Big Sister!

My wife and I learned a couple months ago that we are going to be parents...again! The thought of being parents again is very scary, especially since we have a daughter who is under 1, but I think we can do it! It'll take a lot of sleepless nights, tired mornings and days, and lots of coffee to get us through, but I think we can do it! 

I think our daughter has started to notice that something is different with her mom. When rubbing or tapping on her stomach she makes a double take these days, because her tummy is bigger than before. Now-a-days she tends to give her little kisses on her tummy whenever we're all laying and watching TV for the night (which is so cute). 

The other day my wife and I decided to tell our daughter that she is about to become a big sister soon, we asked if she were happy to become a big sister, she looked at us both, smiled then shook her head. We could do nothing but laugh, it seemed she knew what we were asking, and telling us that she was not happy because she was supposed to be the baby for a little while.

Our little lady keeps us on our toes and laughing everyday. Whether she's ready or not she's about to take that big sister role, and oh boy are we...NOT ready! lol

Stomping Grounds

While our little lady is still getting the hang of crawling (still going backwards lol) we've decided to give her walking practices now as well. My sister in law lent us a walker that is in use everyday! This little girl loves her walker, but she forgets one thing: You DO NOT have to stomp in order to move around! She has become used to the other bouncer that does not move but allows her to bounce up and down, so when she's in her walker she does the same thing lol. She stomps, and stomps, and stomps (trying to bounce) around the house, not realizing she can move forwards and backwards just by making regular quiet steps.

My wife has tried numerous times to show her and push her around in it, but I think she just enjoys stomping around the house, making all that noise that comes with each stomp. She slowly moves forward with each stomp, and lately she's been creeping forward. Going backwards is no problem, she just sits and leans back and there she rolls. 

Soon enough she'll get it, and will be zipping around the house...but for now we (along with our downstairs neighbors) have to bear with the pitter patter of little stomps around the house. 

Neglect...!!!

I must say that I apologize for neglecting this blog for so long. There has been so many things going on that I have yet to sit and write...but we'll get back on track! Please continue to read and enjoy our adventures as first time parents.
