The southern heat is upon us! But tonight carried such a wonderful breeze! Chris, Cara, Sam and I have taken full advantage of the amenities our new neigborhood has to offer. My favorite thing is the nature trail. I love watching Chris be a dad, especially when he's in his element. Outside is his element. Nature, bugs, rocks, dirt...all him. So him and Cara have started taking walks through the nature trail. Mostly it's just the two of them. Tonight they let us join. She loves her Dad so much! They have their "thing" and I'm so happy to witness that. I am also so happy I don't have to do those nature walks a lot. I think Sam and I walked into three spider webs!
What else is new? Cara hit the "why" stage. Example: Cara, careful with that cup. Why? Cause you will get wet if you spill it. Why? Cause it's water and that's what it does. Why?
We could play the "why" game all day. I find myself trying to answer every why, but also find myslef doing the "because I said so" bit a lot. I am officially a parent!
Samantha's getting bigger. Rolling around, pulling up on her knees, trying to clap! Everyone thinks she's my quiet one. I'm convinced I will have no such thing!
Sam's reflux is back and forth. We have good weeks and bad weeks. But we will most likely seek a specialist. I will update when we get there. She has her two bottom teeth which popped up at 4 months and just cut her two front teeth at 6.5 months.
We just celebrated Mother's Day and I truly felt blessed to be a mother (2x) to the best children I could ask for. My eldest is peculiar, intelligent, stubborn, creative, curious and hillarious. My youngest is soft, moody, affectionate and beautiful. They complete me! Proud to be a Mommy to those two!
More to come...
