What has been going on..


Well because I filled out my Ballot early, Sienna(Little girl I usually watch) is not here today and because I have been up since 4:30 am, and got most of my house work done I guess I better update everyone with what we have been up too. Seth is now officially walking everywhere. He is always on a mission to get into SOMETHING! Him and Mikayla are starting to develop a really special relationship. One minute they are playing so nice and loving each other and then next Mikayla is tackling Seth to the ground and Seth is pinching her back. It is fun to watch the nice moments. The other ones make me want to pull my hair out sometimes. Mikayla is doing great. She is going to start gymnastics this month and is very excited. She has no idea what gymnastics is but she wants to do something!! In fact today we are going to go and pick out an outfit for her. Seth is starting to say some words. he talks all of the time but it is his language. Sometimes Mikayla thinks she knows what he is saying but most of the time she makes something up. Some of his words are This, Dada, Momma, and sometimes I hear Kayla when we look at pictures, and I hear him say "I got this," and " I have this" "This" is his favorite word. He uses it when he wants something and when he finds something new and wants to know what it is. Oh and he sings in the car. Well they both sing. The Beatles are still our favorite and Mikayla knows all of the words and gets mad if we sing during HER song; "Let it be".


I have started watching a new little girl her name is Sienna and she is 3 weeks older than Seth and lives right across the street. She is very different from my kids but in a good way most of the time. She is calm and waits patiently the bad part is she doesn't do very many things for herself. I am glad I do not have twin 1 year olds. They are a lot of work. It is fun for all of the kids though, Mikayla likes her because she plays babies with her and doesn't get into Mikaylas space as much as Seth. Seth likes it because he has a little friend to do everything with and she doesn't boss him around! Sienna just likes being paid attention to. Her old day care was bad they didn't wipe her face or comfort her when she cried:( So it is good for all of us!!


Billy left for Vegas for the SEMA show today (that is why I was up so early, I had to take him to the airport and then I couldn't go back to sleep). He has been working like crazy at least he has 2 days off. This last weekend was calm. We went Trick or Treating on Friday and had a lot of fun- We Trick or Treated every day for almost a week. Saturday was at the zoo, Sunday was at Elitchs, Monday was a day off. Tuesday and Thursday we went to the Library and Friday we went to our mall and our neighborhood and to Amie and Scott's for some more Trick or Treating. Wednesday we were going to go to the Children's Museum but it was crazy busy so we went to the Denver Aquarium ,which is right next door.

We had a busy October and now we have to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas!! I am so excited- if the the weather would change- It has been warm here!

Trick or treat song...

This is Mikayla's interpretation of the Trick or Treat song!!
Happy Halloween
Here are her words just in case you don't understand:
Trick or Treat
Smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
If you don't
I don't care
I'll poop in your underwear pants!
I think I like hers better! It is great for those who don't give out the good stuff:)

Oh and by the way she came up with this on her own!! No coaching:)

Walking


Seth took his first steps on his own all the way back in August. My Dad was so proud because he got to see it. He is always traveling so he doesn't get to be the first for much- so that was extra special for us all. Well we thought it would be no time before he started walking- well we were wrong. He would walk from me to Billy or from the couch to the chair but he would not walk just to walk. We went to the Dr. for his 1 year appointment and he said that he was still to top heavy! It is a running joke that Seth already has the biggest head in our family. And he was 85% for height 10% for weight and 60% for is head. That sounded like the right answer. So I have been trying to get some meat on his bones but it is almost as impossible as getting a square to fit into a circle!! The boy eats everything he can get his hands on- he eats more than I do most of the time and sometimes he eats more then Billy does. Yet he still is just tall and Skinny!!

So last Friday (9/30) he started walking just to walk. Now he is running- he falls a lot because he thinks he can keep up with Mikayla sometimes he will get back up other times he just crawls twice as fast to get caught up!! I think I am really ready for him to be walking and running- everyone says I will want to take it back- but I am just ready for our next step!
