Anywhoo here is a post about the kids, and some cute pics too.
Presley is now 7 1/2 months old.... how the heck did this happen? I don't want a 1 year old, I want a baby. Can I just put a brick on her head to postpone this growing thing?
At her 6 month check up she weighed 14.4lbs.
One day she learned how to sit up on her own, she was loving that, loving the new view. Then another day she crawled, the next day she was in the kitchen, the bathroom, all over the house. She continues to explore, she is my little explorer. Jaimen was always content with what was in front of him, not her, she always has to travel the house to find something to put in her mouth and choke on. Jaimen never choked on anything either, within the past week Alan has pulled 2 small toys out of her throat. Time to re-babyproof, go through all of Jaimen's toys and pull out anything of harm to her. Right now as I am writing this she is having the time of her life playing with an empty milk jug :) and now she's over that and onto the next thing.
I am still breastfeeding because she refuses to take a bottle... still. Okay maybe I haven't tried as hard as I should to get her to take the bottle, but soon I will. She has become my little vampiress. She likes to bite, and then she laughs about my pain, come on that's my boob your biting! I'll tell you one thing, when she cuts her first tooth and decides to bite... I am done feeding.
Jaimen is as full of himself as he's always been, or maybe more. He is become this monster, that I, by the way, didn't ask for. I asked for a nice, respectable little boy. He used to be that nice mannered boy, then one day he woke up and decided enough is enough. He protests everything... and I mean EVERYTHING. No matter how much love or attention I show him, he seems to act out just the same and demand more attention. I am not sure if he wants me to give him negative attention or positive. He doesn't seem to respond to my positive reinforcement. At. All.
There are good days too, when he decides to have fun with the family and be nice, and its those days that I live for, its those days that I dream of when I close my eyes. Every morning I dread waking up because I don't know if I am getting Dr. Jekylle or Mr. Hyde. I pray for that good, nice boy but seem to keep getting that evil in him. My mom laughs and says that's the way I was. This is not funny to me because I did not get along with my mom, or have that great relationship with her until I moved out of her house, and that's not what I want with my son. So I am pulling all the ropes trying whatever I can to avoid this love/hate relationship with him. But fate seems to be a little stronger than I am. Any advise?
A great thing about Jaimen, when he is being nice, he is the funniest boy ever! I love his conversations with me. He is always talking, and I love what he has to talk about. Love his made up stories about whatever it may be. I love that he has a love for reading with us, he makes it so fun! He finally remembered a dream that he had the other night, and it was fun to talk about in the morning, although it was a scary dream, it was fun for me to see him remembering that. I loved remembering my dreams as a kid, they were so fun to play over in my mind.
On with the pictures...
This is when we went bowling with the family, both kids had fun, especially Jaimen.
He did so good by waiting his turn, and letting us help him with the ball. He loves bowling!
Cute kiddos!
Halloween 2009... we did good this year, on our Costumes I mean, they turned out amazing!
Jaimen was the COWARDLY lion and it fit him perfectly, this is the face he put on the entire Halloween party.
Jaimen had fun trick-or-treating this year although he wouldn't hold his bag, or say trick-or-treat... oh well many years to come for that.
So that's that. I will try to keep up on my blogging from now on. It's just been a rough rollercoaster
