a very wordy half birthday documentation for my memory's sake......
this girl was 1 and a half years on the 29th of december....
and this girl was 4 and a half years old on the 6th of january.....
both are lucys. both are girls. they live in the same house and have bedrooms upstairs. and that about sums up what these two sisters have in common! ha! just kidding (kind of). they both love music and they both LOVE to play in sk's room after they are dressed for bed. sk wants to share her room with hayes when hayes is old enough.
anyway, here are some things about these 2 to document...
sk at 4 and a half....
*cautious
*favorite food: quesadilla (preferably from moes)
*artsy and dramatic
*wants to be a doctor when she grows up or an actor....or a princess.
*favorite color: pink
*just learning to ride a bike with training wheels. doing well! goes very SLOW....cautious.
*loves to draw pictures and make her own art. coloring is not her favorite thing though.
*loves to pretend like she's wearing makeup. just loves to pretend in general! all day!
*loves her sister and is very patient with her and kind to her. she thinks hayes is so funny. she gets frustrated with her from time to time but not much.
*she loves school.
*she loves dressing up but doesn't have to do it every single day anymore like she did at 2 and 3.
*loves beau and bella but doesn't love ON them. she's cautious around animals but likes to talk about them.
*wears size 4 or 5.
*wears a size 9 or 10 shoe.
*sk converses in a rather proper way which is hilarious. she answers questions in complete sentences. for example, "would you like more apple?" sk: "i would." she rarely ever answers with yes or no but does now more than she has in the past.
*she is laid back and easy going about alot of things but is very particular about other things. right now she is really against any of her jackets that zip up. she wants to wear coats that button. and she gets all winey about the zip up ones.
*she can write her name well. however, she doesn't like writing anything correctly - for example, alot of times she'll put a 4th line on a capital "E" and say that she knows it's not right but it's the special way she likes doing it. or she'll say a word completely wrong even though she has zero language/speech problems and she'll say that she just likes her way better. annoying. for example, a "napkin" is ALWAYS a "wap-cume." seriously....nobody knows what she's talking about except for trey and myself! or instead of "movie" she'll say "woovie." i overheard dumbo and sk having an argument over this the other day....sk: "it's MOVIE dumbo!" dumbo: "no sissy, it's WOOVIE!" and back and forth they went.
*oh yeah, dumbo is still my 3rd child, her little brother, and has a very unique accent that i'll have to video and put on here. i don't know how to describe it. (obviously sk speaks for dumbo).
*she loves her daddy & enjoys doing special things with just him.

aside from all of that: she's very kind to others, she is sensitive, she is tenderhearted, she can come across as shy & reserved (but obviously she isn't that way at home!), she is really creative and imaginative, she sleeps pretty late, she likes being outside a lot but is perfectly content playing inside for hours, she likes movies, she likes princesses alot but is not obsessed like she once was, she loves her friends, she is obsessed with ALL of her family, she's goofy, and she's cute as a button! and those curls! she's still my curly girly - some days it looks more like a rat's nest but some days they are beautiful. she loves her hair everyday!! and she loves her freckles. and she thinks hayes is "SOOO cute!"
hayes IS cute! and she's 18 months! she's really naughty, mischievous, snuggly, needy, LOUD, talkative, coy, and smart.
*hayes is not cautious at all.
*climber
*she loves animals and wants to hug on them (beau is her favorite and hayes is beau's least favorite..ha!)
*hayes wants to be outside ALL the time. if she's inside she either wants me to be holding her or else she's into trouble (like pulling things out of our bathroom drawers or climbing on the kitchen table). she loves slides, balls, riding toys, running, swinging, etc. (likes being physical)
*she sleeps with her pacifiers but has to leave them in the crib otherwise.
*she likes to wear her winter hat and jacket....all the time. i think it's because it makes her feel like she's going to get to go outside.
*she loves school. she stands at the door and says, "cool" alot.
*she loves to go down to a neighbor's house to see the "moo." (they have a wooden cow in their yard - it holds their water hose).
*she gives kisses. she makes the MUAH (kiss) sound after she has given the kiss.
*she loves loves loves books! she loves to bring you a book and turn around and back into your lap to get ready to be read to.
*favorite book right now: goodnight moon (big time!!!! she's obsessed!)
*favorite food: scrambled eggs and cheese
*she loves shoes.
*she loves to ride her sister's tricycle which is one reason why sk has started riding her bike more - sk has a soft spot for her sis and if hayes wants to ride the trike then hayes gets to ride the trike! hayes's legs aren't long enough for her to pedal the trike just yet but as soon as they are then she'll be off! she loves to ride the plasma car (pictured above) and the cozy coupe.
*she has a big vocabulary. she can say basically anything so i can no longer really document her words or word count. she does jibber jabber quite a bit....seriously sounds like she's speaking a different language. i kind of dread the full blown sentences coming - sometimes it sounds like she's telling me right off when she gets going in her jibber jabber. she can't count yet but says the number 9 when we count the stairs. she shouts AMEN really really loud after sissy says the blessing.
*hayes has to go to time out some. she doesn't like it and if i ask her if she wants to go then she says, "NO!"
*hayes can throw a tantrum. no problems there.
*she is usually not shy or reserved
*climbed & fell out of her crib during nap time yesterday. awesome.
*wears 18 month clothes.
*shoe size: 5 - 5.5
*diaper size: 4 during the day, 5 at night.
*went through a HUGE daddy phase (like all her life basically) but is kind of a mama's girl these days.
*she dropped the sleep sack! this was sad to me. how could she not want to be zipped up in that cozy thing? i tried to keep her in it but she kept taking it off. sk would have NEVER even dreamed of unzipping her sleep sack and slept in one until she was almost 3! sk is a mini-katie....we like to be comfy cozy. sometimes if hayes is in zip up pj's she'll even take those off!! what??? why oh why would she want to do this? and when she is in regular shirt/pants pajamas then she leaves them on but takes off her socks. again....why? i cannot relate to this child. she is so very ACTIVE...again, why? she is not a homebody....again, why? she loves to see and be seen while out and about....again, WHY? ha!
*slacker mama here waited until the last minute to make her 18 month appointment so i wasn't able to get her in until later in february. she'll be 19 months by then but i'll still document her stats on here after we go.
we love our hayesie baby so much! she is so lively and makes us laugh so hard! she has a big personality and although she is naughty she is very loving. she absolutely has mischief in her sweet eyes.
happy half birthday, girls! love you both to the moon and back a million times.
