The last couple weeks have just flown by. Atticus is huge. He had his 2 month check up and is 14 1/2 lbs and almost 2 feet tall! He is still talking up a storm, but on top of that he has started laughing at himself. He will goo and then laugh like its the funniest thing in the world. I'm pretty sure he is the sweetest baby that has ever lived. Ever.
Hadley's vocabulary has taken off as well! She is starting to say actual sentences to questions or to let me know what she wants. She'll say, "no, Hadley stays in bath." or "Brudder wants hugs. aww. hugs." She is really funny. She laughs at all the right times. Last week she even said all the letters of the alphabet! So of course I went out right away and bought some buletin board letters so we can start learning what they look like.
The number three is missing from our lives. If found, please call. Hadley will say, "1...2...4!" or "1...2...4...5...6!" but 3 is no where to be found. I have tried everything to get her to say three. :) Silly girl.
We got a new puppy! Meet Grover:
We have been looking for a dog for a while now, and I just fell in love with her when we went out to look at the litter she was in. Jacob isnt as thrilled, but I know he'll come around. On the way home with her, I asked Hadley what she wanted to name her new puppy and she said "Grover." Simple as that. It surprised me because she is a big Elmo fan. But Grover fits her pretty well, as Grover is the big, goofy, always wrong muppet on Sesame Street. I'm glad Hadley isnt into Dora yet :) Grover is a really good puppy. She is half Great Dane, half Doberman (A DoberDane) Her parents were awesome with Hadley so it gives me confidence that with the right training, she will be a great dog for us. Hadley keeps walking around saying, "I'll hold her. Mon (c'mon) Grover. I'll hold her" and Grover either runs into her or runs away from her. Hadley does grab her by the neck though, so I dont really blame the dog. :) They are really adorable together though. See?:
As of this week, Jacob and I are officially done having kids. I've had a lot of people tell me that they dont know if they could handle knowing that this was their last baby, but it has changed my perspective greatly! For instance, Atticus has his first cold and Hadley has a really stuffy nose this week. Last night, Atticus was crying really hard and it woke Hadley up. Instead of being frustrated or agitated, I kept thinking, "this is the last time I will ever get to hold one of my babies this upset and this small." My thinking has changed from "have" to "get". I dont "have" to get up with them, I "get" to. Because I never will again. It does make me a little sad, but at the same time, I know this is the right choice for our family.
