Two active children

I now have two very active children in my life...the toddler who is into everything and this baby inside me!

Acadia starts the moment she wakes up. Most toddlers have some milk when they get up. Not her! As soon as I get Acadia out of her crib (which, might I add is getting tricky), she starts pointing. The first couple times she did this I walked around the house with her trying to figure out what she wanted. Now I know...it's food. Acadia knows which cabinet her snacks are in and when she wakes up, she wants them. So I walk her over to the kitchen, she opens up the cabinet and chooses what she wants. Luckily everything is pretty healthy, though she does seem to have an addiction to Trader Joe's snickerdoodle cookies.

Then she's off to the toys. Toys in the family room, toys in her room. Books, blocks, dolls, she likes them all. It's rare that we get through a whole book with her. We'll read a couple of pages then it's off to the next one. I'm trying to teach her how to put things back before you pick something else up. Yeah, it's not working all that well.

And this baby...boy is he/she an active little thing. At 22 weeks I think I'm already having contractions. No, not those kind of contractions. These are the kind that just cause a little tightness. I remember having them with Acadia, but not until I was further along. Between all the tightness and moving around I pretty much spend most of my day back and forth to the bathroom. Hey, I have to get exercise somehow.
