Tell us about your older kids!

Kendrav4 · April 2014

We all talk about out little buns in the oven so I thought it would be fun to know a little about your older kids! Tell us their name (if you choose) age and a fun fact or 2 about them!

I have a 6 year old daughter born in May! She is in first grade and we are currently deciding on whether to skip her to third grade next year or not. She has done taekwondo for the last 3 years and is a junior level 3 green belt!

My second child is a 2 year old boy who was born in October! He is all boy and is completely fearless of anything except animals! He is absolutely terrified of any animal that is not our dog. Needless to say he HATES the zoo.

My third is also a boy and he was born in Nov. He is 16 months old and refuses to walk. He walked for about 2 weeks and just stopped one day, and has refused ever since.

JJsMum · April 2014

I have 2 boys.

Jonathan is 3 and is excelling at his Montessori school. We had him in a regular preschool, but had to pull him when he was complaining of being bored (backed up by the provider). He is my shy guy and loves to watch other kids play, but is too overwhelmed by them to join in. He is a sensitive soul who loves to take care of his younger brother and is a total help around the house!

Si is 14 months and is already my bruiser (we call him a bulldog). He is afraid of nothing and lets nothing get in his way, except for the fact that, as of right now, he lacks the ability to walk

Should be interesting to see how they interact as they get older. Right now Si adores his older brother, but is totally an instigator. The common refrain in our house right now is "Ow! Baby don't hurt me!" (from J) which makes DH and I start singing the song, to which J gets mad and tells us it isn't funny. Si agrees with DH and I and giggles the entire time.

persephonerose · April 2014

My son is 16m and he is also fearless. He has so much energy and right now I just want to sleep. I feel bad that I am not a fun mom right now. He also loves to be outside and I wish we had some shade in our backyard so I could set him up a play ground. It is too hot in Texass to be outside without shade.

jenndub · April 2014

Emma is 8 and she's awesome. She plays soccer and does dance and gymnastics. She's a little smarty and loves to read. She is also the shortest girl in her class and has amazing style.

Beckett is 6 and the sweetest guy ever. He adores his sisters and Emma is his best friend. He loves to play baseball and soccer. He wears rain boots almost every single day.

Sawyer is 18 months and has the hair of a 4 year old. She starts toddler gymnastics on Monday, it will be adorable. She loves to kick soccer balls and climb on every damn thing. She loves her big brother and big sister and runs to hug them the second they get home from school.

jesslinnn · April 2014

Jack is 3.5 and currently obsessed with superheroes. He was Spider-man for Halloween and wore his costume every single day for almost 2 months. He played soccer and basketball this past year. He has a little baby doll, her name is Jack. He's been extra attentive to her ever since he found out I was pregnant. It's seriously the cutest thing to see him take care of his baby. He really wants this LO to be a sister.

Charlie is 19 months, he's a beast! He loves following Jack around and does whatever he does but he's also very independent and likes to play on his own. He loves avocados. He's the best little dancer, it's hilarious how into the music he gets. Before finally saying "mama" he said dad, football, Spiderman, and red bird... Little stinker!

AppleGrapeMSTK · April 2014

KristaLynn is 10. DH was dating her mom ages ago when Bio-Mom overdosed. Bio-Dad is in and out of prison. DH just decided to take Kristal home one day, and the grandma totally let him. He's been raising her since she was 9mo. We only officially got legal custody in June when we moved out of state. It's a shorter story to just say that she's adopted. Kristal has the bottom 5 inches of her hair dyed purple because I said she could.

Theodore is 2 and loves everything. He makes the funniest expressions. He has a kitchen set that he loves, and a baby doll that goes with him everywhere. Theo is also obsessed with my hair- he kisses it, brushes it, and holds it while he tries to fall asleep.

TinyTRex321 · April 2014

Elliot is 16 months old and into everything. He is always climbing something or exploring. I started him a tumblr page with all his antics. He loves to play on his ride on truck and be outside.

bayhunter6 · April 2014

Madeline will be two in June. She's a Mama's girl and goes everywhere with me. She loves animals, especially dogs, and adores being outside. We just moved and finally have a big yard for her to play in and she would spend all day outside if she could.

colacrock · April 2014

I have two boys

Jackson is 4 and is one of the funniest kids I know. He asked me out on a date shortly before his 4th birthday and I shed a few tears because he is so sweet to his mama. He was born in December 09' and is one of my biggest fans and is always pushing me to be a little better.

Remington is my sunshine. He wakes up happy and grinning every morning and keeps that happiness up all throughout the day. He was born in July 12'.He says nightly prayers that go like this: "Heavny Fodder ... tank you ... amen!" And then he claps his hands because he's so excited the prayer is over, lol.

I'm so excited to meet my newest little one and see his/her little personality grow.

MrsRoy07 · April 2014

My Eviebean is going to be three at the end of this month (waaah!), and she is a little fireball.

She's the sweetest girl you'll ever meet, she wants to be everyone's friend and is very generous with affection. She comforts ppl and makes them laugh and is a great snuggler. She's also pretty sassy these days- she's recently learned how to talk back which is giving daddy and I a run for our money. Her favorite thing to say right now when she's not getting her way is "I'm in charge!"

We go to a Mommy and Me dance class and she LOVES it. She wants to be a ballerina- and she's pretty good for her age!

She also loves all things girl, including tutus, tiaras, baby dolls, and princesses- especially Frozen!! She's going to be an amazing big sister, she's so sweet with little babies. I can't wait... and I'm tearing up too

Sofia2529 · April 2014

I have two boys.

My oldest is 11 and in 6th grade. He's a natural when it comes to sports and enjoys math. He's more reserved, like me, and has a very laid back personality. We definitely have a unique bond since, for the first few years of his life, it was just the two of us. I was still a teen when he was born and in a certain sense, we grew up together.

My youngest is six and in first grade. He's a chatterbox who always has a ton of energy and constantly makes me laugh. He's also incredibly curious about the world and loves science. Whenever he finds a topic that interests him, he immerses himself into it so it's really fun to see how much he enjoys learning.

megaroo64 · April 2014

Bennett (or Beans) is almost 10 months old! He is seriously a wonder baby. He is very very laid back and just kind of goes with the flow about everything. He is very close to walking right now and just recently said his first word - CAT! My husband and I are convinced that we are going to be in for a rude awakening when this second kiddo gets here!

trisharenee0316 · April 2014

My daughter just turned 15 months old, but she's a big kid so people often think she's 2 years old. She's a very social kid, despite not being in daycare or otherwise around kids very often (or perhaps because of it?). She's a major ham and loves people paying attention to her and making new "friends" at the grocery store by just waving to and smiling at strangers. She's been in swim lessons since 6 months old and loves being in the water. She seems to have the palette of an adult, and it trips people out to see a little girl love to eat fish and Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. But that's her. She's such an awesome kid, I almost feel like she has spoiled us as parents. We're so lucky to have our little sweet ball of sunshine.

CheesyPeas · April 2014

DS is 2.5 and a little peanut (about 5th percentile). He loves animals, being outside, playing his ukulele, and cleaning. I'm not sure where the cleaning thing comes from exactly because we're far from neat freaks but DS is obsessed with spay bottles, vacuums, brooms, etc. and has been for half of his life. He's a mama's boy, a huge sweetheart, and one of the most dramatic little boys I've ever met. And I'm so lucky I get to call him mine.

LEP424 · April 2014

Brady will be 16 months next Friday. He's very mild mannered and a sweet boy who loves to play. Our little guy loves to play with the dogs, balls and the contents of the kitchen cabinets. We currently participate in swimming lessons, music class, MOM's Club, gymnastics play group and are in the midst of Early Intervention screening for a language delay. I'm looking forward to Brady being a big brother, he'll be a wonderful model

mbcgirlie14 · April 2014

Nicholas just turned 2 in March. He is FULL of endless energy. He loves to be outside and is a great at throwing a ball, kicking a soccer ball and hitting the tee ball. He knows no strangers. He loves to say hi to everyone.
He has zero interest in potty training but we are hoping that changes soon.

sjb2419 · April 2014

Cameron is 10 months old. He likes to clap, play with socks, and do baby yoga (he gets in the downward facing dog position numerous times a day. Quite humorous). His favorite words are "dada" and "dah-zee" (daisy, the dog). He likes to chase Daisy's tail and flap her ears. He's trying to walk, as he lets go of furniture to see how long he can balance. he's a huge flirt. He will stare at people in public with a huge smile until they pay attention to him... Then he gives them the "eyes." He is so much fun, seriously, I didn't know i would have so much fun with a little one. I can't wait to see him as a big bro.

live4thegiraffe · April 2014

I have a 2 yo named Evelyn. She loves Curious George, coloring, and her books. She has a ton of hair and always has, and she's a strong-willed little kid. She loves to be outside. She's loving this warmer weather.

Ravenbaby · April 2014

Hudson just turned 3 and is the joy of my life. He is incredibly sweet, sensitive and entertaining. He is obsessed with pirates and would wear his costume everyday if we let him. He is also obsessed with Mary Poppins. He wears his fedora and has a chimney sweep and does the chim chiminee dance all the time. He recently met Mary Poppins at Disney World and was completely smitten!

manateeliz · April 2014

Nick is just about to be 21 months. He was a little delayed with speech, but is talking up a storm right now and I love his little voice. He is obsessed with cars, trucks, trains, and above all buses, and is almost always carrying one of the above around. He loves to play outside and go for walks and Bean, our pug, is easily his best friend.

Duder · April 2014

Hadley will be 20 months in a few days. She is obsessed with animals and being outside, and she just started to really enjoy going on walks with us, actually walking and not in the stroller, which is so fun. She is a passionate little lady - very sweet and cuddly and gentle at times, and other times she is a total firecracker and can be very feisty. She keeps me on my toes! She also is trying and learning so many words every day. We can tell she's going to be quite the chatterbox

pinkshades05 · April 2014

Natalie just turned 2 in February and she is quite the personality! I always said she was opinionated, even in the womb, and she has proven herself. She is a picky eater, must always have a stuffed animal in hand whenever we go somewhere, and believes clothes to be optional. I love the way she runs around singing in her microphone thanks to Bubble Guppies and listening to her adorable voice as she learns how to talk. While sometimes she drives me insane, most days I could just cuddle her all day. She is just wonderful!

meggiev123 · April 2014

Vivian is 14 months old and full of personality. She loves people and completely bi-passed the stranger danger phase. She is an adventurous eater (at a yr she was eating goat cheese) and is obsessed with books (see below). Right now she's being raised bi-lingual (we speak solely English to her and the nanny solely Russian) and so far her words are a mix of russian and english. Unfortunately the russian word for "give me" is "die" so we may get some strange looks when we're back stateside.

She is also currently engaged in a playground romance with the son of a diplomat who our nanny says is very handsome, but a bit of a whiner.

ETA to add picture

mer313131 · April 2014

I have one daughter, Emily Iris. She is 20 months old. She's a little ham, always trying to make us laugh and loves being silly. She's starting to test the waters with us, like running away when we try to out her shoes on or purposely grabbing things she's not allowed to have and run away with them.

ashie0610 · April 2014

Such a great idea!

My little guy is 21 months and the past few months he has become such a big boy. I can't believe what an amazing boy he is already. I am such a proud mama! He started talking seemingly out of nowhere one day and now speaks like a three-year-old per his teachers at daycare. He can sing the ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle perfectly. We have little conversations now and he is constantly asking me, "What's that?" and repeating back whatever it is I tell him. He loves to play outside, jump on the bed, wave 'hi' to random people, and read stories. He is truly the light of my life.

keenkamsmom · April 2014

I also have 2 boys.

Keenan is 10 and loves to read, play video games and enjoys tech gadgets of all kinds. He is a computer/electronics whiz and a total mama's boy. Love him to pieces.

Kameron is 8 and loves super heroes, drawing and being outside. We're awaiting spring in Wisconsin which is not coming today since we're expecting yet another snow storm to start this afternoon. He is my mischevious one but I wouldnt have him any other way. Love my boys!

msturgeon11 · April 2014

My first baby has turned into a little man suddenly. Owen will be 4 in May. He is all about super heroes and legitimately believes he IS Batman and when he's not Batman, he's Bruce Wayne. He is super smart, has never met a stranger, NEVER stops talking (like ever), and is a weird mix of both my hub and I. He is currently taking swimming lessons and starts t-ball in a few weeks. He's our world!

Staciefacie · April 2014

My baby girl is going to be 4 in August. Her name is Lillian Mae. My husband is not her bio-dad but no one can tell by the way they act together. He came into our lives when she was 9 months. I truly believe that he fell in love with her and not me. Anyways, she is amazing and always active. She started talking at 11 months at first it was little baby language but with in a few months she was completely understandable. She has an amazing vocabulary and people are always amazed when I tell them how old she is. She started walking at 9 months. Right now I can hardly keep up with her. She loves animals and the outdoors. If she sees a cow she's going to moo at it. If you're new to her, she's going to be shy at first after she warms up to you, you're going to have a little duck following you all day. Oh and she is a pawpaw's girl all the way.

meganschneider · April 2014

I have two boys, both born in October,and number three is due in October. My oldest son is 2 1/2 and has classic phenylketonuria (PKU). He's a super sweet train loving little man! My youngest son is 1 1/2 and is rowdy as can be. He climbs everything. He keeps me on my toes. I won't know until May what sex #3 is. Maybe a girl this time.

rellicdragon · April 2014

I have a daughter Aaliyah who will be 21 months in 3 days. She looks exactly like I did when I was a baby and according to my mom and my sister she acts exactly like me too. Currently she is obsessed with purses, and makeup, loves to dance, and is already becoming a drama queen.

kmwills · April 2014

Ainsley will be 4 in June, and she's such a girly-girl (which is funny because I never was). She's all about princesses and dresses, and she loves to sing and dance. She also loves to go swimming, like her Daddy. Last summer, she'd just jump right into the pool and go under water - I had to be careful and always be ready to catch her, because she can't swim on her own yet.

Her stuffed Kitty goes everywhere with her, and she has a huge imagination, pretending to be different characters all the time (I can't keep up with who she "is" from day to day!). She's slow to warm up to new people or situations and is pretty quiet in groups. She has a boyfriend at pre-school - a little boy named Landon asked me if he could marry her. She said that he asked her one day if she would marry him, and she said yes...so there you have it!

reneenearl · April 2014

I have a 2 year old son named Chase. He is just so amazing! He gives me so many smiles, hugs, and kisses every day. He loves fish and it's soothing
To him to watch the fish swim around. Chase has a strong personality. He is sure to let you know when he is happy, angry, or mad. He finally stopped waking up 5-7 times a night about a month ago. Yay sleep!

Chase doesn't talk yet and has some fine and gross motor skill delays. He scores very low in social/emotional and adaptive. He also has sensory processing disorder. He has speech, OT, and a special education teacher in our home every week through early intervention and his pediatrician just referred him for a developmental evaluation. None of this slows Chase down!

fireflyrebirth · April 2014

I love this thread x1000. Thanks for sharing, ladies! It's so beautiful how much in love you all are with your awesome kids.

AndyPants519 · April 2014

I have a 10 month old named Andrew (Andy). He makes every day worth getting up for. He loves to sit and play with pretty much anything not designated to be a toy for him (remote control, iphone, magazines). We call him Silent Bob because he doesn't talk. He babbled da-da about 2 months ago, and nothing since, but his expressions say a lot. He is starting to try to pull himself up, and can army crawl like a pro. He is the love of my life, and will be such a great big brother.

megsandjohn · April 2014

Gavin is 5 and a half (not just 5!) and just got his first myoelectric prosthetic arm this week. He is doing so well with it! He calls it his robot arm because the hand opens and closes when he engages certain muscles. He plays hockey and is in swimming. Having one hand doesn't slow him down at all

Eden just turned 3 and copies everything her brother does. She just started ballet and is also in swimming. She is in the phase of picking out her own clothes and I love her combinations. Today she went to daycare in a Rapunzel dress-up dress with big puffy sleeves and I just went with it!

They are both excited about having a new baby brother or sister.

lrobi13 · April 2014

Such a sweet thread. Thanks for sharing!

jesomethingblue · April 2014

Love reading about all your kiddos!
I have one 8 month old son named Jude. My babies will only be 14 months apart--excited and terrified of that. Jude is crawling and is in a fussy stage right now. He's realizing that he doesn't like when I leave the room, and as sweet as that was at first, it's just about hit the exhausting point now haha. He fights sleep to the end of the earth but he's a super happy baby otherwise, always smiling and easy to make laugh. He's just the sweetest little guy

Eelyak2 · April 2014

My Hudson is 2. He is super into pirates and all things cowboys right now. Most days if you ask him what is name is, he will actually say "Cowboy Husson" and it makes me die, everytime! He was born at 28 weeks but is doing fantastic developmentally. We still have speech therapy twice a month but everytime she comes back she is so impressed with his improvement. His only "delay" is growth, at 29 months he is only 19lbs. Most people don't actually believe me when I tell them how old he is. We do mommy and me gymnastics once and week and he loves it! He has amazing upper body strength. He is obsessed with his cousins (6 girls, 1 boy) and REALLY wants the baby to be a sister! I am pretty excited to see him be a big brother!!

msmoose511 · April 2014

Gabriel is about to turn 4 on May 11th, he is really into ninja turtles--like really into them. There isn't a day that he is any wearing some sort of turtle gear at some point. He really wanted another sibling but since this pregnancy started, he's been acting out quite a bit. When asked if he wants a brother or sister he says, brother. When I ask him of he would be sad if he has another sister he says, "I not be sad momma, I cry" awww lol poor guy is a bit tired of his sister tormenting him.

Kellie will be two on May 3rd. She is my spit fire diva daughter. She goes from zero to 90 in a matter of a second. While she can be sweet she is all girl and drama follows her everywhere. She loves baby dolls and Minnie Mouse, and always wants to wear dress because she's "a pincess" aka princess. Haha
