TWO LIL MONKEYS

HERE ARE MY TWO LIL MONKEYS AFTER DINNER ONE NIGHT! ARENT THEY THE CUTEST? 

SO THIS MORNING, I GAVE THE KIDS A BATH AS USUAL AND I WAS JUST LETTING THEM RUN AROUND IN THEIR DIAPERS UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT FOR CHURCH. WELL JAYCIE BROUGHT ME THIS SHIRT OF EMILY'S ( DONT KNOW WHERE SHE GOT IT) AND CARTER TOOK IT AND WAS TRYING TO PUT IT ON JAYCIE SO I HELPED HIM OUT AND OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO CUTE ON HER! I TIED IT IN THE BACK AND IT LOOKED LIKE A LIL PROM DRESS ! LOL ! HOW ADORABLE! A LIL MINI ME !!!

LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE MADE ME STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR. SHE WAS SO LITTLE THAT SHE WAS ALL SLUMPED OVER WHEN I PUT HER IN THE SWING!  THEY GROW UP FAST !

WE HAVE BEEN SWIMMING A LOT LATELY! EVERY DAY CARTER SAYS " MOMMA CAN WE GO SWIMMING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" ITS SO CUTE AND SO HARD NOT TO SAY YES! HE HAS LEARNED THAT IF HE SAYS PLEASE THAT MORE THAN LIKELY WE CAN DO WHATEVER HE ASKS! SO OF COURSE HE TAKES IT TO EXTREME AND SAYS PLEASE LIKE 500 TIMES! HES DEFINITELY TURNING INTO A THREE YEAR OLD AND MY MOM ALWAYS HAS TOLD ME THAT THREE IS WORST THAN TWO AND I THINK SHES RIGHT! DONT GET ME WRONG, CARTER IS SUCH A SWEET LOVING SMART KIDS BUT HES JUST STARTING TO GET THAT ATTITUDE THAT I DONT LIKE. I JUST KEEP TELLING MYSELF,ALL KIDS GO THROUGH IT, ITS JUST PART OF GROWING UP. THIS PHASE WILL BE GONE AS QUICK AS ALL THE OTHERS WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH! I CANT BELIEVE IN 6 MONTHS HE WILL BE THREE AND BE IN PRE SCHOOL. BUT I KNOW HES SOOOO READY, ITS JUST HARD TO LET GO OF MY BABY!

JAYCIE IS NOT SCARED OF ONE THING! SHE LOVES LOVES LOVES THE WATER! SHE WILL LET GO OF YOU AND SWIM BY HERSELF. SHE WILL GO UNDER WATER AND COME UP LAUGHING. SHES A MESS!!! SHE IS SOOO STRONG WILLED! IF SHE WANTS SOMETHING SHES GOING TO GET IT AND GET VERY MAD UNTIL SHE GETS IT! THINGS HAVE TO GO HER WAY OR YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW ABOUT IT! SHES STILL SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN HER OWN BED. SHES STILL NOT OFF THE BOTTLE YET WHICH IM NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT. SHES MY BABY RIGHT? SHE HAS LOTS OF TEETH NOW.  STILL WEIGHS 22 POUNDS, WHICH SHES GETTING A LIL BELLY ON HER BUT SHES GETTING VERY TALL LIKE HER BROTHER! I JUST BOUGHT HER SOME 12-18 MONTH JEANS AND THEY ARE ALREADY TOO SHORT. SHE HASNT EVEN WORN THEM YET! UGH! SHOES, SHES ALREADY OUT GROWN ALMOST ALL HER SHOES FOR THIS SUMMER TOO. SHE NOW NEEDS SIZE 6. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP MY KIDS FROM GROWING FOR A HALF A SECOND PLEASE !!!!

CARTERS FAVORITE WAY TO SWING. IT WAS LAST YEAR TOO !
