9 Months Today

Maeve turned 9 months old today. My how time flies. She is turning into a little girl right before our eyes. I don't know if it's the second child syndrome, but it seems like she is growing up so much faster than her big sister ever did. She is pulling herself up into a standing position. She smiles and laughs....and the temper. Ohhh we thought Charlotte had a temper....this one is a whole other story.

This kid cracks us up. She is crawling all over the house. Getting into anything she can get her little hands on. Dad caught her eating an M&M off the floor. She screamed and cried when he took the half eaten morsel out of her mouth. Again with the temper!

If Charlotte has something, Maeve wants it, and well....vice versa. Charlotte is showing signs of being jealous of Maeve. So dad went out and bought Charlotte her own fish tank, a 5 gallon Hex tank. Of course with 5 little fish. Chocolate, Charlotte, Ruby, Dobie, and Numie. Neon Tetras to be exact. However 3 days after the purchase he can only find 4 fish. He spent almost an hour looking for the missing fish. It wasnt floating. It wasnt in the filter. Who knows where it is. One of the great mysteries of life. Perhaps it will decide to return to the tank once it realizes getting past the two dogs, crawling baby, and three year old toddler is only half the battle. Its still a long 100 yards of frozen tundra to make it to the river. If it knows what is good for it, the fish will return to the tank tonight while we are sleeping.

There is a chance that Charlotte grabbed the fish and gave it to her sister. And knowing Maeve, well...she probably ate it. These kids are crazy. And every day is getting a little crazier as they begin to start getting into trouble together.
