Terrible Twos
Adelaide is two and half and you can tell! She is full of energy, has been learning tons, is such a chatterbox and along the way has become quite destructive. I started a little memo page on my phone to keep track of all the things lately that she has destroyed:
My macbook screen! I left the room for one minute to dispose of a diaper after I had just done her hair. She used the brush I left at her side to quickly and thoroughly smash my screen. I still need to get it replaced, this is the reason I have not blogged in a while.
Maverick's sheets. She found Maverick sleeping in his crib while I was prepping dinner. She came back into the kitchen excited to inform me that "Maverick, head, grapejuice, ha ha ha ha" with a huge, proud grin on her face. Sweet Maverick slept through the whole thing but the small puddle of grapejuice around his head looked quite gruesome.
My parent's TV. She quickly drew with crayon all across it and back. Luckily Rick was able to get it off.
My very favorite jeans! She sneaked a little navy crayon in with a load of wash and they destroyed my rose colored stevie ankles. It is probably for the best because I was wearing them entirely too often and it was getting embarrassing.
My vintage little chair! When I was younger my parents gave my sister and I an adorable table with two chairs. She took a permanent marker to the fabric on the chair. It's okay because I was planning on reupholstering them anyways, but still... very naughty!
A dozen eggs! Adelaide opened the refrigerator with force and swiped the carton of eggs to the ground. Each one broke. It was gross cleaning that up.
I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I recorded. Now it's important to note that she is not this crazy all the time. She is so sweet and playful and cute 99% of the time, but out of no where this mischievous look washes over her face and she does something insane. I can't quite tell when it will strike or what motivates it. If I could bottle up all her energy I could seriously make millions... I have never seen anything like it. Oh how we love our crazy miss Adelaide.
Four Months
Maverick is four months! I can't believe how fast the first third of his first year has flown by. I can't get enough of him.... He is so sweet, mellow, giggly, smiley, squirmy and curious. He has been rolling over from front to back and back to front for quite some time. He can squirm his way out of the bumbo chair. He loves to eat his feet, particularly his left one. He has switched from his high squeaky voice to a lower grunt (early puberty?). He fits into 12 month clothing. He wears the same size diaper as Adelaide but still somehow (over)fills them pretty much daily. He giggles when you tickle him and loves peek-a-boo. He rarely cries but will give a little sympathy cry when Adelaide is having a meltdown. He calmly endures an abundance of hugging, kissing, squeezing and crowding from his older sister. We all just adore and love our (not-so) little Mav.
