The Terrible 3's

I finally have a chance to write in my blog:-) It's so hard to blog especially with Madison and Mallorie.... So, I try to do the best that I can! However, Madison sometimes drives me to the edge. This almost 4 year old little girl is off the chain. Why didn't anyone tell me about the Terrible 3's? She is starting to tell me no, she says the most outrageous things, if you heard my child talk you would think she was a bit older (people that meet us for the first time usually think she is older) and that she was in school. She's a very bright little girl but her energy level is through the roof and I have to repeat myself more than I want to. I love my baby with everything in me but she drives me insane sometimes! If some of you would be honest I think at some point in time your child probably does too... Lol..... She'll even do something I told her not to do and look at me and smile, just to see if she can get away with it. Kids will drive you up the wall sometime, I don't mind it because they are kids and that's what they do. I mean I was once a child but I wasn't as active as Madison is. Sometimes I do let things slide because I know she is a child but the older she gets I have to discipline and explain to her this is not right and things she can and can not do because I don't want her acting a certain way around people. She'll be starting Pre-K in August so I want her to be well behaved. However, Madison has been a little rowdy recently and I hope she starts to calm down soon because I can only take so much:-)

I Nursed in Public

Breastfeeding has been going extremely well this go round with Baby #2... The only complaint I have is that she eats A LOT, She's always hungry and I find myself popping out my boobs more than I would like... However, Everything is going very well and I am Thankful for that b/c I wasn't able to exclusively breastfeed Madison as I hoped and I was in a lot of pain due to the sore nipples. I gave it up after 3 months. So, I nursed in public on Saturday night when we took Madison to Chuckie Cheese. I came back from playing with Maddie and the hubby was like "homegirl is hungry what are you going to do?" I brought some similac someone had given me b/c I didn't have enough to pump. I knew it would be hard to give her similac because she is an exclusively breastfeed baby and like I expected she spit it out and wouldn't take it.... So, I was like forget it! I'm not going to let my child suffer b/c I'm afraid someone is going to call the cops on me b/c I popped my boob out to feed my baby  so I got my nursing cover and fed her. I got a few stares but who cares it didn't take long and mommy & baby were happy! I'm not going to lie, I was afraid to do it... I heard it was against the law, etc. I think I might start doing it more often instead of frustrating myself trying to find somewhere to feed her and all that jazz. She hates doesn't like a bottle so a girls got to do what a girls got to do. My goal is to stop exclusively nursing her at 6 months but I think my little fat mama has some other plans.

Can you please stop yelling?

The hubby asked me that today.... I couldn't even get mad because I have a tendency of yelling when I get irritated with him and the kids. I feel like if I have to repeat myself over and over again, maybe if I yell they will hear me.

The hubby told me tonight that he doesn't want this family to yell anymore, especially the 2 of us.... He doesn't want our girls seeing us yelling at each other, and I have to agree with him. It's not something I want them to see or do in there later years. By the way my daughter (Maddie) has a tendency of talking loud as well. Majority of my family on my mom's side talk REALLY loud but most of the time we don't even realize it and it has happened to fall on my Maddie. She is a loud girl and when she cries its the worse its loud too!

I love my hubbs.... He mad a lot of sense tonight, we are total opposites and we balance each other out! I'm working on not talking loud and especially talking loud in front of the girls.... He we all have to start somewhere so tomorrow is a new day and maybe I could bring it down a notch:-)

I AM IN LOVE

with a little girl named Mallorie.... I love her so much! She is 3 months old now

She does not like her bouncy for more than 15 mins    

She's teething and sucking on her fingers now

She still doesn't have any tears when she cries

She is the happiest little baby when she's not hungry, wet, or sleepy

She pukes all the time

She does not like bottles only my nipple

She loves her binky

She's eating cereal out of a spoon

She does not like to be rocked to sleep by daddy

Her nails grow like crazy

She loves bath time

She LOVES her big sister
