Well we are celebrating a birthday in the Knapp house today…..Our four legged kid Huey. He is still as happy as always (except when mom is in the kitchen cooking and the smoke alarm goes off and hurts his ears. ;)
He is still very much a puppy. Always happy and energetic.
The girls are doing great. Skyler is still crawling and not too into walking yet, which part of me is fine with so I don’t have 2 to chase but part of me wants her to walk, because is so cute when kids are learning to walk. But she is a fast crawler and she stands. She is getting more into exploring and will examine things and be complete content playing alone (sometimes she prefers t then squabbling with her sister over toys) She is a great eater, wants to eat everything we do, just like her sister she lovers her veggies and the occasional cookie. She is a happy baby and still loves to be held. She is still my monkey. She is learning a few signs and words. She knows where her belly is and head and will point to them when you ask. She ties to say words like “teeth, belly, huey, more and eat” She says “dad and mom” really well and she still squeaks when she wants something. Much like her sister she loves to be naked and doesn’t like when I get her dressed in the morning, like “hey mom I like looking at my belly, don’t put that shirt on me!” Overall she is doing great.
Valkyrie is amazing. I can’t believe sometimes how smart and aware she is. Just today we were watching a show on bugs (beetles to be specific) and they showed a lady bug and I said “look a lady bug” and she said “no mama it is a beetle.” She is so active and wants to be a big helper, a few days ago she helped me pick berries and make a pie. She speaks so well and will tell us stores and all about her day and even what she wants to do on the weekends. I love her imagination; she will make up stories with her toys and sing songs that she makes up. I love how she is so creative and imaginative. She likes to be naked as well and when we get her undressed in the morning and evening she will run through the house screaming “ I naked baby, do the naked baby dance.” At that point she dances and spanks her own butt, it is adorable. Her and I sometime have power struggles but we are doing better and leaning ways to work with each other.
She is very loving to her sister and when she hears Skyler cry from another room she will say “that’s my sister, I need to check on her” So sweet! And the big news is the toilet. She is using it more and more and most importantly she is going poop. Awesome! She finds it fun and has been going the last few days, she will even stop playing to go use it (that is huge for a kid to do)
Jeff and I are doing good. Working on the business, working on website design. If you haven’t found us on facebook, check us out Natralee.
Hope all is well, just a little update form the Knapps! (pictures will follow, camera battery is dead)
