Holiday Craziness and the Unpredictable Toddler


Alex will be entering the phase notoriously known as the "terrible twos" in about 3 months. We all know that. And anyone who has children knows why this lovely stage of childhood development gets the famous title. We have seen signs of "terrible two" coming for quite awhile now though, and I am here to say, the terrible twos could be extended to include pretty much all of toddlerhood, starting with about 12 Months. So with all of the craziness lately surrounding Thanksgiving and preparing for Christmas, Alex has been a little crazy with a capital C. Throw in a brand new baby sister, and you get some interesting moments around here. He has generally been much better than we expected with the addition of Amaya to our family, but with all of the traveling lately and shopping and decorating, we have had our share of more tantrums and break downs than usual. We attempted to get Christmas pictures done today, and we're grateful to get one of Alex with the family. After that he was done, and w expected that would happen, so we didn't push. Thus we have Christmas pics of Amaya, but none of Alex. LOL. Oh well..there's always next year, though some have said age 3 is worse than age 2..oh boy.


Amaya's First Holiday--Thanksgiving! She is posing with the foam turkey her brother made at daycare! :)



Alex posing in front of our Christmas tree



Amaya relaxing in her bouncer..her due date was Sunday. Instead, she turned 3 weeks old on Saturday!



Alex's first carousel ride with Daddy at Festival of Trees in Timonium.



Me and Amaya (in my moby wrap). I love this thing and she seems to as well!



Giving me a silly smile before bed. He usually spends the first 15 minutes of wearing these pajamas pointing at all of thr balls and telling me what they are. LOL.
