First things first... we’ve got a smiley little girl on our hands :) I don’t know how I managed to forget just how amazing the first little gummy smile is! MELTS. YOUR. HEART. It’s amazing to see just how many differences there are between when Jaiden was a baby and Makenna. She L-O-V-E-S to have your undivided attention, and when you’re busy doing other things (ie: taking care of a toddler who ALSO will stop at nothing for undivided attention) she will let you know that she’s not entirely pleased with you at the moment. As soon as you’re back in her eye sight, her world is a better place again, and she’ll show you she’s pleased by showing off her little dimples! She’s a funny little lady who loves to keep me on my toes! Luckily she finds watching her older brother babble about to be quite entertaining, so this has been a huge help. She loves to be carried around in our Ergo Carrier (don’t know how I didn’t have this with Jaiden) and continues to love being pushed around in the stroller. I’m a busy lady, but loving every minute. I know I’m bias because they’re mine, but I honestly have the best little kiddos in the world.
One quick little update about one of Jaiden’s HORRBILE habits that he’s picked up and then it’s off to bed for me. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned before, but Jaiden has one of the weirdest/nastiest habits I’ve seen. First things first—he loves to suck his thumb. That’s obvious; I think he’s doing it in at least 50% of the pictures I take. No biggie, and if we’re being honest, I think it’s pretty cute. At some point he must’ve had a fuz/hair/SOMETHING wrapped around his finger so when he went to suck his thumb it kind of tickled his nose as he sucked his thumb. This very quickly turned into him chasing down the dogs and pulling their tails (yes, disgusting I know) until he got at least one hair lose... and then he positions it quickly between his second and third finger so that as he goes to suck his thumb it tickles his nose. Totally gross I know, and not to mention the dogs just flat out run when they see him coming. We’ve finally put an end to pulling the dog’s tail hair out... but have very quickly realized that he’s found a new substitute—HE PULLS HIS OWN HAIR OUT NOW! I’ll watch him in our video monitor, and the first thing he does in the morning is pull out his hair so he can suck his thumb. The other morning when I went in to get him, he had 37 hairs twisted around his fingers. Yes, that he pulled out of his own head!!! Needless to say, as soon as both weddings are done (my sister’s next weekend and then Kevin’s brothers July 3rd) our little man will be getting a buzz cut. I don’t know any other way to stop this habit! Such a stinker! I got a picture of him in the act the other day...
There are TONS of new pictures that I'll be uploading in the next few days, so make sure you check back periodically so you can see just how big our little babes are getting!
