Timmy was in the bathroom saying mmmmyummy 😳 so I ran to see what in the bathroom could be so appetizing. There he was picking dried up toothpaste out of the sink and sticking in his mouth.

Not my finest mom moment. I added the bathroom to my to do list so now it’s squeaky clean and free of any “snacks.”

In other bathroom news Gracie is peeing on the potty every time Timmy does. I’m still too lazy to start potty training although it seems like she’s doing it herself. Timmy says his poop looks like snakes and hisses at the toilet. We spend so much time in the bathroom I’m thinking I need a chair in there. Timmy is obsessed with “peeing like a daddy” which just means peeling standing up. It’s really cute when he says it.

Look Mom! We are birds!

It is the tiniest mini pony BUT it is a pony!!!

Timmy rubbed Aunt Sam’s not so smooth legs and said ooo they bite! 😂

Gracie yelled I Love You to me this morning. 😍

When Grace was getting her shots, Timmy got up on the table and rubbed her head the whole time saying, “it’s ok Gracie.” 😍

We were singing in the car and Timmy stopped and said look mommy my feet are singing. They were swaying back and forth 😂

And on a gross note.. Timmy was going potty and says it looks like pirates. 😝

You know that crazy mom jumping up and down and making crazy sounds attempting to get her kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time? I used to be her.. Jusssst kidding I’m still her 😂

I need some new go to sounds because these kids are not responding to pleas to get a good picture.

This is the best I got today.

Me and a Grace had a heart to heart about bow wearing. She definitely heard me out because that bow stayed in all day.

Today was eye opening for me. It was the first time Grace didn’t sit in my lap at Storytime, she didn’t want to sit with me at the mall play area and she didn’t cry when I dropped her off at the gym kids club.

Today Grace grew up.

Everytime I go to the library Storytime I beg her to go play with the other kids and at the gym I pray she doesn’t cry for me.. Well now that’s it’s actually happening I’m like hold up wait a minute! Where is my baby girl? She is officially a toddler. I love watching her act like one of the big kids and I smile but I’m a little bit sad.

Soooo I’m a little behind on my kids well check ups. Grace will be 18 months in 2 weeks but this was technically her 15 month checkup and Timmy was 3 in December but hmm here we are.

Timmy weighed 38 pound and he’s 40 inches. That’s 2 inches in one month! He’s been totally obsessed with growing bigger, eating me out of house and home and asking me to measure him everyday. Well it worked! All I hear in my mind is MORE Disney rides!!!

He’s on track with everything else. He talked so much to Every. Single. Person. The doctor asked me if he was in daycare because his language and social skills were so good.

Now poor Grace. Feeling a little subpar in the mommy department with Gracie’s report. She’s only 20 pounds 13 ounces which is third percentile. The dr isn’t too concerned but they are gonna watch it. She’s 33 1/2 inches tall and in the 90th percentile! She’s on her 3rd week of an ear infection and 4th round of antibiotics. Seems like nothing is helping her get better. Then the worst part is she’s anemic. So we are really focusing on her diet and she’s on an iron supplement. She really eats good but in the tiniest amounts. I don’t know how to increase her appetite other than to quit breastfeeding but I don’t think Grace will go for it. Once this ear infection clears up I think it’s time for weaning but I’ve said that a couple thousand times…

Anyways on the positive Grace shows zero signs of developmental issues and she’s a talking machine. When the doctor was leaving the room Grace waved and said byebye Doctor without any prompt from me. Her voice is the sweetest. My favorite word out of her mouth lately is thankyou.

While the rest of the world is freezing their booties off, we are over here picking strawberries in 70 degree weather. Pretty crazy.

By 4:30am Timmy was already up asking if it was time to go to Aunt Jessicas. He’s a little bit in love with her. As soon as we get to her house even Gracie starts yelling “Jessica’s house” and she’s not even facing forward to see it but she just knows by the loud squeals coming from her brother.

Our kids play so nice together. Feels so old school just letting the cousins run wild in the yard while we chit chat. I crave that time with her and I can’t wait for my other sisters to start popping out some more cousins 😁.

Seeing the farm made me want to run home and start working on my own garden. Tomatoes and strawberries galore. Timmy loved it but grace stayed in the Ergo because sister was wearing a white dress and it was really muddy soooo yea.

Then we got some much needed grandma and Aunt Sam time 😍.

Well sorta.. We had a festive pretend birthday party for Timmy of course. That boy loves to hear the birthday song sang to him. Listening to Grace sing melts my heart. She has the sweetest little voice. Pretend play here has gotten pretty serious lately & I’m loving every minute of it!

What cracked me up was when Grace went to get us all some coffee. Girl knows the way to mamas heart.

Cheers Mama!

My life is complete.. Princess tea party with my little girl 😍 {&& my BIG boy}

This was so awesome. Little princess carpets with all kinds of tea sets and a large mirror with chests full of dresses, necklaces and hats. After the kids played for awhile Snow White came and read a story and sang to them. And this wasn’t just some girl in a dress, this was Disney World quality Snow White with her little voice and everything. I was impressed. At the end they served juice and cookies.

Yay for Gracie!!! She decided last night diapers were out and princess undies are in! I got distracted and next thing I know Timmy’s yelling that Gracie went potty. I was amazed. Not even 18 months and she managed to take off her panties herself and go on the little potty with no help for the first time. Genius by my standards for sure :). I’m in no rush to go head on with potty training but it’s reassuring that she is so interested in it so maybe soon.

Later that night Timmy grabbed my face and asked if I wanted a booger kiss. The good mommy that I am said yes so I was thankful that a booger kiss is just an Eskimo kiss.
