Updates from Facebook (mostly) from the last 6 months

‎Kadence and I were grocery shopping, and she told another lady "I'm shopping with my sister Rachael." HA! Didn't quite know how to respond to that.

Korvin smelled awfully manly for a baby. I was trying to figure out why, then I realized he'd been cuddling with his daddy all night.

Korvin came unlatched, and started crying while he was nursing. Kadence (who is usually sitting next to me so she can "help") said "It's ok, you'll get it back." Once he re-latched and started nursing again she said "There you go! You got the boob back!" He has his own personal nursing cheerleader.

Korvin resembles a tiny drunk man really late at night. One night when he was a little over a month old, he finished nursing, rubbed his face back and forth a few times, belched and passed out. It made me laugh so hard I was surprised I didn't wake him up.

"You're not fat. You're previously pregnant. It's baby byproduct." Yeah Patrick...that's called "fat."

"We don't eat poop. Only food and snocones." - Kadence
Not really sure why she felt the need to tell me this.

I think Kadence might by dyslexic. . .J/K, but she wanted to write "Happy Birthday Mommy" on a picture she colored a week before my birthday. HYPAP was as far as she got. :)

"This little piggy went to market. This little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy went home. This little piggy had roast beef too. And this little piggy went 'wee wee wee' all the way home." Um. . .that's not how I remember it.

When Korvin was nearly 2 months old, Kadence rubbed his head, and then told me "He's kinda rough. In a sentimental way." ???????

It took a few days, but Patrick finally noticed that there was a playing card with a picture of fish in our fridge. Kadence put it in there. She told me she wanted fish for dinner, and I told her we didn't have any fish. . .so she put her fish card in the fridge so we would have fish. :)

K: We don't eat cows! Cows say "Moo!"
Me: Yes, we do eat cows. Then we say "Mmmm"
Kadence: Mmmm! Tasty!
Then she had a fit because she couldn't find the cow in her burger.

Kadence asked "Do you have a regular baby, or a racketized baby?" Um. . .he was legally obtained, so I guess that makes him a regular baby??

Kadence told me she was making cupcakes, and asked if I wanted chocolate, or regular. The day before she asked for a chocolate cookie, not a regular one. Apparently everything has two flavors. . .either it's chocolate, or it's not.

K: I like soda. Soda is good for you.
P: No, soda isn't good for you. It's high in sugar.
K: I like high in sugar.
P: No, it messes with your caloric intake.

K: Oh, crap.
Me: Don't say that.
K: Why not?
Me: Because it's naughty.
K: But Daddy says it!
Me: And it's very naughty of Daddy.
K: Well, then you will have to spank him when he gets home. Spank him, not me.

"I'm a Samarod. . .don't touch me!" LOL. . .she meant Samurai.

In September, Patrick was in the attic and asked KK to come ask me if Korvin is old enough for the activity center up there. I told her "Not for a few more months." She went back and told him "No freakin' donuts."

When Korvin was about 2.5 months old, I realized something. . .He really is a lot like his Uncle Natie. . .same ears, same cheek dimples, and always gets really excited when he sees himself in the mirror. :)

Korvin: grunting while trying to poop
Kadence: He's a little consummated. 

When Korvin was almost 3 months old, Kadence told him "I'm so glad you came out of mommy's tummy and got borned." ♥

On October 10th, Korvin giggled for the first time. Kadence was being silly while Patrick was taking her upstairs to go to bed, and Korvin thought it was funny. It was the cutest little giggle. :) Earlier that day, Kadence was distracting him so he wouldn't cry while he burped so he could finish eating...that morning's technique was to stand in front of him making faces, and in different tones repeating "Boobs! Nipples! Boobs! Nipples!" LOL. . .that's what he WASN'T supposed to be thinking about.

K: I'm a girl, and you're a girl, and daddy's a girl.

Me: Daddy's not a girl. 

K: You're kidding.

  

Me: Go eat your food.

K: It's hot. I feeled it.

Me: You felt it. "Feel" is when you are doing it, and "felt" is something you've already done. 

K: I folt it hot.

Kadence made me a "snack." (Legos arranged on a plate.) After I "ate" it, she asked if I liked it. I, of course, said yes. . .then she gave me an evil grin and said "It has corn syrup in it." She thinks she's so smart. . .see if I eat HER snacks again. Lol

Korvin figured out sitting up at 4.5 months.

He LOVES shopping now.

He has to be inclined when he sleeps. . .
so he put himself to sleep sitting up.

Kadence curled up against my chest and asked me to burp her like the baby. . .so I patted her back until she pretended to burp. . .then she sat up, sounded like she was hocking a loogie, and spit on my chest. When I asked why, she said "I spit up. Like the baby." We won't be playing baby anymore. Lol

Me: You need to go lie down for an hour and take a nap cause you're very tired.
K: But my eyes aren't tired. They don't want to lay down.

K: Can I go to Sonic and get a cheeseburger? Not a cow one.
P: The burger IS cow.
K: I don't want cow in it.
P: All cheeseburger have cow in them.
K: Fine. Can I have a cheese cow burger?

Picked Kadence up from her 1st day of Pre-K:
Me: What did you learn today? Did you learn about Jesus?
K: Yes.
Me: What did you learn?
K: Jesus knows what I did.
Me: What did you do?
K: Jesus knows what I did.
I can't figure out if she did something, or if that's what she learned. Lol

Kadence was upset that Grandma Patsy ate her ear shaped piece of candy. "When she gets home, I'm telling her she doesn't get ANY more candy today! It's NOT for big girls that are humongous!" I nearly died laughing. . .her vocabulary is gonna get her in trouble.

Me: Isn't he cute?
K: Yes. He's multiple times cute.

Me: Isn't he the most precious baby ever?
Kadence: I don't think so. . .but he IS very cute.

The two pirate guys on the Disney channel that sing piratey songs were singing the "cod lover" song one morning. . .Kadence then  randomly sang "hot lover" all day. Hahaha. . .I just stopped correcting her.

Korvin: drooling
Kadence: He's about to rain on me!

"Do you know how to fight bad guys Mom? I do. First we kick their bodies and make their bones come out. Then we break the bad guy's bones. . .right Mom?" ???? Is Nick Jr. teaching hand to hand combat with bad guys now? I really need to start paying attention. . .

Kadence insists that her name has an "s," so every time I write her name and she doesn't see one, she adds one to the end. Her name is now Kadences.

Kadence randomly starts patting her knees and saying "Here boy! Come on boy!" to Korvin, or "Here baby, baby, baby! Here baby baby baby!" I keep having to tell her that he's not a puppy.

I was putting Kadence to bed, and Korvin was downstairs crying (he got shots that day), so I was rushing the routine to get back to him. Instead of our normal prayers (we always pray for some friends preemie baby), I said a quick one for sweet dreams and started to leave. . .she sat up in bed and yelled "WAIT! I forgot to pray for Baby Beckett!!"

Kadence made a Build-a-Bear puppy for Korvin for his Christmas present. . .and tried to give it to him every day for about a week. Waiting for her presents? No problem. Waiting to give her baby brother the one she made him? It was driving her crazy. This was the first year she's been involved in the giving side. . .she kept wrapping things in Kleenex and giving them to me. Lol

Korvin was screaming in his bed (he screams when he's happy, and he screams when he's mad. . .can't always tell the difference), so I asked Kadence to go check on him while I finished dishes. She came back and said "That baby is having fun. He doesn't need any help."

Uncle Natie was making a roast beef sandwich after we got home from picking him up from the Airport at the beginning of December. Kadence told him "Don't eat all our food, or we'll be mad at you." Apparently, Mommy said so. Lol. . .I've never said that. . .what she's heard me say before was "Don't drink all the Vitamin Water, or I'll be mad at you." Now I'm wondering how many times I've said that, cause it's been awhile since I did. 

Kadence randomly informed me in a surprised tone "Hey, Korvin's name starts with a "K" just like mine does!" I got all excited that she figured that out by herself, and asked her what everyone else's name started with. . .she sounded out everyone's name, and gave me the correct answer. Each time, I got excited and yelled "Yay! You got it!" After awhile she said "Why do you keep doing that?" Haha. . .then she asked me "What does "Oh" start with?" I said "O." She got all excited and yelled "Yay! You got it!" LOL

We went to the grocery store, and as I was buckling Korvin into the cart, Kadence informed me she had to go potty. I said "Seriously?" and she said "Yes. Why do you always ask me that?"  I really do ask her that every time she says that when we're out. lol

I need help. . .Patrick pointed out a buffalo in a field next to where we were driving, and I yelled "I want to eat you!" at it before I thought about it. . .I had just eaten an elk burger at Twisted Root. . .apparently, my need for game meat didn't go away when Korvin was born. Guess I'm gonna need to take up hunting. 

Patrick changed Korvin's poopy diaper a little while ago. When he got to the bathroom to dump the diaper and wash it out he said "Uh-oh! I lost his poop!" I nearly died laughing. Poop was found, so no worries. 

I put Korvin in the recliner while I made a bottle for him before his nap. Kadence was rubbing his face and talking softly to him. . .then she came into the kitchen and told me "I put him to sleep. I made him close his eyes, and I put him to sleep." I didn't believe her. . .so I checked. She put him to sleep. LOL

I told KK we were going to go through her toys, and pick some to give to a family with 7 boys and girls. I told her about how their mommy died when the last baby was born a few months ago, and that their daddy can't afford to get them things for Christmas, so we were going to share some of her toys with them. Now, I'm a mean mommy that doesn't let her play with all her new toys from her birthday and/or Christmas all at once, so she still has one Polly Pocket set from her birthday that she hasn't opened and played with yet. After I told her about these other kids, she thought about it for a few seconds and said "They can have my other Polly Pocket that I haven't opened yet." I told her she didn't have to give away her new birthday presents because she had plenty of other toys to share. . .and then I went and cried. I love that little girl's ♥.

Kadence to Patrick: Give me all your money, or I'm calling the police.
Me: Honey, that's not how a robbery works.

 

Patrick put together Kadence's new toy organizer today. While putting all her toys away, she put her canteen on the bottom right hand shelf. When I told her it didn't go there, she ran to the box, pointed and said "No! The 'structions say books and a canteen go on this shelf!"

 

I told Kadence she could have some animal crackers. She brought me a package to open, and then took it back and said "Oh, this is regular (it was snickerdoodle). I only eat chocolate." Then proceeded to go rummage in the pantry for a package of chocolate. Wow.

Kadence has been begging to watch Captain America for awhile now.
Kadence: I want to watch Captain America! He saves the world.
Me: Mommy doesn't want to watch that right now
Kadence: Well, then I think you should go to your room and go to sleep.

Kadence was looking for somewhere to put her toddler Rapunzel doll to take a nap. I told her to go put Rapunzel in her baby's bed. "But she's not a baby! She's Rapunzel! She's a kid!" Ok then.

Korvin was upset and crying for me to come get him. Before I got there, Kadence went over and knelt down in front of him and started crooning "It's ok lil' fella." He gets very angry when he's crying, and I'm laughing. LOL...couldn't help it.
