Whew, I never blog anymore. I long to get better and be more diligent, but not sure when that is actually going to happen. I have two little kiddos who require my attention ALL. OF. THE. TIME! Who am I kidding I love being their mom. They are awesome in every way (except when Kensleigh purposely knocks over her friend Oliver or smacks Mikah on the head) Okay, so maybe not all of the time...
We are doing well over in the Kim household. Kensleigh is becoming such a sweet little girl (yes, little girl-I can't believe she isn't a baby anymore) and Mikah is growing like a weed. Everyday I try and tell him to slow down but he doesn't listen.
This has been a big past 6 months for Kensleigh. She has learned to use the "big" potty, given up her paci, and sleeps in her very own big bed! Luckily, she only tried to kill me when we were potty training. At least now I know what I'm in for for the second time around. But all in all it wasn't as bad as some of the stories I hear (or at least thats what i'm telling myself). Transitioning her to her big girl bed was easy. I was prepared to leave her in her crib forever, but one night, early in Decemebr I looked at her and asked her if she wanted to sleep in her big bed or little bed-She said big bed and that was that. Giving up the beloved paci I was dreading. She only got it at nap and night time, but she LOVED that thing. I. MEAN. LOVED! But we took a trip to my parents a couple of weeks ago, I didn't take one with us and while she asked about it she went to bed there without it. When we returned home she asked about it once and I told her I didn't know where it was and again that was that. Now, before the trip to my parents I tried cutting her paci, hoping she wouldn't want it anymore. Well, that definitely didn't work out as planned. She told me it was broken went and threw in the trash then preceded to pitch a fit of scream-crying. I was weak, weak I tell you-I went, dug it out of the trash and gave it right back to her. Now she couldn't suck on it, but she wanted it nonetheless.
Mikah is growing way too fast. He is such a sweet baby. Always happy. He is now 6 months old! ( I know, i'm in denial too) But I love that he is becoming more interactive, playful, and wanting to move around and keep up with his sister. And boy can she make him laugh. They both get to just a cackling and it MELTS.MY.HEART. He currently sits up like a little gorilla, you know with his hands in front of him holding himself up, kinda hunched over. Its sweet. Then he just topples over, looks at you and smiles. Then proceeds to try and swim his way across the floor. He ends up rolling in circles across the room. He will be crawling before I know it. I'm not ready for that yet.
We have our days and our moments but all in all we are doing great. Being a mom is the hardest job but I wouldn't trade it for the world, even on the bad days and the sleep deprived days. (At least on the sleep deprived days I have my Spark to get me through!)
