Shayna is now 2 years old, and I can't believe it. She got to have 2 birthday parties because some members of the family were out of town. But she wasn't complaining. She still didn't understand exactly what was going on, but she enjoyed opening her presents, and playing with all her stuff. Man she is one spoiled child.
To a point, I have loved watching her grow into the beautiful little girl she is. The bad part is she's just going to keep growing. But I am looking forward to at least one of my kids being out of diapers. I definitely get my exercise everyday with the amount of trips we make upstairs to change diapers. (By the way a handy tip for mothers, I love the Diaper Genie Elite. I haven't got any pee or poo on myself disposing of a diaper since purchasing it. It's awesome.)
Sooner or later it had to happen, but Shayna is into boys, well there isn't much of a choice in my neighborhood that's all that seems to be. Our neighbors have a 3 year old boy, and a 1 year old boy, that she plays with almost everyday. We were over there a few weeks ago, and I looked over at her, she was twirling her finger through the older boys hair. She's already a flirt, I guess it just runs in the family. The boys mom and I were joking about them getting married and he said "no mom, her and Landon (the 1 year old) can get married." Shayna and Landon give each other hugs, and sometimes walk around holding hands, it's super cute.
Alexander, is a chunk, but a cute one. He loves to smile, and coo. I eat it up, it's one of the highlights of my day. Yesterday I was dropping him off at my sister-in-laws, and as I turned to put him and the car seat out, I tweaked my back. I ended up in the hospital, and needed shots. It will take me 4-6 weeks to fully recover. So it just goes to show you how big he really is, or how dumb I am at lifting.
I love being a mother everyday. I get frustrated sometimes, but then one of the kids do something unexpected, even as simple as Alex farting, and it brings a smile to my face. I am so lucky I have such a hands on, supportive husband. I don't know how people do it on their own.
