Sleep

I do not know what has gotten into Dalton but he is not sleeping at night so well anymore. He wakes up crying and I go in and get him and he tells me he wants to watch cartoons. He will watch the noggin channel for like 30 minutes and go back to sleep. He has been doing this for about a week. I am hoping this passes so we can sleep all night.

Gracee can now say 5 words which are: mama, dada, papa, bubu (brother), and hey! She is growing too fast! Before I know it I am gonna have two kids running around talking all the time. Dalton now plays games with his sister. He will get on all fours and crawl around wanting Gracee to follow him, which she does. They both giggle and laugh I think they could do this all day. I love hearing them laugh. It is the sweetest sound in the world!

Crazy people

There are some weirdos out there in this world! My sister and her husband went to a concert this past week. My sister bought one of the t-shirts and decided to run to the restroom real quick. Her husband was waiting on her outside. Apparently there were some girls in the restroom with her that wanted her t-shirt. The girl punched my sister and knocked her out! My sister woke up thirty minutes later and they had dragged her in the stall! She has a bump on her head and a busted lip! She doesn't really remember much of it. Is this not the craziest thing? I am just glad these people didn't have a knife or anything. My sister gets knocked out over a t-shirt! What has the world come to?

Painting house

I am gonna write about something other than the kids today. We moved into a new house in May and we are just now getting around to painting. All the walls right now are white. I never realized what a tough decision this would be! Me and Travis went back and forth with the living room color for a month! We finally decided on a khaki color, which made the white molding kinda pop and look good. The kitchen we decided on the color faded clay which is kinda a red orangey color. Gracee's room is a bright pink and my mother in law is painting fairies and dragon flies and stuff on it. Our bedroom is gonna be sage. I cannot decide what I am gonna do in Dalton's room. I am thinking something with trucks, cars, and tractors. Its kinda what was done in his old bedroom though. I may take him to Lowes or Home Depot and let him pick out something. My luck we are gonna come home with neon orange or bright red paint. (that is his favorite colors) I will load some pictures later today of the rooms we got painted.

And she is off!

Gracee is officially crawling! It is actually funny how she started. Dalton accidentally dropped a gold fish cracker on the floor and being the food lover that she is Gracee stared it down. She hopped up on her knees and took off after that thing. She crawled like she has been doing it for months. On Friday i was lying in the floor watching her play and she crawls over to me and uses my legs and pulls her self up! So in a week she went from only rolling to crawling and pulling up. Wow I am gonna have my hands full now. :)

Dalton is saying small sentences now. He says "I do not", "I love you", "I want ____", "I bumped head". I know there are a lot more I just can't think of right now. It is just nice that he now can tell me what he wants and kinda hold a conversation with you. He is still doing great with the potty training. He wears his underwear during the day and wears a diaper at night. He has no accidents and he is starting to wake up at night to tell me he has to potty. I am a little nervous to put underwear on him at night in case he does have an accident.

The both of them are starting to kinda play together. They were in Dalton's room and Dalton would had toys to Gracee to play with. He is also doing better and not throwing his toys at her. I am loving this stage they are both in right now.

She bites!

I got the kids pictures done this past week and they turned out really good! Here is one of my favorites:

Gracee got her first tooth last week and I think another is trying to poke through. She bit me while I was nursing her today. This caught me completely off guard because she was just a sucking away and bam she clamped down and hard! It startled me and I screamed and scared her. Now every time I nurse her she bites me. I have been just taking her off and placing her on the floor. I hope she stops doing this because that sharp little tooth hurts.

Today while I was making our lunch Dalton brought his stuffed animal that is a tiger and placed it on the floor and got a baby wipe and pretended like he was changing its diaper. He said "change him." Then he throws him across the room and said he was sleepy. I thought he was being sweet then he had to go and throw the tiger. Boys will be boys!

Children

Its funny how much my kids are different. Gracee is doing nothing at all like Dalton done. Dalton never really rolled around at all. Gracee is a Roley polly! She rolls all over the room! Dalton started crawling at 7 months, Gracee has no interest in crawling yet. She would rather stand. Dalton did not get a tooth until he was over a year old, Gracee just got her first tooth the other day. Dalton was a independent baby while Gracee is attached to my hip! Dalton was a little baby always below the 20th percentile and Gracee is a chunky monkey always in the 80th to 90th percentile. That just goes to show kids are so different and develop at different rates.
