Time out

So Rich and I have been having trouble deciding when is the right time to discipline Dex.  We've felt that he has been to young to really understand discipline because he doesn't really understand what is considered normal conduct.  Well that all changed the other day.  I had Finley lying on the floor and I was folding clothes while Dex was playing.  For some reason he got the idea that he should walk up and kick her.  He didn't kick her hard but just enough to be an intentional kick.  So I said "no Dex we don't kick."  Well then the little booger looked me straight in the eye and kicked her again.  GAME TIME!  First of all I can't believe how angry that made me not only because he was kicking Fin but more so the fact that he openly defied me and challenged me to see what would happen.  So I grabbed him and put him in time out.  I think he was a little confused by it but also a little mad. 
Later we were playing on our bed and he started to do something ( I can't remember what it was now) and I told him "no."  So he proceeded to hit me!  Where did this come from?  So it was back to time out. 
Let the battle of the wills begin.  The funny thing is I think it's going to be harder on me than it is on him.  The good thing is he is very forgiving right now so we are still buddies.

Nutin much

Not much is happening around the Rasmussen household just same old stuff.  Finley had her 2 month appointment a few weeks ago and she is 22inches and weighs 11.45lbs.  What a fatty!  She is in the 75% for height and weight.  She is awesome and such an amazing baby.  The last couple nights she has been going to bed at 8pm.  She is so funny you'll just be holding her or something and she'll just start crying and not calm down until you go and tuck her into bed.  Dex was not even this easy.  She is still gettin up about every 3 hours but there has been some nights when she'll sleep until 3am.  We are seriously lucky!
Dex is awesome he is really trying to talk more.  He is saying more words and really just trying to talk all the time. He is so much fun.  He still doesn't like having a little sister sometimes but he is really good to her and even gets amuzed with her at times.
