The Good the Bad & the Adorable

Just about the time that I get completely irritated with the girls they do something adorable! Avery is our little sweety, she wants to be a part of everything that we do. Including eat what we eat. I was eating Red Vines and Addie was eating Oreos, thus Avery is covered in both!

Now too bad that we all can't just kick back and relax in the kitchen sink! I mean after a stellar meal of Oreos and Red Vines a girl needs to chillax

Most of the time when the girls are together Addie is yelling "No Baby, NOOOO" (she doesn't share so well)! But occasionally the two play together and it pretty darn cute!

Avery is still at the age where I can pick out her clothes and head ornaments. As long as I can get them on her wiggly body she is good. She doesn't complain, argue, or pull things out of her hair! When an outfit comes together as cute as this one, it makes the battle of the wiggler worth it!

Addie on the other hand... She has just started questioning me, arguing with me and all out acting 3. She likes to pick out her own clothes and has her own ideas as to what matches. It took A LOT of convincing that the pink leggings matched and the brown ones didn't! Plus last year when I purchased the hat she refused to wear it, but now that it is to small she tries to stretch it onto her fat head! Oh and I can't seem to keep her still. She is just like Avery always wiggling, dancing, or running!

We aren't sure where she learned about baseball! But after a few trips around to the neighbors backyard we switched to golf. And after a few more trips to the neighbors (thanks Dad) I decided it was time to play on the swing set. Holy Moly Addie has an imagination. We were off to the moon and back. No worries NASA we didn't break anything, we just explored a little!

After a long trip to the moon it is always nice to kick back, relax and fall asleep on Mom!

Avery managed to sleep through a space expedition. When she woke up she was ready play. While the rest of the family was a little groggy, Avery was wide awake and ready to be independent. She wouldn't let me feed her! I tried forcing the food in her mouth, I tried sneaking it in, I tried everything! She had to eat it by herself and do it her way!

Having 2 independent girls is sometimes a little hard on good ol Mom. However the sweet moments make it all worth it! My favorite times of the day are in the morning when we snuggle together in bed and watch shows (keeping Avery on one side, Addie on the other) and at night when Addie insists that I "nuggle" before she goes to sleep. During that time we tell all the Dinosaurs to leave her alone, and we put on our 3 layers of lip gloss. Those late night potty trips and warning the dinosaurs are all worth it! One gummy smile, a "thanks Mom, your the best" and a "wuve you" are a Moms magic eraser!
