This and That

Marleigh ASKED for Kade to snuggle with her on the couch the other day.  I was shocked!  She loves her little brother, but usually isn't much for cuddling with him.  He LOVES to be anywhere near his Sissy, so he was all smiles.  :)

Marleigh has had a stuffy nose for the past few days.  Yesterday morning she woke up with a slight fever, so we gave her Motrin.  After she got up from her nap, it was over 102 degrees, so to the doctor we went.  Poor little thing has strep.  She was already feeling better this morning.  Now let's hope Kade doesn't get it!

Kade is crawling all over the house now!  It is still kind of an army crawl, but he's got some speed.  He's actually pretty quick for all that weight he has to maneuver!  :)  Marleigh is less than thrilled that her brother is mobile.  A few days ago, I walked in to her taking his bink out of his mouth and saying, "Kade, I want you to pay attention.  Look at me, Kade.  Quit taking my toys.  You stay over there.  These are not toys for babies to put in their mouths.  These are my toys.    If you put that in your mouth one more time, you're going to time out.  Do you understand?"  It was incredibly hard to keep a straight face! 

Kade has a tooth!  Finally!  He's working on his other bottom front tooth, too.  I hope they all hurry up and come in.

Question for anyone that has both a son and a daughter:  Were they inherently different from the get go?  Marleigh and Kade are night and day. Marleigh was a little more reserved and timid.  Kade is ALL boy.  He knocks everything over.  Bangs anything he can get his hands on, and is just generally into everything!  :) It is so neat to see the differences in them already.  Or maybe it is the difference between a first born and a younger sibling.

I just realized that exactly two weeks from today, we leave for Las Vegas.  I know we will have so much fun watching our friends get married, but I am starting to freak out just a little bit.  I know there is no reason to.  They will be having the time or their lives at Papa and Gigi's, but I am going to miss them terribly!
