Precious Theo boy,

-Almost walking!  So close!  You climb up and "cruise" on everything.  You'll try standing by yourself, but once you realize what you're doing, you sit right back down.

-You weigh about 20 lbs.  You go to the doctor again in about a month.  Getting long!

-Still wearing size 12-18 month clothes and 12 month pj's. In size 4 diaper.

-Such a fast crawler.  We have to run after you to catch you!

-Laughing at EVERYTHING!  Especially your sister.  You love her so much. Last night you two were just giggling non stop.  It was so cute.

-Going down at night around 7-7:30 and getting up between 7:30-8. Occasionally taking a morning nap for about an hour, but definitely an afternoon nap for a couple hours.

-You have 7 teeth and 2 bottom molars popping in.  You've handled them pretty well.  Occasional crankiness and TONS of drooling.

-You've participated in your first VBS this week.  Mommy and Daddy are both helping out so that means you and sissy are in the nursery.  You don't mind other people holding you, but when you see mommy and daddy coming to pick you up, you crawl soo fast over to us.  We love it.

-Celebrated your second 4th of July.  You hung out with family and friends at the Jones' house.  Enjoyed time eating and getting held by anyone in sight.

-You continue sucking that thumb!  Whatever helps you kiddo.  We'll break the habit later :)

-You had your first road trip and did very well in the car and sleeping somewhere other than home.

Happy 14 months little guy!

-Mommy and Daddy

MJ Update

Madelyn has changed A LOT in the past couple months.  She is doing so many new things and developing a cute, little personality.  Becoming more determined and yes, stubborn, like her mommy.

-She moved into a toddler bed about a month ago.  The first night she got out and played for awhile.  Tim eventually put her back down around 9 and she fell to sleep.  Ever since then, she's been pretty good about staying in bed.  Not always going right to sleep, but she'll sing and talk to herself til she does.

Loving the new artwork on her wall

-Talking non-stop.  This started a couple weeks ago.  All the sudden she started repeating everything we said.  She normally calls Theo "Bubba", but she's now saying his name.  It's so cute.

-She's getting her 2 year molars in.  Which has been tons of fun..ha!  Becoming such a big girl.

-Still taking a nap in the afternoon.  Typically between 2-3 hours.  Depends on what she does in the morning.  Gets up around 8:30-9 in the morning.  Such a good sleeper....well, except on vacation!

-Potty trained during the day, still wears a diaper during nap and nighttime.  The nap diaper will probably be able to stop pretty soon.

-Does not like when she doesn't get her way.  Just like her mommy.  Her favorite words are "no" and "go".  Doesn't like sitting at stop lights or stop signs.

-Favorite TV show is still "Daniel Tigers Neighborhood" on PBS kids.

-Being such a good big sister to Theo.  She plays with him and is teaching him how to use his walker and play with all the toys.

Love you baby girl!
