Hotdog, Hotdog, Hot diggity Dog!

Oh my daughter!

This morning as I was having my daily argument with Morgan over what she would wear to school I told her that her wanting to wear skirts every day of her life was going to make me crazy. She looks at me ever so seriously and says, "Mom, I think you already are" It was hard to stay mad. Lol She's so silly. The other day she informed me that there is a boy at school who always tells her she's pretty. But one of the other little girls told her that she couldn't love him or he would want to kiss her. She was certain she would not love a boy because she does not want them to kiss her! YES !!! I'm doing something right! lol I get so sad when I realize that she's not a baby girl anymore. She's growing up. :-( Zakry is as hyper as always. With cuts, bruises and scrapes all over his body, he's surviving day by day being his crazy little self! He goes for tubes and adnoid surgery next Tuesday. I'm really hoping it helps in alot of areas of his little body!

Uhh, I forgot I owned a blog

So, way too much to catch up on...but Morgan is as funny as always.
Quote today:
Me: "Morgan, pick your trash up off the floor"
Morgan: "Well, I was pretending the floor was a giant trashcan."

Seriously? What a little stinker.

It's been too long.

I know it has been a long time since I last posted, but here's what's new:

Zakry is definitely officially crawling. He's everywhere, and quick. The day he started crawling he also started pulling up to a stand on anything and everything. He now walks along the furniture. He did get that second bottom tooth and is now working on the top two teeth. He weighs 20 pounds and is soooo happy and healthy. :) It's wonderful.
He never sits still. Dressing him and changing diapers have become quite the task. It's funny because I know when Morgan was a baby I'd change her outfit several times sometimes at one setting because I couldn't decide what to put on her. Not with Zakry though. I best know exactly what I want him to wear because it is definitely quite the battle getting him dressed and there's no changing it once it's on him. He stands up in the middle of getting dressed and starts jumping. Night time is the worst. When he's tired he fights getting his jammies on sooo bad. It is terrible. He stays in just a diaper alot of the time when we are at home. LoL :)
He loves being outside and he loves swimming. I'm excited to take them to the fireworks this 4th of July. I'm pretty certain the loud sounds will scare him though. He gets scared of loud noises alot.
Morgan is also great. Never stops talking, but she's soooo smart. She doesn't act 2.5 and most people are shocked when they find out she's so young after having a conversation with her.
She tries to be such a good helper with Zakry. Always trying to keep him away from danger. She gets things out of his mouth that she think he might choke on. Now granted, she's pretty rough with him when trying to save him from danger that she actually ends up hurting him worse then the dangerous thing might have hurt him. LoL. She's still a great big sister though. And they love each other and that's all that matters.
I think that's pretty much all that is new for now.

Vacation and more Milestones!

Zakry got his first tooth last week. The other bottom one is about to come in any day also. He's also very very close to crawling. He can pretty much gets to whatever he wants with some determination and I'm certain any day he's going to be crawling all over the house. He gets up on all fours and rocks and scoots, but I have yet to see him actually crawl but he's getting there. Nena and Pappa said they saw him crawl for sure. So i'm sure it will be any day.
Rob and I left Saturday for vacation. The kiddos stayed with Nena and Pappa and we headed to Hannibal MO. We got to the hotel and went swimming for a bit. And then around 9pm we went driving around. We saw a cinema and decided to see a movie. We watched Angels and Demons and didn't get back to the hotel until 1am! This was definitely something that hasn't happened in a LONG time! We never get to just jump in the car like that and do whatever we want. So nice!
Sunday we went to Mark Twain Lake and Rob's uncle and aunt brought their boat up. We spent practically the whole day out on the boat. I couldn't have asked for a better day! It was so nice and relaxing. We even went tubing. I felt like a kid again! And it felt like Rob and I were just boyfriend/girlfriend again. Definitely was nice and refreshing and much needed!
My parents brought the kids up Sunday evening and we spent the next 2 days with them. Went swimming alot and sight seeing.
It was great. We are now home and I'm exhausted! :)

Milestones...

Well Zakry will be 8 months old tomorrow. It's crazy how fast time flies. When Morgan was 8 months old she was crawling all over and almost pulling up to a stand. Zakry has just mastered the whole sitting up thing and is pretty steady now. It's funny. Although he is a very hyper baby and he never wants to sit still, he hasn't been determined enough to crawl or even roll all over the floor for that matter. He can roll, but he doesn't really choose to roll to get to what he wants.
It's so funny how different him and Morgan are.
Anyway, I think that Zakry is very close to crawling. He sits on his bottom and he rocks himself until he either rocks to his belly or he rocks and scoots himself slowly across the floor. He can move several feet just by scooting on his bottom.
He also has figured out when he's laying down he can use his feet to push himself across the floor, whether he's on his back or his belly. He pushes his feet agains the floor and moves. This has all just started basically today.
So I can see crawling and walking in the very near future.
He really is a great baby. He's so fun and I really wouldn't mind it if he stayed this age forever. He's so fun and he's not into everything yet. It's great. To me it's the best age ever. :)
Morgan is at a great age too though. She listens pretty well and stays out of most things she knows she's not supposed to mess with and she's also very fun and of course is a blast to talk to. She's got the funniest things to say.
Well that's all for now.

Quote of the Day:

This quote is from a few days ago, but it was pretty funny.
Morgan was sitting in the back seat of the car and she talks to herself alot and answers herself. I heard her saying:
"One for you...okay....and one for you...okay...and one for you...okay...."
I turned around and she had a booger on each of her index fingers holding them up and talking to them! YUCK!
So funny, but so gross. I'll love to share this one with her when she's 16. HAHAHA
