The good and the not so good...

The GOOD:
Audrey is getting so big. Here's some fun "good" things she's doing.
*She's not walking yet, but she's pulling herself up to standing and walking along all the furniture. Won't be long till she is walking.
*She loves to go outside and see all the wonders of the world.
*On Sunday during Sacrament meeting Audrey seemed to be waving at the person leading the music, I didn't think she was really waving until we were sitting in Relief Society singing and she started waving at the person conducting. Such a cutie!
*Audrey has always had a patch of hair on top that's been pretty long, well she came home from Daycare with it up in her first little ponytail.
*Daddy's taught Audrey how to give cute slobbery kisses. Love it!
*Tonight while I was playing with her, she had her binkie in her mouth and was sticking her tongue out at the same time. Such a silly one. (Sorry no pics, didn't think about it until just now).

The NOT SO GOOD:
Not that Nathan doesn't have his good moments too, he just seems to be having more not so good lately that seem to be standing out. Here's some of his "not so good" things. (Yes I know, some are kinda funny too.)
*Nathan has learned to climb the fence, he hasn't quite figured out how to climb over it but I'm sure it's not far away.
*He has figured out how to open the front gate. Just found that out last Saturday, now we have to tied the gate shut to keep him in the yard. His favorite thing to do now is run out of the yard go across the street to the neighbors to play on their slide or go up on their deck.
*Not only can he get out of the yard now, he has also figured out how to undo the baby gate at the top of the stairs and now can even unlock the door. As of now he can't get the deadbolt open, but again I'm sure that's something he'll be doing soon too. Then to figure out a new way to keep him in the house.
*He's also been known lately to run a lap or two around the congregation during Sacrament meeting. At least the bishop and everyone else are laughing :)
*****
Since Nathan has reached 3 and I am now hoping the terrible 2's will end soon, except for I'm not sure I'm ready for these terrible 3's. The funny thing is that his teacher daycare told us when he was a baby that since he was so mellow that he'd be a piece of cake now...not so much. Audrey so far has been even more mellow then Nathan was...I'm wondering what we have in store for us with her.

My sister in law had the same problem with her daughters-getting out of the house. They ended up putting a lock at the top of the door that they couldn't reach. It was the kind that are in hotel rooms.

Palmer was always a good happy baby, but lately... I think he's hitting the terrible ones. Seriously, he is already throwing huge trantrums and taking kids toys at the gym.

Oh yes the terrible threes! It makes two year olds seem so sweet. Just remember that when they turn four and five they won't let you hug and kiss them as much, so get all the snuggling in while you can!
