One Week Down

I’ve got one full week of being at STAHM under my belt. Once I realized I just had to be mommy, and not super mommy, it got a lot easier. It wasn’t exactly hard before, but I took some of the pressure off of myself and just enjoyed being at home with the girls. Every once in a while I ask Isabelle if she likes mommy being at home and I get a very enthusiastic YES! so I know they are just loving it. I absolutely love getting up in the morning and seeing Kensi’s grinning face. They’ve been waking up so happy! I’ve also been working with Izzy on staying in her room at night. It’s going pretty ok, but not there yet. She’s gotten really used to the door being locked so it being unlocked and her being able to come out is still really awesome to her. Last night, Grant ended up locking the door after she had come downstairs 4 times, and by that 4th time, she was just standing on the landing out of our line of sight because she knew if we realized she was there, we’d bring her back upstairs. it’s a work in progress for sure. It’s hard to not just let her sleep in our bed so we can all go back to bed, but I’m sticking to my guns! Or at least trying to lol She’s been talking really well too so Grant and I have to make sure that we’re talking a little better too. We don’t want her growing up and talking like she never finished high school. Especially now with social media and abbreviating things or spelling things wrong. Things like “gonna” instead of “going to” and “would of” instead of “would have”… I’m big into grammar like that so it shouldn’t be too hard for me
Kensi has been such a walking demon, it’s so crazy! Once she stopped having to concentrate so hard, she just takes off! She’s been doing really well! She doesn’t need the walking toys as much, but she still uses them. We can tell she’s getting tired when she falls a lot more than she has been, then gets mad that she fell. She’s getting so big, I’m so glad I’m here to see it. Wont be too long before she’s walking as well as Izzy is. She’s starting to talk/babble more too. You can tell she’s trying to tell you something. If you’re not getting it, she’ll repeat it almost exactly as she said it before. Trying to get her to say mama or dada, but right now it’s just mamamama and dadadada so we’re close!
