General Updates

Kadie has been doing so many new and exciting things lately. She started crawling in January and cut tooth #3 and #4. Also since January she has lost the ability to go to sleep on her own and rarely sleeps in her crib at all anymore. In fact, she rarely sleeps anymore. In February she started pulling up on everything and signing milk. Just over the past few days she has mastered signing hi, bye, more and eat and said ball. We also figured out that she calls Harrison "Ha". She will usually crawl around yelling "Ha" when she can't find him. Super cute! She is quite loud..we thought she might be our quiet one but so far 2 for 2 on the loud factor. She is feisty, temperamental and a sweet pea. She is still nursing A LOT. I actually lose count..I just know she does it a lot. She also likes to nurse in really bizarre positions (like while trying to do a headstand). This is particularly uncomfortable for me. She is working on 4 more teeth right now and I'm really hoping they will be through soon. She LOVES to eat. She is such a tiny little peanut but this child eats non-stop. She eats more than her brother which on some days is not saying much.

Harrison has returned to his obsession of Toy Story and Buzz Lightyear especially. He goes through phases where he eats, sleeps and breathes Buzz. Quite frankly, I'm ready to toss Buzz out the window when he isn't looking. And he really likes for you to act out scenes from the movie..especially the fight scene with Buzz and Zurg (Toy Story 2). And if you don't recite it word for word he makes you start from scratch. It has really lost its appeal. His behavior (well up until this week) has drastically improved. I think we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel of this third year that no one warned me about. Potty training...most days the pee thing still goes relatively well but he still refuses to poop in the potty. *sigh* He is still super smart and amazes me with his linguistic abilities. He is also at this really fun story telling age. I love to listen to his day through his 3 year old view point. I'm really looking forward to this next year.

I am taking a small venture and I'm going to try to sell some of my tie dye creations. One of my cafe mom groups (cuties with cloth booties) is starting up a congo on hyena cart for all of the creative talent in the group. I'm going to put up a store in the congo and open up an etsy store. I'll probably put some of my hair clips and legwarmers as well. Wish me luck! I'm nervous and excited. If it doesn't turn out well, expect lots of tie dyed things for gifts this year.
