8 months going on One....

Heaven help me. Delany is standing up on everything. She is much to small to be this much trouble. She holds on to the coffee table. She stands in her crib, naps times are harder now. She holds on to the bars of the safety gate and stands. 

I can't take pictures of some of the places she has stood cause I am too busy trying to protect her from killing herself. Going up is easier than going down.

Today while we were in my Pilates room, she not only stood up on my machine but managed to climb on top of it and stand. She apparently she is ready to walk up stairs. Yikes!

She has cut her two bottom teeth. She is usually happy and a good baby. She is starting to laugh and understand teasing and playing. 

She still isn't the biggest eater. She does like bananas and eating some finger foods, like digestive crackers. I can't believe how fast she is growing up.

Play time

Carter is so fun but seems to be needing some extra love lately. Wants me to hold him all the time. one of his favorite things to ask- how was your day? So funny. 

He has started locking us out of the house. Awesome! He locked the front door and garage door and had the back door wide open for me to come in. He is a great story teller with expression and animation. He likes to make up songs. He refuses to be potty trained, I am not sure what it is going to take.

I seriously love my kids but somedays I think I need to be 10 years younger. But they sure are cute!

Florida

Jim had to come to Florida for work and we tagged along. The pool at our hotel is fabulous, not that I get to enjoy it but it has a splash pool for kids with a slide that is perfect. Carter can do it all on his own and he is getting pretty sure of himself. That is all he does, so he has gone down it around a bazillion times. Delany has been a champ rolling with sleeping on the go or where she can and hanging out in the stroller. Not all about her on this trip. Carter on the other hand is eating hot dogs everyday plus lots of other junk and I actually am not making him come back to nap. That is a BIG step for me. We are all tired and not eating great but we are having fun. I even managed to get a run in at 8:30 last night. 

They have a Lego building station, so fun.

But here is where carter is feeling like a big man and having so much fun.

Carter and I got to go to universal studios. I had no idea there were two parks  so we didn't not chose the Harry potter one but it actually probably worked out for the best. Carter gets scared easily so we hung out at the kid zone. We did ride a roller coaster and a big water raft slide. And I carried him a lot of the time so he had a wonderful time.

He loved the trampoline filled with balls.

And the bounce house.

And climbing

And the roller coaster

He is one cool kid! Love him! 

He loves curious George so this was right up his alley. Well in theory, it was a crazy water park and ball craziness so he like the idea of it.

The Simpsons ride. He was a tired boy by then and feel asleep on my lap on the bus ride home.
