This boy loves to eat, like really really loves to eat! I can't believe how at six months old, with only two teeth he manages to mash food up with his gums and swallow it. He gets a crazy look of excitement on his face when he sees food coming towards his high chair. He immediately grabs it, and starts shovelling it in his mouth. If I take the food away, he will cry as if I have pinched him. I have a feeling our grocery bills are going to cost us a fortune when he's a teenager. 

Now if only he would sleep longer than two hours at a time. The lack of sleep is really starting to catch up to me, so I'm hoping he does some longer stretches soon. Just putting that out there Jack. 

And this little girl...oh how she makes me laugh. Her favourite thing right now is talking on the phone. If she hears the phone ring, she yells out, "I"LL GET IT!!!" And then she gets on the phone, and says, "hi, I'm good" before the person even asks how she's doing. She will tell them all about her day, and will pretty much keep talking without letting them get a word in, before we finally tell her it's time to say goodbye. I need to get a video of it, because it is just so funny.


I'm happy to report that the last two drop offs at pre school have been completley tear free. This is such a big deal for her, and I am so happy. Makes it much less stressful for mommy.


I'm trying to record some of the funny things she is saying, because otherwise I forget.

The other day she was trying to take a toy from Jack (a frequent occurrence these days). I kept telling her to stop, but she was not listening, so I used my hand to move her away to prevent her from taking the toy. She sat back, looked up at me with the biggest pout on her face, and said in the saddest voice, "Don't push me mommy, I'm just a little girl." Oh, so dramatic that one. 


Another day, I sat down to watch my soap (my guilty pleasure). Claire came up to me, and asked what I was watching. I told her I was watching the Y&R. "Oh, I don't like this one mommy, I think we should put on treehouse, Y&R is not good for my body." 


And yesterday Jack was playing with a toy and laughing at it. I could see Claire watching him laughing, and the wheels turning in her head. She could not quite understand what was so funny about this toy, so she walked up to him, put her hands on her hips, and said, "What are you laughing about Jack? What's so funny?"


I really love this age.
