Catching up....again!!!

I don't know why I'm having a hard time blogging lately. It's almost Christmas and I still haven't posted about Halloween!! I think it's because uploading pictures on here is kind of a pain. So...instead of doing a picture post, I'm just going to write some thoughts on here to try to get myself back into it!!

Mr. Aiden has been so fun!! His personality is just adorable. He truly is growing into a sweet little boy. He gives these looks that always cracks us up and he is so sensitive. If you give him a stern voice, he sticks his lips out and gets all watery eyed and even puts himself in timeout. There is nothing more adorable than a one year old with his nose in the corner. What's even funnier is that I haven't even put him there before. He just started putting himself there. I guess he must have seen someone else have to go to timeout:) He loves his sisters and wants to play with them all the time.....especially outside! Aiden is always getting into things and half of our ornaments are off the tree or now broken:) He loves looking at the lights and decorations that people have outside of their houses. When he sees a house decorated, he will get all excited and point to it. He won't sit in his high chair anymore which truly bugs me especially when there is something really messy for dinner. I would really like to fix that but don't know how. Aiden does this adorable little dance that is kind of like a skip. He will do that whenever any music comes on...even commercials:) He also loves to watch his Daddy when he is working on something. He gets his head in there to check it all out like he is figuring out how to do it and loves playing with his little drill. He only has a little bit of hair still but I don't mind because he still looks like a baby and other kids his age look so much older. So I don't mind keeping my baby a baby a little longer:) About a month ago, we put him in the other nursery class so he can have that experience without his Mommy (since his Mommy is in nursery) and I can't believe how well he did!! He is a great sleeper and I love how he just cuddles up to me when I sing him his songs before I put him down. I truly enjoy those few minutes before bed. I just rub his cute little head as we rock and sing. Aiden is such a joy and so fun!!

Ms. Jordyn is just an adorable little girl. She is getting older but still has that cute baby face with the double chin. She has eyes that you can just stare into and melt and has beautiful curly hair. It's actually getting longer but doesn't look like it with her curls. She is my dark haired beauty. She was always dark from birth and never lightened up at all!! I love it. She is my shy girl. She tends to stay pretty close to her Mommy unless she really knows the person. Jor also gets that "I won't look up and won't talk" look. She will even do that to some family:) She loves to play with figurines and plays by herself so well. She does really well with her preschool and I love how well she is doing with her letters and numbers. I think listening to Makenna sing her school songs helps ALOT!!! She can count to 100 by 5's because Makenna kept singing it. She can write her name and her siblings names and loves to do her "homework". She makes me copy pages with her letters so she can practice. She is going to start Kindergarten this next school year and I was concerned that she wouldn't be ready (especially since she is going to still be 4 when she starts) but I'm not concerned at all now. She is ready to go now and is probably going to be better than the older kids! Jordyn loves to play with her big sister (even though they fight over the same toys constantly) and loves to play with all of her friends. I adore this sweet girl!!

Ms. Makenna is my big girl!! I can't believe how much she has grown. She was a blonde but is gradually getting darker and darker. Her curls are also getting a lot looser as she gets older. I'm trying to find new fun ways to fix her hair. She is such a big helper and loves being the second Mommy. She likes to be in charge and usually tells her siblings and friends what they should do or play with. I'm trying to get her to let other kids pick what they want to play but they don't usually mind. I think she will just be a great leader. She is more like her Daddy in that way and also with how outgoing she is. Makenna is about a head taller than all of her classmates and has HUGE feet!! She is a very sensitive little girl. She can get her feelings hurt very easily and gets upset if someone else is upset. The other day she was crying because her teacher was upset. She also cries at some shows even though I tell her it's not real. She is one smart cookie and does really well in school! She has almost all A's except one B in math and it's almost an A.....one percentage point off! She was having a hard time with subtraction but has figured that out now! Makenna is definitely a lover. She loves to cuddle and always wants me to do "feel good" (rubbing her arms or legs) and loves to be sung to. I love this loving girl!!
