Yippy, we have passed the 6 month mark with an infant and toddler! So, does this mean that we have survived the hardest part? Somehow I think we will always be tested. This past month has been a fun month. We went to an Aviation Museum, visited a Fire Station, and had fun playing at several fall festival farms. By far, this is definitely one of my favorite seasons. I love the anticipation of the weather turning cold, the excitement of watching the leaves turn color, and of course, all of the various fall activities that we can do with the kids. I have already taught Tucker, thanks to my brother, what it means when we get a powder day. So we better get a lot of snow this winter!!!
I know that this is sentimental mushy stuff but it needs to be said. Wednesday's rock my world. It is not just the fact that I get an ENTIRE morning to myself with Hadley (which is needed) but it is also the excitement and anticipation of what awaits me at noon. There is no greater joy then when the teacher of Tucker’s class opens the classroom door for the parents to enter and I am greeted with a happy toddler running to me with his arms wide up saying Mommy!!! I love it and each time my heart melts. It makes up for all the times that I have to hear “no, daddy do it” over and over again.
Besides the various fall festivals we attended (the hay rides being the most popular) the other 2 big events of the past month were a visit from Mimi, Pop pop and Snickers as well as talking about how Brandon’s car was rear ended. All we hear is “daddy car boom” followed by an occasional tap on the back of my car. He gets even more excited when he see’s a toy tow truck! Ut oh, does this mean we have a future tow truck driver in the family? Tucker also LOVES to see the pictures and it really is a never ending hearing about how daddy’s car went boom. Fortunately the accident was quickly followed by a visit from my parents. So now he likes to split his time talking about the accident with talk about Snickers and dog bones. Tucker got a hold of one of Snickers treats and well, you can only guess what a 2 year old did with the dog bone. Now, he will sometimes ask for a doggie treat. Jumping ahead, it was quit fitting that he was a dog for Halloween. While the visit was very short, we were able to go pick out our pumpkins with Mimi. Tucker had fun running around the pumpkin patch.
Hadley is a woman on a mission. Right at the six month mark she started to crawl coupled with her ability to get up into a push up position one have one over achieving moving lady. One of her favorite stops is next to the leather chair where she likes to scratch the leather and like her brother, when she see a cord she goes right after it. Tucker is not too sure about her increasing range since she frequently makes her way close to some of his toys that he is not willing to share. I ultimately have to remind him that none of the toys are his per say, that they are mommy and daddy toys and we are sharing them with him. So, he needs to share them with Hadley. He is not convinced.
All of this movement has been making for some rather frustrating days trying to get her to nap. She will be SOOO tired but the minute we put her in her crib all she wants to do is be on her hands and knees, be up in a push up position or recently, sitting holding onto the rail. I do love going into get her in the morning and finding her sitting next to the rail looking out and then giving me a gigantic smile.
