Hudson and Dixcee are learning to play with one another a little better. It really depends on the day and varies throughout the day... If Hudson is feeling generous with his toys, things go really well, if Dixcee is feeling generous by giving all her toys, things go really well. When they are both feeling possessive, well... you can only imagine. I'm not sure if its a girl thing but Dixcee is all about screaming when she wants the toy and then crying immediately after if its taken away. It could be that she has no other way to communicate though.

She is getting better with words, she can say: cookie, pizza, no, ya, mama, dada, hot, snow, sister, and her version of princess, popcorn, cracker, and baby. She loves her princess toys (Little People brand), and will carry them around everywhere, along with all four of her blankets... she may have a problem. She also loves dressing up, and her shoe obsession has expanded to wearing mine and Landons shoes now.

 

Dixcee loves ALL food, even avocado. She is using a fork and sitting at the table with us now, and usually likes to take bites from my plate after she has picked through her own and isn't having success with the fork. She loves to eat sauces by themselves... she will dip her fingers in ketchup or ranch and lick them off her fingers, pretty gross, and we always have to tell her to bit the food with the sauce on it, but she usually never does. Still only 6 teeth.

She still loves swimming and loves being outside... we've had some good weather so we've been able to go out a little bit, but she would go outside without shoes or a jacket if we'd let her. She loves to tackle dad and climb on his back. She has also learned how to jump, she doesn't really get off the ground yet, but it means she's closer to hitting a volleyball! She also loves making messes... who wouldn't at her age?

Dixcee became a big sister! I can't believe we have three little ones. Dixcee is doing really great, we definitely had to teach her to be gentle and soft but she is her sisters biggest advocate. Every time she is crying Dixcee lets us know and every morning after Dixcee finds us (usually in our bed) she is quickly looking for sister.

Our love for her is growing each and every day, she has such a fun and energetic personality, hard to keep up with sometimes, but so much fun. She is going to be a great big sister and can tell she is going to be a mini me just because she can't sit still. We love her!
