She's able to drop to the floor from the standing position and is amazing when we're out and about. She has been holding her bottle for months so it's easy to just put her in her seat, pop one in her mouth and get errands accomplished. If she falls asleep, even better. Hikes, festivals and parks keep her entertained for hours. When we're home, she's a tad difficult. She loves to follow Cole around and climb all over him. Whatever he's doing, she must be near him - Awesome, if we didn't have to be in the room too. Minute I try to wash dishes, she's hanging on the gate sobbing. Restroom? She's banging her head against the door and screaming. If I get her to sleep and she hears a peep, she's up. The girl doesn't want to miss a thing!
Thank goodness for pacifiers - She's hooked and they are all around the house. Minute she has a fit, the three of us run to find where she dropped one. She may enter Kindergarten with one in her mouth... We can only hope the mommy-daddy phase will end soon and she'll realize babies are supposed to nap.
At the end of the day, can't get too frustrated when she looks at you with those big blue eyes and crinkles that little nose!
Right after Hayden, Cole had his 3 year visit. He wasn't scared, chatted with the nurse/doctor and was game to take the hearing test. Best of all, no tears when he got his flu shot!

Like his sister, he's no longer fond of naps. If I can get him to watch a movie on the floor of his room (a.k.a trick him into falling asleep) every other day, we're golden. He's a great listener and extremely polite. If we go two days without one, watch out! The tantrums are worse than before because he thinks he can reason or call the shots. Not going to happen, little man.
As far as big brothers go, he is the best. I love when I can hear him explaining things to her... When I hear him looking out, "This is my toy. You get hurt. I get you soft one." Or when he gives her hugs and says, "Ohhhh, I love this baby." She pulls his hair and constantly has her hands in his eyes and nose. He laughs, gently tells her no and never pushes her off or retaliates. I know that will change down the road, but am very grateful he understands that she's small and different rules apply.
Lately:
When asked to clean up his toys - "Let's do teamwork!"
Wiggling Hayden's toes - "This piggy beef... This piggy beef... This piggy beef."
When I told Hayden to say sorry - "She not a talking baby."
Knows the words to 'Three Little Birds' (Bob Marley) and loves to rock out to 'Call Me Maybe' and 'Moves Like Jagger'
He's awesome.
