She still likes her fingers, will occasionally take a binky when she's good and angry that those hands won't stay in her mouth. I'm happy she likes her thumb, but because I was a late thumb sucker, I'd rather my kids have pacifiers.
Jack is doing well. He is talking a ton more, and is putting together more and more sentences. He is still a bit garbled and pretty much anything that starts with the letter B is just called "B" (exceptions: black, brown, blue). Today, he was grabbing his diaper and saying "B! B!" And I couldn't figure out if he was telling me if he wanted to pee, or if he was saying B. he got so exasperated with me that he went to the fridge and grabbed the B magnet and said "B!" He is certainly getting better at getting his point across.
Jack is finally showing an interest in Nina. He will "help" carry her between parents (with us holding her and him supporting her bottom) and tries to entertain her. His Mickey babies give her kisses and he is constantly shouting gibberish followed by "Eeen! Eeen!" so we know he acknowledges her. He still won't sit next to her or hold her for photos. He did find her brush today, and after attempting brushing his teeth, he brushed her hair. That was adorable.
Todd and I had our first parenting without help day. I think we did okay. We went to Cracker Barrel for lunch and went grocery shopping with both kids in tow. Jack skipped his nap, but it means we are able to put him down for bed at 7:30 and he falls asleep by 8. It works, even if he is a bit ornery in the middle part of the day.
Not much else has changed. We are still falling in love with our sweet girl and trying to parent through the toddler years in our rambunctious boy. Posts will likely be sparse for a while as I get into a better routine with the kids. Check back every once in a while for photos!
