Naughty and Nice



NICE

Jerzi will be 4 months old this week! I can't believe it. It has gone by super fast and she is getting sweeter and cuter I feel like by the second. A few things about our sweet little girl:

-She laughs out loud now (3 months)
-She can roll over
-She has stopped screaming when we put her in her carseat. She can actually fall asleep in the car now.
-She smiles like crazy if you look at her.
-She loves attention.
-She weighs about 14 lbs.
-She still gets big "scared" eyes when Jete comes near her. (Usually because he's running at her. He loves to scare her and make her jump.)
-She's had 3 colds and 3 ear infections in her short little 4 month life.
-She loves to give us kisses/eat our faces and Jete thinks its the greatest thing ever. He sticks his face and head in hers all the time cuz "she wants to give me tisses Mommy."
-If she doesn't have her binky in her mouth, she sucks on her first knuckle.
-She loves to cuddle with Mommy to take naps. (If i actually get to lay down and take one.)
She's so sweet and we can't get enough of this girl.



She hasn't lost any of her hair, it's still dark, thick, and growing! Yes, i do love it.



Dressing her is more fun than i imagined it would be. Little girls clothes are so stinkin cute! I look forward to this every day. She is a very good girl to just lay there while i try outfits on her and mix and match stuff.




Here she is wearing her first pigtails at 3 months. (I'm sure i could have put them in before that, i felt it might be a little cruel though.)




She loves to talk. She's got a lot to say, and we love listening to her babble.
She also smiles like crazy now, but stops as soon as i go to take her picture. She must be a McArthur! This is as close to a smile as i could get. She's talking to me right here. :)



She's got loads of hair. I want to do it in all sorts of cute ways but she's too wiggly. Her 3 piggies were pretty cute and fun though.


She's got the cutest blue eyes, to go along with her brother's and Daddy's.









NAUGHTY
Very Naughty

Then there's Jeter. He's 2 1/2. Need I say more?


This happened in the amount of time it took me to get Jerzi dressed. Yep, every article of clothing out of his dresser! This is his "Aww crap, she caught me" face. I was taking a picture and sending it to Had to show him what the little punk did, and what he was missing out on. I go downstairs and find....



that Jete found my hot glue gun, plugged it in, and started shooting it. When i caught him with that, took the picture (cuz my camera was already in my hand from the last disaster) he jetted off to the bathroom, and locked himself in. By the time i grabbed a toothpick to unlock the door and come back to open it, he was letting himself out, with a funny look on his face. I scanned the bathroom real quick to look for damage. All that i saw was a new tube of toothpaste...then noticed a big ol' squeeze out of it. Minty fresh breath for Jete! :)



So another thing about Jete, he hates the cold/snow. I ask him each day if he wants to go play outside, go sledding, or build a snowman. Every time he tells me no and that he doesn't like the snow. Well one day I asked him and he finally said that he wanted to go sledding. I was super excited and we got him all bundled up. I was laughing my head off as i was dressing him cuz he looked like the kid on The Christmas Story with his snowsuit, and walked like him too. His gloves were to big and he kept telling me that they fit, but his fingers weren't in any of the finger holes. Turns out his boots are too small too. Anyways, so i finally got him all dressed and we walk out to our garage to get the sled, and as soon as we get to the garage, he says, "No, No, No, I'm done! I wanna go in."

He wasn't happy about having the wind blow on his face. HAHA


I told him to get in the sled so i could at least pull him back to the door. I got the old "talk to the hand" response.



He sat and waited by the door until i came to open it for him. All that bundling up so we could take a walk out to the garage (about 50 feet away) and back. Plus, check out that cute bummy. HAHA LOVE IT!!!

Most of the time Jete is pretty naughty. He's started telling us no (more like yelling it), doesn't go to bed good anymore, doesn't listen to us, and doesn't like when we pay attention to Jerzi and not him. It's a hard stage, but he can be pretty sweet sometimes too i guess. When Jerzi is crying he says, "Here Mommy, I'll hold her." He gives the best kisses and hugs, and tells me he loves me all the time. He tells Had that he misses him all the time, and is always trying to give Jerzi his toys. He's full of energy and is always making me laugh with the funny things he says.

We love these two little munchkins so much!

  2. Cin, Jerzi is so dang cute. I feel I'm doomed to only have boys, and I will never get to dress up a little girl. So sad. And oh Jete is the goods! I remember Aiden doing stuff like that all the time. Cruiz doesn't do a lot of getting into things, (well, besides dumping the beans out of the bean bag over and over) but he has the biggest attitude on the planet.
    Hey, are you guys going to come here on your way to Denver? It would be so fun!

  3. Just wait until he turns three, three is so disastrous they can't come up with a name for it...at least that's how it was with Damon. The older Andee got, the naughtier Damon got. All I can say is, best of luck to you.
