Lucy Update!

Little Lucy (3 months) is growing and changing so fast!  They do at this age though.  That whole first year they change so much from week to week.  Heck even day to day sometimes! 

She is giggling now...talking or making sounds back at you...and she enteracts with you and your facial expressions!  She sure is such a sweeteheat!  Love you little Lucy!! 

Saturday Morning Secrets...

 

Molly...let me tell you a secret...I love you!

One Saturday morning I heard Megan mumbling and giggling while in the kitchen.  When I looked over I saw a precious moment of a girl and her friend.  She was talking to our yellow lab Molly and giggling.  It was so darned cute!  She loves our dogs and she is first in line to give them hugs and kisses...whether they want them or not!

Little Penguin

After Megan's bath last Sunday night she was running around like a penguin in her towel!  I should have taken a video, but I thought at least I can get a quick picture before she is off and I can't get her anymore!  Megan is hard to get a picture of.  She doesn't sit still long or cooperate at all.  She sure does love her baths!  Or baff as she says it. 

Tower of Creativness...

Megan and Lukas love to play together!  They run back and forth, play with cars, read books, and like to build things together.  The other day when I was reading I looked over and Megan and Lukas were laughing and all excited.  Well they built a tower of cooking oil, syrup, peanut butter, and coffee!  They were pretty excited! 

I love that they enjoy to play with each other!  I hope they always do!  Smart little stinkers!

Sleepy sleepy...

Ever since our time change last month both our kids have been more tired.  Lukas is having the hardest time straightening out his sleep and being tired all the time.  It was even mentioned at his conference at Preschool that he is more tired and his personality has changed some.  The picture above is from my brother.  He picks Lukas up every day after Preschool and I guess he has been more tired than he usually is.  I am going to blame it on Lukas not wanting to wind down at the end of the night to relax and fall asleep.  With it being light longer is brain is saying "dude it's not night time yet!"

Even Megan has been falling asleep on my lately.  Sometimes on Saturdays or Sundays we will be busy busy on the go and she will just tucker out and fall asleep on my lap...in the car...she is actually doing OK with bedtime though. 

Then and Now...Megan Pie

When I first had my little girl I was just busting with pride.  I don't know if it's the mother/daughter thing, but I knew she was this special little hunny ball and I felt a different connection with her.  A kinship of being female maybe...even when she was so small and little.  She was very opposite of her brother...the pregnancy was easy and I felt great.  I had a bit of morning sickness, but really I felt pretty good for the most part!  After we had her all I could do is cuddle and kiss her chubby cheeks.  I was a more relaxed momma the second time around and not too much got me riled with her.  Well when I said she was opposite of Lukas it was even evident as a little baby she was so different.  She hated sititng in a wet diaper, needed to be fed like asap or like 10 minutes ago and freak out mode was on the way (she is still this way), and sleeping was something that was like a novelty (thank goodness this is ok right now!).  She had sensitive skin so I couldn't use the same baby stuff on her skin, but I could use baby shampoo.  So I smelt her head alot...yeah I am strange like that.  I loved kissing her feet and fingers...oh and I already mentioned I loved her chubby cheeks...and still do!

 
She is only 21 months old right now...so coming up on the big 2!  She has a fiery temper all ready.  She loves and embraces almost everything she tries.  She wears her emotions on her sleeve, and she is quick to fall apart if you reprimand her.  She sings, dances, and loves "pretties" in her hair.  Dora is her favorite cartoon, and she loves to laugh and giggle and copy/chase her big brother all over!  She is a mini diva and I love her so much  When she hugs you and really gives you a big squeeze and you know that you have been hugged.  She reminds me of my Grandma when she hugged ...like she is hugging you with all she has.  Those sparkly blue eyes are always up for learning something new, and smiling at you with all her heart!  I know what's to come...preschool, friends, and fun...oh and lots more learning...but I feel that it will be different with her.  She isn't shy and jumps right into the thick of things no matter the danger (sometimes this is a little scary), unlike her brother who measures things up and observes before acting on something most of the time.  She will be a new adventure when it comes to taking those next steps her brother has taken!  Megan...I love you sweetheart...you are and will always be my little hunny ball because you are so sweet and lovable!  Oh and she smells like jellybeans lol!  Not sure how though! 
 

Then and Now...Mr. Lukas

Sometimes I like to sit and think about when my babies were actually babies.  The smells, the milestones, their growing, and relish in their littleness.  Oh how I miss my baby boy.  He was such a band new light in my life when he was born.  The pregnancy was a hard one with being sick all the time, but he was such an easy baby.  He slept well, ate well, and was always smiling.  Lukas had this wonderful baby lotion...sweet baby smell.  Cuddling with him always put my husband and I right to sleep.  He was my and is my greatest teacher of myself.  He teaches more about myself all the time. 

 

How does time move so quickly?  I told him the other day you smell like a cupcake, and he told me "wow Mom...(leaned in and smelled me) you smell like shampoo !"  LOL.  They grow and change.  It will be a honor and privilege to see him grow and learn.  Can't say that I won't cry or anything, but my heart and brain just love him so much!  I can't help it!  He constantly says things that catch my husband and I off guard and we can't help but smile or laugh!
