So Busy...
Life has been super busy in our house. We are preparing to make our move to Oklahoma in the next month, so you can imagine all the things we have been up to.
We currently have a contract on a house that we both love! After looking at, oh let's say, 50(+) houses in person, we finally found the one that feels like home and fits our family. Now we are waiting for our closing date in September so we can finally all be under the same roof again!
I have enrolled the twins into a Mother's Day Out program and I'm really excited for them to get to be around other little kids and a new environment 1 day a week. We eventually want to have them enrolled 2 days a week, but this was the only availability they had so we'll take it as a good place to start.
The twins are becoming really independent these days and are really changing. Maddox's favorite phrase is "What's that?" or "What's this?". She says that literally all day long. She has really been trying hard to communicate and gets frustrated when we can't understand what she wants (understandable). She is also still very into books and puzzles. Maddox loves to play in the water, but only on her terms (i.e. splashes from brother are not welcome) She is going through a "mommy phase" and I'm not allowed to do ANYTHING in her presence besides give her attention. This new phase makes trying to do anything difficult. If I am cooking her dinner, she pushes me away from the cabinets and crawls between my legs. If I'm snuggling with Cody, she gets in between us and pushes him away. You get the point.
Right now both of the kids have figured out the term Hot and if they touch something warm, see steam, or anything else that produces heat they both say "Hot, Hot, Hot".
Lukas has become very independent and likes to do things on his own. He loves to crawl into his high chair, stroller and car seat by himself without your help. He gets extremely frustrated if you offer your services, so we are letting him embrace this new found independence and just plan on leaving a little earlier to give him time to do it on his own! He is still all boy and I swear some days all I do is tell him "No!". He loves to climb, destroy and get into anything and everything. He loves to open the drawers in the kitchen a pull out cooking utensils and disperse them about the house. He has even opened a door one time by turning the knob (UT OH). He LOVES swimming and he is our water dog. He loves to dunk his head under water and come back up.
Thanks for checking in on us! If you get a free moment, say a prayer for our move and that we sale our house soon! Those are a couple of stressors right now that are on the top of our prayer list! I'll try to up date more frequently in the future to keep you updated on everything!
