Kimber is now 4 months old. She blows bubbles with her mouth, and is always such a happy baby. She jabbers a lot.She loves to watch her sister. She is getting very wiggly when you hold her. She is great to sleep most of the night most of the time. She is 27 inches long and 19 pounds 14 oz. She is kicking all of the time. She has always loved her baths, and is almost too big for the baby tub. She's a healthy growing girl. She is such a great contribution to our little family!
Madison can say ball, cat, cuP ( with a hard emphasis on the P), fish (which she says shy-ish), mama, dada, grandpa ( who really is grandMA), Go,Hi, bye, and when she blows kisses she says "buh!". She can tell us what the frog says ( croak croak) and what the Owl says ( whoooo) because of her favorite book, Animal sounds.
She is climbing on everything. Often times I find her on top of the kitchen table. She loves bathtime, and she'll lay down in the tub by herself. Her favorite foods are cheese, pasta, clemintine oranges, ANY type of candy, and chinese noodles. She gives the best hugs, and often will give them to Kimber. She no longer will hit Kimber, in fact she is very conscious of her. However, sharing toys with her is not an option. She loves to help unload the dishwasher and to help mom do the laundry. She's recently started getting into mom's makeup.
Reading books is Maddie's favorite thing to do. She will sign "again"when her book is over. Kimber also listens very well to the books. I hope this instills a lifelong love of reading in these girls.
I cannot express what a blessing it is to have you two. Often times, when the world is a cruel and scary place, even for your Mom, I can look at you two and know how loved I am. I hope I can always express how much I love you two. I know I will make mistakes, and I already have made some. You are such tiny sweet spirits. I hope that I can always be close with you girls and you will know how much your Dad and I love you. I hope that as you grow older that we can always understand each other and never be at odds. I am now recognizing the sacrifices my parents went through to raise your Uncle Jesse and I. I hope that I have learned from the good and the bad from them, and I can be a great mom to you both. I am also understanding perhaps why it took so long for you to come to me and your Dad. We need you now and I think I appreciate you now at this time in my life then I would have earlier, oddly.I have overcome much in my life, and I'm still working on myself. I hope I can teach you what I know and you can learn from my experiences. I love you girls so much.
