So we're doing alright. Really busy with work and Ben and all the craziness that erupts in our lives seemingly every summer!
Milestones? Ben now says "thank you!" I thought I was imagining it, but I've had so many other people say something to me about it, I've come to the conclusion that he really is saying thank you. He uses it appropriately and regularly, and it is SO adorable!
Challenges? Meltdowns, tantrums, screaming, biting. I really am almost at a loss at how to handle these. I find myself getting incredibly upset and having to walk away so I don't yell at him. He is only biting when he gets upset/angry, but it REALLY hurts! He actually left a bruise on my leg from a bite Saturday.
Cute/ Funny Stories? Today while he was eating breakfast, I was sitting next to his highchair, and he stopped eating, looked at me, leaned over and made a kissing noise. So I leaned in and he gave me a kiss, then a HUGE smile, and happily resumed eating his eggs. I practically melted into a puddle right on the spot!
Milestones? PJ is up to 6 words... at least I consider them words because I can tell the difference between all of her sounds. Dog - Dah, Milk - Meh, Ball - Bah, then MomMom, Daa, and Go.
Challenges? Just the regular toddler stuff: she thinks it's funny to throw her food on the floor for the dog, she wants to grab the dog by his snout, she wants to stand on all chairs. Ugh, we're working on it. In the mean time, her sleep has gotten better. We just cut out our evening tv, giving her more food for dinner, and keeping everything darker and calm and quiet after the bath.
Funny/ Cute Stories? We were visiting with MIL's friends this past weekend, and they had a bean bag chair in the living room. PJ loved it and would walk right up and just fall right into it over and over. It was too funny to watch her do that.
QOTW- I can't really think of a question, so just PIP me a pic of your favorite man candy!
