The Irving's: It's Been A While

So, what's happening in the Irving household? Not much really. We're recovering from a week of illness for all of us. Last week was a blur and my house has paid dearly. I slept very little.

Avery Girl Irving is now 4 years old. FOUR. YEARS. OLD. I'm not really sure how this can be but it is true. She goes to Mother's Day Out once a week and loves it. Right now we are battling huge tonsils (hopefully a change in diet will result in no need for surgery) and a gross and infected tooth that will hopefully be coming out this week.

She tells me multiple times a day that she loves me. She's perpetually hungry. She loves My Little Pony, Frozen, Curious George and many other things. She continuously hounds her dad the second he walks in the door. Does he want to play in her room or brother's room? Does he want to play tag? Does he want to sit on the bench and watch her ride her bike? Does he want to play her Frozen game? She is a sweet big sister to David. She doesn't always listen. She's getting kind of sassy. She never wants to leave the house and likes to argue.

I love that girl.

Baby David is 13 months old. A toddler.

He's sweet and cuddly and getting to be pretty silly. Every morning we wake up before Avery and we go into the living room and until she wakes up I constantly chase after him to keep him from trying to get into her room. He looks at me and smiles, makes a run for it and laughs when I snatch him up. He is so excited when she comes out of her room each morning. He used to cry when we told him "no" and now he laughs. He loves light switches. He loves to be outside. He loves to ride on the rocking horse in his room. He still wakes up multiple times a night. He loves his mommy but is starting to really like his daddy. He gets so excited when David gets home. As soon as he hears the door he goes to it smiling. I finally cut off his baby mullet.

He likes to eat avacado and bananas. He likes to eat whatever you are eating. He likes to throw things. He likes to do things he's not supposed to all the while laughing...over and over. He has the sweetest little face. He likes to pull Avery's hair. He finds it quite funny. He's got his top 4 teeth and 3 bottom teeth, working on the 4th. He loves bath time. He's like a moth to the flame when he hears the water running.

He's the best.
