Yes, It's Been Awhile

I know it has been awhile, but I have been busy chasing two active children. Yes, I said chasing two. Sister has learned how to army crawl very well, and she is close to crawling with her tummy off the ground. She is into everything, literally. At my parents she is constantly going through the kitchen cabinets. Sister loves the walker, and she is fast as lightning in it. As a matter of fact her cousins and brother do not like when she is in it because she runs over their toes. She can even turn herself around in the hallway. When we are in the living room she army crawls (quite quickly) to the TV cabinet, opens the doors, and takes out everything she can get her hands on. She eats anything she sees and yes I mean everything. Today she took a nice big bite out of some blue playdough. Just when I thought I had gotten it all, I saw more blue slobber running down her chin. It took me a few minutes to get all the playdough that was stuck to the top of her mouth like peanut butter. She is so happy, funny, and full of energy. I took her to the dr. about three weeks ago b/c I thought she had an ear infection. She was finally past 17 pounds. I think she has gained weight, but I don't know how much. I take her back to the dr. on the 30th for her (get this) 9 month check up. Can you beleive she is almost 9 months old? In 3 1/2 months she will be one, and Noah will be 3!
Noah is doing great and still loves his sister. Every morning the first thing he does is ask for sister. In the car on the way to JoJo's he always look at Sister and says, "Hey there Pumpkin." He amazes me. He is now going to the three old class at church because he is potty trained. His imagination is amazing. We took him to the circus a couple of weeks ago, and he loved it. He got a sword and he thought that was the best thing. To this day he the first thing he tells people is , "I went to the circus. The tiger poop." (which he really did) or "I got new shoes." FYI his shoes are not new. He got them before Thanksgiving. He is such a mess. Anyway, I have to go do schoolwork. Hopefully after Sister's next dr. appoinment I can post some pictures.
