MooMoo the Clown

After the adventure of having 2 kids in just bit over a year, you would think we would take a break for a bit, right? And we did...sort of. There are 16 months between Fia and MooMoo, the largest gap between any of our kids. Jeff and I decided we were going to be a 3 child family, and since we already had 2 so close together, we might as well have the third one soon and get them all out of diapers around the same time. In theory, it was a great plan...in practice, still good but more complicated by the addition of #4, but that's a later post.

MooMoo is my mini-me. She is quiet in front of other people, but the loudest of the crazies at home. She likes to play jokes on people, especially if she can do it in a sneaky way. She can be passive agressive, and even though she is younger than Pander and Fia, she can really hold her own with them. Oh, and Moo is stubborn as the day is long! She is so much like me that she even tried to share my birthday, but came 2 hours too soon!

MooMoo was a fairly easy baby. She didn't have the belly issues my older 2 had, she was very content and ate like a champ. She was born sucking hungrily on her hand, nursed like a pro from the moment she was handed to me, and didn't need anything beyond a full tummy to be happy. As she grew older, and started moving and talking, we started to see the mischievous side emerge. As soon as anyone vacates a chair (and I mean within a second), it is gone forever because Moo is an infamous seat-stealer. Why? Because she "likes a warm chair."

We call my baby girl MooMoo because when she cries, it is very dramatic and it sounds like injured, dying cattle. The drama is all hype, because as soon as you say "where is that dying cow?" she starts to laugh and can't maintain her fit. She is my funny bunny, and I am really enjoying this school year because we have mornings at home with just me, Moo and Noodle and I'm getting to see a hilarious, independant side to her that I haven't seen when the older kids are home. I can't wait to see how the rest of this year goes, and how MooMoo grows and changes with the opportunity to be the "big man" on campus!
