Update

My kids are precious. ;-)

Nathan is growing like a weed. We went through a couple of weeks of some major attitude; but, now that I think about it, he's been much better this last week. I don't know if I get lax on him or what, but I went through a day or two of being "military momma" and that really seemed to help him. The thing is, I really have to have a lot of energy to be military momma. ha Military momma isn't mean, just very, very on top of things AND (and this takes the most energy) has a good attitude. I guess the good attitude isn't really part of the military persona. ha It's much easier to repeat myself several times or raise my voice than it is to say things one time and give immediate consequences if I am not obeyed. I feel badly since most of my Nathan posts have something to do with discipline, but that is just where we are right now. I'm currently trying to figure out how to train him to pay attention. He does really well obeying us when no one is around, but as soon as circumstances become overly stimulating...we lose him. Then he'll start talking about something that really interests him, and he is SO STINKIN' CUTE! :-)

Pardon the loud, random piano-playing; Evan was playing random songs from a Disney piano book I got from a garage sale. ;-)

Noelle, I suppose, is growing. :-) I think she's taking after her momma's size. Dinky-dot. She still isn't walking. She can stand up on her own, and she'll sometimes crawl to the middle of the living room and stand up. She just doesn't want to move her right foot. ha Every time she takes a step it's with her left foot. She makes barking noises whenever the dogs bark. She claps. She kisses (when she wants to). She will start yelling at her daddy if he comes in the front door and doesn't appear immediately. If she's on the floor, she will start crawling quickly to wherever he is. :-) She eats like crazy and loves to make a mess. She loves pea soup, yellow squash, broccoli, potatoes, okra, egg yolk, sweet potato, her meat cubes (ground beef, onion, garlic, & liver), and most any kind of fruit. The girl just likes to eat.

Well, that's all for now!
