Happy New Year

Funny Magical Maren

So my kids are going to kill me one day when they find out that I share all the funny, silly, gross things that they do. But I have posted about Kodi a few times some of her funnier things, well its Maren's turn. So my Mom has nicknamed her Super POOP. She seriously poops so much. I don't remember Kodi being like that. Well, the other morning I was at home with my little ones and Maren was sitting in the high chair while I cleaned the kitchen. She was super happy and then she quickly got really sad so I picked her up....and....There was poop everywhere. She had popped open the snaps on her jammies and it was all over her chair. It was down her legs, in between her toes, up her back and on her elbows. I have no idea how it got that way. Even crazier there was nothing in her diaper and it was on really good. She is my magical pooping baby. I think she has pooped on everyone in the family. I know for sure she has me, my mom, Andrew, my dad, Jeanie, Uncle Terry, Aunt Susan, Cyndi Meline, Grandma Nash and Grandma Payton, and then there are probably other she has gotten. I don't know what to do with her. She is already wearing size 4 diapers and that is the same size as Kodi. I guess she will just have to be called Super Poop for a while longer. :) (Sorry if I just grossed you out, but that is my life now.)

Maren update Dec 2011

So I was always really good about documenting Kodi but it's really hard to get all Marens landmarks typed out. At her last doctor appointment she was in the 95%in both height and weight. She is wearing size 12 months. She can roll over both ways. Back to front and front to back. She is sitting up. She loves baby food and eats as much as I will give her. She can pick up those little baby star snacks and put them in her mouth all by herself. Which I thought was pretty cool. She is growing up faster then Kodi. She now has 8 teeth and is almost weened(thank goodness). She is no longer going to work with me which is good and sad all at the same time. She is so smiley and happy. She loves me more then Andrew and always wants me when she is needing comfort. She is my little sweetheart and she brightens my day.

Kodi is still the wild woman we all know and love. She is totally to smart for my good. She is speaking in sentences. She helped me make some Christmas gifts for her grandparents. We had to paint these little wooden sticks and she did a good job. It was even real paint. She didn't even eat any.

The girls play really well together and they are always making each other laugh. Kodi loves to dance and to do ring around the rosy. So of course she wants to include Maren. Mare loves it. My little ones are great. I love being a mom!
