No Problems

Ok ok, I know I'm about a month late but it was so precious I had to post it! :)

You know what is a great problem to have....no problems!  I was thinking about updating my blog the other day and came to the conclusion that I had nothing to say because we currently were having no problems.  Then I realized, a lot of people blog who don't have problems!  I can blog just because I want to keep people updated, or put my thoughts down on "paper".  It doesn't have to be because something troubling is happening in our lives!
The kids are doing AMAZING!!!!  Brooks is walking.  Scratch that, he is running!  And I love it!  A lot of people told me, cherish the moments when they're not mobile, once they start moving you'll never sit still.  Honestly, I find it completely the opposite.  Now that he's walking he can get what he wants, when he wants to get it and he can entertain himself.  I have so much more free time now that he is mobile!
And McKinley is a crawling machine.  We're still working with a PT to get her to crawl appropriately but regardless, she gets around.  She keeps up with her brother quite nicely.  She walks with assistance which is extremely encouraging.  I can't wait until she can walk; I can see how frustrated she gets now wanting to do everything that her brother does.
Brooks likes to imitate almost anything you say.  Today Nana was teaching him how to say "stab it!" as he was learning to use a fork while eating lunch. :)  He says Nite nite, Milk (Mog), Sissy, Bath, Ball, Kitty, Eat, Yum Yum, Banana (nana),  Mama, Dada, Papa, Nana, Star, Wow, More, Down, Up, Nose and so much more.  I wanted to teach him sign language but I haven't needed to so far because he just tells me what he wants.  I'm really amazed by him!
McKinley is doing so awesome.  We're still trying to figure out her whole "pooping routine".  (I'm clearly going to have to hide this blog from her when she's older, she would be mortified by all of this pooping talk!!!)  She's been a bit uncomfortable lately and has been throwing up a lot and we've found basically that she's full of poop (insert funny joke here :)) So we have her on Mirilax and some other meds to get her bowels active to try to clean her out.  So needless to say, I need to buy stock in diapers.  (Check my next blog for which diapers I will be buying stock in :))  This morning I changed 4 poopy diapers in 1 hour and even got poop in my hair.  Don't ask....  All I know is the kids immediately went down for nap whether they liked it or not and I got right in the shower!
Each day I am able to enjoy and see the blessings in my life more and more.  It's been a challenging year to say the least but these two little miracles bring smiles to my face daily now! :)
