15 months old Your toddler is really curious about the world around her! Encourage your child to explore her world. There is so much for her to see, hear, touch, taste, build, knock over, climb on and manipulate. Your quiet baby has become full of energy and she needs you to step up the pace, too. She is probably constantly in the go-crawling, walking and scooting. It can be tiring, but think of all she is learning. Putting your child into a playpen limits opportunities for active learning and it should only be done when necessary.

Parents generally discipline their children in one of two ways: Power control or reasoning control. If you use power control, you take privileges away, use corporal punishment, withholding affection and use force to control your child's behaviors. Parents that use reasoning control usually explain in age appropriate terms why their child should behave a certain way. They choose not to use physical punishments, but instead point out why the child's actions could harm others. Reasoning control generally makes children understand why what they did was wrong and children are usually more likely to cooperate.

Your child probably likes to climb and climb alone. He does not think he needs any help. He can climb up stairs, onto chairs and tables, and he can also climb out of his crib or playpen. He can walk well and may be able to run a little. Your little one can follow simple commands, tell you what they want some of the time and can point to familiar items in a book. Your child is learning about textures, but probably does not like anything sticky.

Your child has become an expert att putting things in her mouth. The bad news is that she often puts objects in her mouth that don't belong there. The good news is that she is continuing to get better at feeding herself. Mealtimes are smoother and she enjoys eating with the family. There is no reason to buy separate foods-she can eat what you eat!

Because you have encountered the accident years, take every opportunity to make your child's environment as safe as possible. Young children don't know how to protect themselves, so it is your job do make sure she is safe.

Good morning ladies=) God is good=) My mom is HOME!!!! They did the cathderization on her and they said no clots and her heart looks FINE! They came up with the conclusion that it has to be her migraine medician that made her have pressure in her heart and high blood pressure. The doctor said he has seen it before with Imitrex. He told mom to only use it if she really really needs it! She has suffered with Migraines for ever, but now I think they have to come up with a different plan! Well, I am so happy her heart is healthy=) She is so happy to be home. Although do to the procedure she will be on bed rest for 2 weeks. Well thank u so much for the prayers! Gosh is today really Friday? This week just seemed to fly by?

julbroom1 - Thursday, 24 Jul
Gene morning, I pm u on your page! Oh ALyssa and Trent would have some much fun spinning around. I know the kids are keeping up right were they belong with milestones:) It is so funny when Trent does spin because when he is done he puts his hand on the floor like he is trying to stop it from spinning. haha silly guy! Trent doesn't jump either well he just bends his legs! Glad Trent ball is not the only one that goes behind him. haha We have one of the huge octagon play pens with and extenison we got when Trent was smaller well we used it as a big gate! well we have it in the yard to put watson in, well trent wanted in there and didn't want to get out. haha we was just running along the sides haha well now maybe i can get the rest of my things planted probably not as soon as Trent see me in the dirt. haha well hope you have a good day and i am sure its hard that you can't be by your mom all day.

gene - Thursday, 24 Jul
Good morning=) Well, my mom is still in ICU, they are transferring her to another hopsital, because the doctor told my dad that they want to do a catherization? But he siad if during the procedure they find a problem they might have to transfer her, so we all decided transfer her now instead! So they are. Very scary, my poor mom=( She is very scared. They said she might have had a very mild heart attack? But won't know for sure until later today. Gosh, we all really need to watch what we eat! It is so scary how these things can happen! I'm going to go buy a healthy eating book. Although I really try to eat healthy, but I want to make sure I am! Maybe I can talk to a nurtitionist? Well, other than that we are doing well.Keep the prayers coming thank u=) Julbroom1, Trent makes himself dizzy when he spins! Aww, can u imagine Trent and Alyssa spinning together!AWWW Too cute!! No she hasn't tried jumping yet? Yesterday my sis said to her let me see your feet and she showed her her feet! I guess I'm just amazed how little the babies are, but yet they understand? I love these babies=) Look at the 15mth Developmental milestones! The babies seem to be following them=) When Alyssa throws a ball most of the time it has landed behind her.ha ha ha

julbroom1 - Wednesday, 23 Jul

gene - Wednesday, 23 Jul
Good morning=) Hope everyone is well=) Last night around (7 pm) my dad called to tell me that my mom was in the ER, she was having chest pains and high blood pressure! She is 56yrs old. So she is fairly young. So they ran a lot of test on her and one of the EKG's came back bad, but the other ones were good. So they just wanted to keep a good eye on her and put her in ICU for the night. She looks great. So that is good=) She has great color etc! Please say a prayer that she gets better=) Thank u. The kids are fine. Daddy watched them and when I got back home they were all playing=) So that is good=) Wanted to share Alyssa's new milestones=) Last week: she learned how to Spin around=) She laughs while spinning around.ha ha This week she learned how to walk backwards.=) She also likes me to chase her=) I tell her that I'm going to get her and she runs into her room!haha YEsterday we were having a race (trying to get the older kids tired)ha ha and the objective was to hop like a frog into the tunnel and touch the coach, the one that touched the coach first wins. So as I counted down, ALyssa took off running to the coach.ha ha Too cute! But along with these milestones it just shows me how big she is getting=) She is my little toddler now=) But it is a fun stage=)Let me know what ur little ones are doing=)

lisatek82 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Yes that is the one... It has a button on the steering wheel that makes it go or you can control it with the button on the handle.

gene - Tuesday, 22 Jul

They love pancakes also!ha ha So when Jr. gets them they want some too.hehe As far as Sasha, yeah she was my first baby=) We got her when we bought our first home, then we got married 2mths later=) Two years later we had Matthew=) So, I got to practice being a mom with Sasha.ha ha I have to add a pic of her=)ha ha Poor Sasha lost her rank when the kids were born.ha ha I tell my parents Sasha was there first Granddaughter!ha ha

julbroom1 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Morning Gene, I live thier little feet to, but I guess I don't notice Trents all the time since i see them haha. Do you feed the kids you watch breakfast to? So did you have sasha before JR was born? one thing i don't like about puppies are potty training you were lucky you didn't have to do that. well have a good day!

gene - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Good morning all=) Jullbroom1, yeah, Trent feet are adorable=) I'm a weird mom, ha ha I always give kisses to my kids feet! I love smelling them also.ha ha ha Yeah, I know weird!ha ha Well, I do think one foot turns in a little more than the other one? I guess all I can do is keep an eye on it and have the doctor check them again=) Lilly, wow, great back flip!! Looks like a lot of fun=) And the pic of Jaidalynn and her cousin is so cute! Like Julbroom1 said, u can't even notice his cleft lip!! They did a great job=)I love there curly hair=)Well, the kids are here and they are hungry for some pancakes=) Have a great day=)

julbroom1 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
our dog is a blue heeler, Trent is having such a good time with him they both play in Trents room:) Watson keeps trying to take Trents blankie and his dude. haha But it is teaching him to leave it in his bed haha but good think i have a sewing machine have a feeling i will be sew a few things in the next couple of months haha

julbroom1 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Lisa I think I know which one you are talking about, think you posted a picture with Parker in it, Does it also go by itself like the other power wheels?

julbroom1 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Lilly the picture of Jaidalynn and her cousin is so cute, and you can't even tell that he had a clef lip so cute I love the curls on both of them! does the curly hair run in your family? That is awesome that you are doing gymnastics good job on the back hand spring, i haven't been able to do one since I was like 20 can still no a back flip on a trampoline haha

julbroom1 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Gene you noticed Trents feet?:) they look blurry when he is running, he still has that whole leg run not yet really bending them. haha Do both of Alyssa feet turn in or just one? I am sure once the dr looks at it and watches it he will know but better to check it out now since its so easy to take care when smaller. Finally got the fan in Trents room YAY so hopefully he won't be woke so early in the morning!

lisatek82 - Tuesday, 22 Jul
Aww they look so cute Lilly and great job on the back handspring. I used to be able to do one, but now I can't even touch my toes...LOL That is great non of the other kids got it Gene. Julbroom Parker loves his powerwheels. It is the little blue car that has the handl.e on the back so you can control where they go.

Baby Jaidalynn - Monday, 21 Jul
Okay so here is me doing the Back Handspring on the trampoline. I look so bloated cause I had got my period on that day. And I was so tired too. I have my glasses on cause I have a big stye on my lower lid that hurts like hell so I couldnt' wear my contacts. I am getting it removed this week if it doesn't go away. ewww yuck.

Baby Jaidalynn - Monday, 21 Jul
Here is a picture of Jaidalynn and her cousin John Anthony at his first birthday party this past Weekend. This was the boy that had a clef lip that I told some of you last year. He had it fixed when he was 6 months old. They both have curly hair and kinda look alike.LOL Photobucket

gene - Monday, 21 Jul
Lisatek, YAY for Parker and walking=) Gotta take pics=) Well gotta go the kids are here=) Oh lisa, none of the kids got sick, thank God=)

gene - Monday, 21 Jul
ha ha Julbroom1, he is talking on the phone while driving! TOO CUTE!! I guess it's natural to want to talk and drive.ha ha Tell him in NY u get a $100.00 ticket for that!ha ha First of all Trent has the cutest feet.ha ha Well, I did notice that Alyssa's feet kindof curve in while she walks?? My mom said I was like that but worse and I needed braces when I was little. I did mention this to the doctor and they said when she walks for a while it should get better?? I don't know?? I think I will bring it up again on her 15mth appointment=) I'm supposed to go in two weeks to give her her mmr shot. Jr. had that too, and it did go away. I think ALyssa has it a little bit more than Jr did, that is why I'm a little concerned? What do u think?

julbroom1 - Monday, 21 Jul
ok better go the only couch Trent can't climb up is our upstairs one but he figured out if he gets the step stool out of the kitchen, he can push it there and climb up so that is what he doing now bye

julbroom1 - Monday, 21 Jul
YAY for Parker taking his first steps! How exciting! Now you will never be able to sit down:) not like you get a lot of chances with 2 kids:) Does Parkeer like his power wheels thinking of getting that for Trent

julbroom1 - Monday, 21 Jul
Good Morning Gene so glad to hear that Alyssa is feeling better!:) OMG that is way to funny about your car being towed haha I loved how your dad said like having teenagers again:) What a story to tell the kids when they are older.:) I love meatloaf! I don't get a chance to make no one like it here my daughter hates ground meat! haha hubby loves ground meat but hate meat loaf! haha but he eates the garbage the Navy serves haha I didn't get much sleep puppy crying all night! but that is expected. Trent got his car for his b-day my friend with the twins got him that! she knew i wanted to get it but beat me to it! funny thing she has 2 of them that her kids never play with but here they all have to fight over it guess it better at some one else house haha oh did you see Trent was talking on his phone when driving.

lisatek82 - Monday, 21 Jul
Almost forgot... Yesterday I was holding Parker's hand while he was walking and he seemed sturdy so I let go and he just stood there.. Then, he took two steps. He went for a third, but I think I scared the heck out of him with my screaming and so he fell.I hope this is a start...LOL
