Today was just plain hot!! It's terribly hard to get in the fall mood with 85+ degree days! It was a great day with all the children! Sunday night when I crawled into bed, I cherished the thought of all of them being tucked in with us in the house. Darby was in from BAMA for the night and it was just wonderful! Today, she got to hold Abigail during a mutual nap and help feed the twins lunch! She seemed to be quite entertained by watching all their latest funny ways of interacting and "talking"!
James does believe Annabelle speaks some foreign language resembling Chinese! LOL! Some words are so clear and then she has this little continual language that none of us understand! However she looks at us like we should! She has started needing every little boo boo kissed! Even if she just barely bumps her hand, she brings it to us and wants kisses. The humorous part is that she's making swaky/smacking noises as we are kissing it! I guess she's helping out with the kissing! She is still forever helping with Abigail! She tried today to get a hair bow in her hair over and over again! I had to make sure it stayed in all day to please her. Cade walked up and said, "bow" perfectly! Its one of his new words! He is really picking them up..usually one or two a week. Anything Annabelle masters, he shortly grasps.
Darby found it humorous when Annabelle went to hang out by the french doors in the den and got really still. I asked her if she knew that Annabelle was making a dirty diaper? She snickered at the funny expression on her little face! (bulging eyes, red cheeks, etc, ha ha) Anyway, Annabelle quickly finished and before she took a single step, reached down and grabbed her diaper saying, "yucky, yucky"! She wanted out of it right then! Sheez! She's such a little stinker..really!
She also now knows how the steam cleaner operates. She watched me use it today in the bedroom intently! I would tell her we needed more water and she would start saying, "wa wa" and watch me dump the old water and get new water, and really enjoyed putting her hands in the soapy water as I poured it in the machine! She watched me press every button to make it operate. I can't wait until she can actually use it! :) Her little socks were soaking wet but there was no stopping her from making every step I did! Cade sat on the bed and watched from afar while enjoying his savory thumb!
We giggled at little Cade a bit too! The more tired he gets, the more he stumbles around, barley missing impact with objects that could really hurt him. We gasped, but somehow he seemed to miss them at just the last second! He wouldn't dare stay still for fear he might fall asleep! His current favorite toy is his remote control for his ceiling fan and light! He pressed on it the other day for at least 15 minutes saying, "on, off", on, off" - his versions aren't all that clear, but you can tell that's what he's trying to say! It is really amazing how much males love a remote and how early it starts! Annabelle couldn't care less about it! He sometimes just shakes all over, smiles, and says "oh oh" as if it gives him ultimate power over the universe (which of course is his room) :) Funny little guy! The buttons on the dishwasher are a close second! Thank goodness the touch screen has a button lock, but no such luck with the fridge water dispenser. Can't wait until he can reach that. Annabelle already goes to it with her sippy cup and says wa wa, so I'm sure it wont be long!
He also decided to be brave today and get into a tug-of-war game with the yorkie, Macy! Macy has secret defenses..such as obsessive mouth kissing during which Cade just closes his eyes and mouth and hangs on! Gross! Anyway, he grabbed some clean laundry I was folding and the two of them went at it! Macy loves to shake her head back and forth with the hand towel and he belly laughs over it while trying to hold his end! She won today for sure! She really gets him when she starts licking his toes! Don't think I could take that either!
The twins played together a lot today! It's so great to hear their little giggles! Every now and then they still do want the same toy, or sippy cup, but it doesn't last long! It was hard for Darby to leave, and it makes me blue too! I'm still waiting on a text to say she made it safely....ahem, and she should've made it back by 5pm Alabama time! ( hint hint Darby)
Abigail was as sweet as ever! That baby is pure love! I can't get enough of her little pudgy legs and dimpled fingers! I just kiss on her all the time. I'm going to get in as many as I can while she's little!..okay, and probably for her whole life even when she's grown! Just ask Darby!
I have tried some baby food with her! Bless that little tongue, it is so hard to get past! She squinted horribly from the apples the other day ( as if I had stuck a sour tart in her mouth) so I switched to bananas! She still squints, but not as badly! Silly little thing! She still enjoys sitting in her exersaucer, but mostly she just wants to be where everyone is! At dinner she sits in her bouncy seat on the table so she can see everyone! She's quite content there!
Shane didn't feel all that great today, and wound up coming home form school early. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! Hate it when any of them get sick! Especially when it can mean that all of them get sick!
My poor husband drove all over for work today it sounds like! He was pooped when he got home but still somehow had enough energy to wrestle and feed the twins! Don't know how he does it after the stressful days he can have! Every part of me feels lighter when I hear him come in the door. Its as if my brain sends all these messages like, "whew, I'm not outnumbered anymore! There's hope :)! "they will be chasing him for a while" LOL!...and I might actually be able to go to the bathroom by myself! ha ha! I wouldn't trade my days for the world, but the weekends are wonderful when there are two of us to to handle it all!
I'm sure the week will be a fun one! Love to all!
