Where have I been? Bright is a crawling machine & now stands up wherever he can get a grip. Sette Sette is reasoning & talking through everything, not to mention, remembering everything including the things I've promised days ago. I cannot believe that I let this much time pass in my blogging but I do hope I can get back into it. I skipped all of October & most of November. If I could remember anything from those 2 months I will definitely share it, but it was a blur.
So here goes. I know Bright has had Croup too much & I'm not a fan. He has also blown my hopes of easy teething. We've been working on his two front top teeth for weeks & weeks, maybe since I last wrote & he shows signs of only one of those teeth possibly making it through anytime soon. He's told me in the wee hours of the night, that is all he wants for Christmas. Me too!
Sette has grown in ways I had never expected. Last night while tucking her in, she responded to my "I love you" with an "I love you so much too". This isn't the first time, but it still gets me with her warmth & hugs that accompany those words. She is constantly surprising me with her knowledge of this or that & has far surpassed my hopes for her in her second year of life.
In the midst of all the good things, she is born with that same sin nature we all have. She has found in the last 2 weeks that Bright may not be so "sweet" anymore. Jealousy had reared it's ugly head in a few random hits or pushing him down or even stealing his toys. I knew it would come, but had hoped it wouldn't be now when all he wants to do is play with her. I think she thinks she will always be the only one who gets spanks for disobeying or has to do timeout for hitting or throwing fits. I'm pretty sure she sees him as the golden child & has decided she much rather he be reminded that she is, in fact, bigger than him & suffer the consequences. I'll keep talking to her & reminding her that she is my big girl & I love her so much, but that Bright is still really little and not a big girl yet like her...I'll worry about the girl/boy talk later! KIDDING...it was just funny to write.
I hope you enjoy these pics that show just how much they have changed & grown. It really is going TOO fast!
