wow - we've been busy lately!! and the kids are going to bed a little later which leaves less time for the blog!
malloy had her 2 1/2 year well visit at the dr. yesterday. she did great!! we had talked about what was going to happen before we went. so she stood on the scale and was just beaming because she was doing a good job. she weighed 29lbs (which is 50th percentile for weight) and was 35 inches tall (25th percentile). she was very good while the dr. looked in her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. malloy followed all of the dr.'s directions. the dr. was very impressed with malloy's verbal skills and intelligence :) even though i know she's a smartie pants, it's nice to hear from professionals! she was also very impressed that malloy's potty trained and wearing underwear to bed. she's been doing great and staying dry overnight, but has started having accidents quite frequently during the day :( i don't know what's going on or why she's regressing. we're going to start rewarding for having dry underwear every time she goes to the bathroom and see how that goes. malloy's also started hitting more. i don't know what it's about - if it's from school and she's just trying it out or what but i hate it!! she's starting to be a little more understanding with rex and tries very hard to be nice and keep calm when he's doing something she doesn't like.
rex took a few more steps today!! we were in malloy's room. he just stood up and took about 10 steps!!! he likes to do things on his own time and doesn't want to play the walking games back and forth between people. it's just a different experience than when malloy started walking! one day, she just decided it was time to walk and did! she walked up and down the hallway and all around. rex is taking his time and testing things out. we had a little one-on-one time today while malloy was at school. rex playing in the fridge while i was emptying it out and putting everything in coolers. our fridge died and i was trying to salvage what i could!
the kids are on a tail end of a cold so we've been laying low the past couple days. i'm hoping that malloy will be even better than she was today so we can go to our friend, brooke's, birthday party!!!
