These two kids are trouble I tell you! They are constantly finding trouble together. They love to play with the Christmas tree and anything else they know they aren't supposed to do.
Lucky for Wyatt he is the cutest little boy ever with a voice that melts your heart. He says the funniest things. The other day he said, "mom, when are my eyebrows going to die?" He is very interested in when things will die lately.
I feel like Hallee and I are both in survival mode right now and I don't like it. She is constantly grouchy. She is getting all four of her molars and at least three other teeth. Poor girl, her mouth is just swollen and red all over. I am on count down until her nap every day. I know this will pass and I hate feeling like I'm waiting for her to go to sleep. She is so miserable though, it is so hard to keep her happy. Here we are watching Baby Einstein. Thank goodness for Baby Einstein! She has started asking for it by name. That gives me 30 minutes of no crying!
Sometimes she eats her feet while she watches! I took her and Wyatt to the store last week and I swore I will never do it again. She screamed through the whole store and when we came home she laid on the floor screaming for a good ten minutes. I hate seeing her so miserable.
She has started raising her hand and saying, "me" when I ask questions. It is really cute. There are happy times during the day, but for the most part she just doesn't seem to feel well. I had to take Wyatt back to the doctor because his ear infection didn't go away and I had them check her ears and she was fine. The only thing I can figure is her teeth.
Caitlyn hates to see anyone upset and always tries to help out. She was good to give Wyatt a lot of attention the other night since I spend most of my time taking care of Hallee right now.
While we were out shopping the other day I took Wyatt and Hallee to the pet store because I thought it might make Hallee happy. It worked, she loved looking at all of the animals. Caitlyn and Jonah have been begging for a fish and for some reason I let Wyatt get one that day. Wyatt named her, Chip Chocolate.
We decided to try a Beta fish this time since we didn't have good luck with the gold fish. All of the kids love the fish and have fun watching her.
Sometimes when Hallee is upset I can take her to see the fish and she will calm down.
We have been reading Christmas books under the tree this year. It has been fun to see them get excited about it. The other night they set up the front room so they could play Boxcar Children. That was one of my favorite books when I was a kid and I read it to Jonah and Caitlyn and they loved it. They were cooking their food on the heater vent and everything, so cute!
Jonah started Jr. Jazz last week. I wasn't able to go watch because I was so sick. I had some nasty stomach bug that knocked me down for a couple of days. Thank goodness it was on the weekend and Keith stepped in and took over. He even took all of the kids to the ward Christmas Party. He is such a good dad. I got to repay him a couple of days later when he got the same thing. Luckily none of the kids got it. Keith said Jonah did great at basketball. He was right in there getting rebounds and being aggressive! He loves basketball and is excited to have his football coach for basketball.
