Life with two? So far, so good... This summer has really blown by. August already? AMK is now sleeping up to 6 hours per night and has really been packing on the poundage. She now weighs in over 13 pounds, nearly double her birth weight. Quite the little chunker! This pleases me to no end since ESK was such a skinny little thing most of her short life.
ESK on the other hand has been getting long and lean. Her arms are little sticks. Tan little sticks. Seems no matter how much sunscreen I slather on, she tans. We've been working on her potty training lately. It's a work in progress. We've gotten her all kinds of potty equipment, potty literature, bribes, etc. So far, she has memorized all three of her potty books, accepted all bribes, but still doesn't like sitting on the potty. We know she understands the concept. We're starting to think she just likes playing mind games with us.
ESK has come a long way when it comes to conversation. Here are a few snippets.
Daddy: Which way is better -- Daddy's way or your way?
ESK: MY WAY!
ESK (to grandma on phone): Hi Grandma! Thanks for all the Dora stuff!
(ESK did indeed recently receive a whole lot of Dora paraphernalia from grandma)
We're working on getting her to "ask nicely" and saying thank you. But most of the time, her requests are whiny. Really drives me crazy.
Otherwise, I've been feeling pretty blessed. Despite sleepless nights, enjoying the summer days and our precious little family. Looking forward to a weekend trip to Seattle (big city!) next weekend...

WOW! a trip already with two? you amaze me, mama! i'm so glad to hear that you are all doing well, and delighted to hear that AMK is sleeping 6 hours. it can only get better from here, right? :)
ESK... so funny. i've decided to wait until the babe arrives, despite feeling a bit guilty i've not done it sooner, but my little guy doesn't seem all that interested either. and whiny demands are what we've got too. was ESK really clingy and all about mommy right before the baby? he's driving bananas at times...
anyways, really glad to hear that you are all doing well.
"thanks for the dora stuff"? ha ha! i love how she's picked up on her daddy's little colloquialisms. can't wait to she your little stick and chubbster again.
send me pictures!!!!!!!!
