I did forget to include updates for the kids for the November post.
Andrew:
Andrew says probably in front of yes or no answers. “Do you
want a hotdog for lunch?” “Um, probably yes.”
Andrew always wants to follow the car in front of us. If the
car turns and we don’t follow he gets really whiny. “Why aren’t we following
that car!” blah. It’s actually really annoying.
11-17-11 - Andrew
didn't know I was watching him while he was playing with Bailey. He was lying on
the floor with her and telling her to play with him. Then they both sat up,
Andrew put his arm around her and hugged her and said, "You're my friend Bailey"
11-22-11 – Andrew had his first nightmare (that he told me
about). It was about a bike that had a happy face on the front and the bike was
going backwards by itself. At first I don’t know if Andrew was scared. I asked
him who was riding the bike and he said nobody. I asked who was there and Ryan,
and Andrew and Bailey and I were there. He said the bike had black wheels and
was red with a happy face on front. I stayed in bed with him for a few minutes
to try to learn all about his dream. Then we got out to play and he did NOT
like seeing his bike (which is also red and black) I told him that this bike
can’t go by itself and it doesn’t have a happy face on the front. At one point
he had to run into our bathroom to get something and the bike was in our room
and he came out screaming. He was really scared! I felt so bad for him
(although I was laughing on the inside) but this was obviously a scary dream
for him. He woke up from his nap that day scared and told me to close his
closet door so the bike doesn’t get him. He made me put his bike in the garage.
Andrew just seems to be growing up. He’s talking so well,
counting, reading, doing math. He’s just such a super smart kid. Andrew is also
super super stubborn. He is emotional and swings from high to low in a matter
of seconds. He has a temper but is also very sweet when he wants to be. He is
me. It’s sad how much of myself I see in him (all the negative aspects at
least) But he is so smart. Maybe I was smart too :)
Bailey
·
Can crawl well (when she crawls she lifts her
arms up high like she’s reaching for something. She also keeps one knee down
and one leg straight when she’s on the tile
- so her knees don’t get cold I think)
·
Can go from crawling to sitting without using
anything
·
Can pull herself to standing on furniture and
walk around while holding on to it
·
Can walk if holding your hands.
·
Mimics clapping
·
Can cruise around the furniture
·
Can stand for a couple seconds on her own
·
Starting to feed herself
·
I noticed around Nov 23 that Bailey just looks
different. I think her eyes are opening up and looking more round and less
Asian. I could be wrong though. He is a beautiful little girl and I love to see
her grow.
·
She loves to climb up and over things – usually
me or Ryan.
·
Started saying “mama” but doesn’t know what it
means yet
·
She follows me around like a little duckling! So
cute! She will pull herself up on me (or Ryan) and just look up at us with her
super cute eyes and of course we have to hold her because it goes against human
nature to do otherwise.
There ya go! Now for some videos!
Bailey crawling.
Bailey feeding herself biscuits.
Bailey clapping to music.
Bailey saying, "Mama".
Andrew and Bailey playing with the rockets. Lots of laughter :)
Typical play between Andrew and Bailey. I always worry Bailey will get hurt because Andrew plays a little rough sometimes. I guess it makes her stronger right? She loves when he plays with her.
Ryan drops Bailey on the couch. Now if we say, "One, two, three" while we're holding her over the couch or pillows, she throws herself back on her own. She's going to be our little daredevil!
The End.
