Let's brag on our kiddos

MommyAtty

My 2 year old is starting "wee school" in a couple of weeks. And she's so excited about carrying a backpack! She's been practicing at home. She's learning to take off her own shoes and socks and is a champion zipper-doer-upper. And my almost 4 month old is a smiling, growing, sleeping thru the night future linebacker who is now in 6 month clothes. He started out as a 6 lb, 4 oz shrimp, but he's huge now! I'm so proud and so ridiculously in love with those two. What are your kiddos doing to make your heart swell and buttons pop with pride??

My 8.5 month old is walking holding onto one hand. It's total lurching and so darn cute. She's also standing on her own for a good 10 seconds. She wants to take a step but she gets too excited and throws herself off balance. When she actually starts to walk I'm in trouble.

My 2.5 year old daughter has started singing songs that she makes up on the fly.  It is hysterical to listen to her.  I've caught her on cell phone video a couple times.  She is too funny.  She's a trip!  Oh and she thinks that if she holds her hands flat against the side of her legs that we can't hold her hand.  She is one independent lady!

My 9 month old wants to walk in the worst way.  He has been spotted standing without holding on for a good amount of time and took one step towards my husband the other day.  I do not like this, I do not like this at all.  He is so stinkin cute and snuggly it is making the wind down to summer all the more difficult because that means I have to go back to work .  He has started giving "kisses" and by that I mean blowfishing my face with his mouth wide open. then laughing hysterically.

DS1 started kindergarten last week. He loves it and loves taking the bus, learning and meeting new friends. He is doing great.

DS2 started rolling over a few weeks ago. He also had been sick over the last month with pink eye, an ear infection and now a stomach virus and he still smiles even when feeling crappy. Gotta love day care.

DS1 (will be 3 in just under 2 weeks) had his birthday party with my family out of state over the weekend and would say thank you to whoever gave him a present before he even opened it and without being prompted.

DS2 (10 months old tomorrow) is taking 5-6 steps at a time, standing up on his own without holding onto anything, and has dropped 1 MOTN wake up, and so far he loves all food.

Well, not to brag but,....

My 21 month old is a CHAMPION nose picker and cat tormentor!! (?tormenter? :-/ )

And my 5 month old is getting pretty handy at yanking my shirt away to get some boob.

Also, my 12 year old (13 next week) is tops at getting scraped up doing almost nothing at all.

(...brings tears to my eyes...[sniffle])

My little guy rolled over tummy to back on Monday (12 weeks, 5 days).   Alas, the nanny saw it, not me.  But I'm still proud of him.

He's starting to understand that he can make us smile.  Yesterday during a nursing session, he would frown, then smile, then stick out his tongue while watching my face.   He knew all those things get a reaction out of me I guess.   He would then smile, duck his head and nurse for a bit and then pull off and do it all over again.  So cute!

My 5-year-old is reading chapter books and has finally stopped crying when she doesn't get her way.

Everything they do makes my heart swell. Well, almost everything.

Right now I'm feeling super proud of how DS1's doing in school. I was nervous about him starting kindergarten but he's taken to it really well. He's got little buddies, the teacher hasn't expressed any concerns about him acting up, and he even got a "reading out loud" award.

DS2, whose receptive language has always been awesome but has been slow with the expressive, is currently going through a word explosion so we can finally have two-sided conversations. Woohoo!

My 4 year old is an incredible master builder with his lego sets - and this afternoon we spent almost 3 hours playing games - card games, board games - it was a perfect day of fun with him!
