big one" does. At our house it is just the opposite. Cade is a copycat to almost everything Caylee is doing now. He crawls around the house with her, he pulls up on the furniture with her, he even sucks his thumb with her. Tonight I was putting away laundry and when I look over they are both chewing on the baby gate. Then while they were in the tub, Caylee started splashing and growling at me. As soon as Cade noticed he too was splashing and growling at me. It is so funny to see how they interact with each other. It is like living with two little monkeys on crack, lol. Needless to say there is NEVER a dull moment at our house.

The Evil Eye

Today was Caylee's nine month checkup. I can not believe our little princess is already nine months old. Anyways Jeff worked all night so I had both kids with me. They both did so good. I was so proud of them. However, when I think back to the appt. I can't help but smile and sometimes laugh when I think about it. Like all babies Caylee did not like it when the Dr. checked her ears/throat and she really hated the shot. Both times she cried I looked down and Cade was giving the Dr./nurse the evil eye. They are both very lucky that looks really can't kill because Cade would have killed them right there on the spot. I have never seen that kind of fire in his eyes. Look out future boyfriends, Caylee's brother definetly has her back.:)

Fishing

Today I busted my butt cleaning, doing laundry, ironing, and taking care of the kids. So tonight Jeff offered to bathe the kids while I drank a chocolate mocha. After he had bathed each of them he took Caylee out and dried her off. When he finished with her he went to get Cade out. While busy with Caylee, Cade decided to take a dump in the tub. When Jeff looked around the door Cade was picking up the terds and throwing them back into the water, haha. Then when Jeff made him stop and got him out he cried, lol. I offered to go clean the tub again but Jeff was nice enough to do it for me. He got an old coffee can and fished the terds out of the tub before scrubbing it down for me. This was one night I was sooo thankful Jeff was off and had offered to bathe the kids, lol. ;)

All in a Days Time

For a couple of weeks now little Miss Caylee has been army crawling. Well the other day she got up on all fours and is now a full fledged crawler. On that same day I left the room for just a few short minutes and when I came back she was PULLING UP on her walker. What the heck?! That's not all though. That night after I bathed her, she started using her bath towel to play peek-a-boo with me. No joke she mastered all the skills in just one days time. I can't believe how fast she is growing and learning. I know kids grow up fast, but to see them accomplish everything in one short day is just too overwhelming. I will definetly have to keep on my toes with this one, haha. She is such a loving little girl and loves to play with her big brother. Being a mother of two is everything I dreamed and so much more.

Great Job Babe

The other night before Jeff went into work we were bowling on the Wii. Cade loves watching us play. Every time I got a strike Jeff would say, "Good job babe." Cade always cheers us on. However, on this paticular day he decided to repeat everything. So every time Jeff would say good job babe, Cade would say it. It was so funny. When we finished I said, "No Cade, I am Momma not Babe." He pointed to his chest and said, "I am Momma." Huh that boy. I love him to death. He is so silly!! As for the potty training he is still doing really good. He is using the potty more and more and his underwear less. :) He is also doing a great job of sharing with his sister and usually doesn't have to be reminded. I can't believe he is already almost 2 and a half. The time is flying by but I am loving every minute, and am so blessed to have this sweet little boy in my life.
