We FINALLY got rid of the bottles! We have offically been one week and one day since a bottle for either of them! Max was sick and Trav had to run to the store to get milk and got whole milk from the dollar store instead of the Vitamin D milk from walmart. It upset Max's belly again just like it did when he was allergic as a baby. It took 2 blessings, 3 nights of not sleeping and 4 days of constant crying when I thought this feels like it did when he was allergic to milk. And then it donned on me! It was a different kind of milk. I told Travis I was using this a time to no longer use bottles. I told Max the bottles hurt his belly and gave him new milk in his sippy's. I put all the bottles away and whenever he would ask for a baba I told him it hurt him and gave him a sippy. Emmy only wanted the bottles because Max had the bottles so once he didn't have a bottle she didn't ask. Until 3 days in and then I told her they were gone... no more bottles. They have been using sippy's ever since. Now I need to potty train!
Emmy is talking a ton! She repeats everything you say and is very clear. She is very demanding and when she does'nt get her way is very vocal about it. She can be very sweet or very mean. She will pull Max's hair but she will also kiss him and hug him. She wants constant attention and loves to be held. Whenever Max gets attention she will encroach and try to get me to take her instead. She loves to dance. She loves Addy and Boston and will ask often where they are. She loves books. She loves her pillow. She carries it all through the house, plops it down, lays her head down and sucks her thumb in every room in every nook and cranny there is. One time Max pooped in the tub with her in it and they both had to have a shower. Ever since then she is terrified she or Max will poop it the tub. She is very girly. She loves to have her fingers and toenails painted (blue) and she loves to have her done. She will brush me or Max's hair if she can. She loves shoes! She prefers to be outside most of the time.
Max talks waaay less and is the quiet independent type. He rarely cries. He is so kind and he usually gives Emmy what she wants. If it is something he really wants he will fight for it back when she takes it. He LOVES balls! And that is an understatement. Buttball, baseball, those are about the only words he speaks. He throws a ball most all day long. He LOVES being outside. He has this sweet innocent smile that lights up any room. He is so handsome. He had his first hair cut last week. The back of his hair his literally narly. His hair is so very curly. He has the darkest eyes that slay me with the longest eyelashes you will ever see. He likes to be read to. His favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear. He will say some animal sounds. I am very concerned about his speech. He seems to want to say more, but I cannot understand what he says. He gets frustrated. He hates nursery. I am putting him in a different class than Emmy to see if that will help him at all. He runs most all time and rarely walks. His run is adorable. It is more of a fast bounce as he goes. He says shoes. He says yes. He says no. He just cant seem to put words together. Maybe with time. He used to do this adorable "Oh" face. But stopped doing that about 2 months ago. He kisses Emmy when she is sad and it is so cute. He has a very tender heart. He loves the bath. He loves remote control cars and loves when he can drive his dads. He is so GQ and handsome. He's got most of his teeth in. He hates riding in the car. And he really hates having the sun in his face. One of the only times he gets really mad!
I am so grateful for these two! They are definately a wild ride, but I wouldnt have it any other way. Each is so unique, fun, and each add so much to our family through their personalities!
