17 month old DIVA!

Jaymes at 17 months is a combo of personalities it seems....she is a diva for sure, very sure of what she wants, when and how she wants it! She also can be very sweet and loving to mom and dad, she often gives hugs and kisses and will lay her head on you when you hold her. Jaymes had been doing MUCH better about the separation anxiety, until the last 2 weeks!! She seems to have regressed a little. She was doing GREAT in church and would even cry for her Sunday school teachers when we left church! Well, this last Sunday she cried pretty bad when I dropped her off in her class, so I guess she's a little anxious about that right. She is back to crying when I leave the house, or when we are running errands and Tam is driving the car, she will cry when I get out of the car!? She cries for me around family and friends again, so I don't really know whats going on with that, a phase I am sure.

Jaymes is very very mobile, was an early walker for sure (10 months) BUT she is not very verbal. She only says about 3 words (momma, da da and uh oh). I think she spends most her energy keeping up with her brother and all that he does/is into. She lets me know what she wants by pointing and such, but she just is not much of a talker? The exact opposite of Kai, he was putting 2 word phrases together at this age? Tam's mom says Tam was the exact same way when he was little, so maybe that's it?

Jaymes is sleeping great, still taking 2 naps (most days) and still INTO her Paci. I would like to cut out the Paci soon, but she def needs it to sleep. We try to only give it t her at nap and bedtime, but if she sees it out, forget it! She will cry and scream for it.

Jaymes is just a bundle of sweet and sassy, and her dad, brother and I love her to pieces!

Love

Momma

First T-ball practice

Kai has been VERY excited about Tball season....although prior to his first practice, he had no idea what that meant?! Well we had our first practice Tuesday, May 4th and he did GREAT! He paid attention, did what his coaches and his dad told him, and think he really had fun.....as soon as we left he was asking if he could play again. I think he will do really well this season! He seems to be one of the younger ones on his team, based on his birthday, but his coach made a comment about him being so tall, which for now, he definitly is. I was worried about him getting scared or timid about the whole thing, but he was smiling ear to ear the whole time. He will be playing on the Orioles, which of course we had to tell him was not the Oreos.

Here's some shots of kai in action.....first game was supposed to be May 15th, was rained out, so next Sat the 22nd will be his first game...hopefully.
