It's been awhile since my last post and it's not like I don't have anything to say, I do, it's just that I have a little 16 month old who demands all of my attention. She has become such a momma's girl it's insane. I know that I may complain now and wish I could have 5 minutes to do something without her crying and wanting me to lift her up and I know that one day it's going to stop and I may not notice it right away, that it may take some time for me to wonder "Why isn't Addi glued to my side, where could she be?" and I'll than notice that she is playing by herself and she doesn't need her mom as much anymore and at that moment I'm going to want my little girl back. You can never win and so even though I will continue to wish for just 5 minutes, I'm still going to pick up my girl and love her up because that's what she's going to remember. We're here to make memories for them. I want my girls to grow up and say I remember my mom doing this for us and it was great. I want them to be proud that I'm their mom, if it's only half of how proud I am to be their mom.
They have tested McKenna for a learning disability and even though I don't think she has it, I think it's just that she doesn't push herself hard enough. I just want to know because If I didn't ask them to test her I would never know and always wonder. I have a meeting with them on Tuesday and hopefully I will have some answers than.
Addison says a few words now. Her list is (these are words she says on a regular basis or words she has said, but doesn't say all the time).
1. mama
2. dada
3. hot
4. dog
5. hi
6. bye
7. up
I have heard her say baba this weekend for the first time. The list may not be large, but those are 7 words that McKenna never said at her age. Even though I doubt she will have a speech delay like her sister I still wonder if she will.
Yesterday Addison and I went Christmas shopping and she was fine until the end. She had a complete meltdown and started crying and screaming in the store and so my shopping fun was over. We went home and stayed. She didn't take her afternoon nap and it took a toll on her. The girl has a set of lungs on her and she is not afraid to use them. She's taking a nap now so hopefully no meltdown tonight.
She's sleeping through the night now (Thank you, God) It only took about 15 months for that to happen and I have come to learn that this child does not favor the mornings. She is the last one up now and when she does get up, leave her alone, she does not want to be bothered by anyone except that she wants to be in mom's arms. It becomes a little challenging during the week when I have to get ready for work. I try to get up earlier than her so I can be done when she wakes up, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't.
I have the next two weeks off of work and I am go going to enjoy it. I live for this time of the year. I have to get up early for just 3 of those days because McKenna still has 3 days left of school, but after that I'm sleeping in with my little one.
I'm making Christmas dinner and I've invited my sister, dad and his girlfriend over. It should be nice. I have a little more shopping to do, hopefully I can get that done this week without another meltdown.
I have to pay the tax bill for my house. I'm going to get a little over $5.00 back. YIPPEE!!
I want to do a little Christmas baking with my girls this week, also. Alot to do, but it should be fun.
That's it for now.
