Hello my peeps! One time I stated, in my college class, that I did not want a job that I had to spend all day on a computer. They all started laughing at me. But after just spending the good part of the morning on it I am going a little bit crazy. It sucks me in and I don't like it. However, I did feel the urge to continue the insanity to update the blog on our little life that we have been living.
Our family has been truly blessed these last few months. I can't express the happiness I feel each day. I feel so alive. I love the weather we are having. There is something about birds chirping, a slight wind blowing in your hair, the sun on your back, the green grass and wearing flip flops that puts you in such a good mood. I love that I can take time to take my daughter to the play ground or sit outside and chalk. We like to do hopscotch and pretend that she can jump on one foot, when mostly she just gallops around.
I love that my family is healthy. The girl is growing, The boy is strong and determined to start sitting up any day now and The Hubby and I couldn't be doing better. Ok well the last part is somewhat exaggerated....we do need to work out more but I count it as a blessing that we are taken care of each day of our lives. That we have today to do better than the last.
I am so excited to think of the adventures we get to take in a couple of weeks and the fun activities we can plan during the summer. It definitely makes me happy to be this close to the ocean and go and enjoy a day on the beach playing with the sand between our toes. You couldn't ask for anything better.
I am so happy for friends. It is hard being a mom, living far away from everyone and working to stay in contact with your friends. I have so many people that I need to call. However, I just want to tell everyone that I appreciate their friendships. Because even though we may not talk as much as I want, you are all still important to me and I love reading the blogs or meeting up with you on facebook.
Well....enough of the mushy gushy stuff. Our family is doing freaking amazing!
The boy has already had his first haircut. Both my kids were born with this rat tail in the back of their head. With the girl we just let it grow out, because she would have long hair anyways. With the boy we decided it just didn't look right and Bren decided to trim it. His hair is definitely coming in better than his sisters. Meaning it is pretty much even all around, no long chunks anywhere. He is starting to find his tongue. He likes to swish it around his mouth and stick it out to me.
He is still a gurbler. But I think it is slowing down, a little bit. He is moving around the floor. He is not realizing what he is doing but he is able to move his body bit by bit. He loves his bouncer and is starting to realize what the toys on his tray do. He has his little giggle that mostly comes out when I tickle right under his ribs.
We call the boy the turkey, and with good reason. His sleeping habits are so far worse than when he was born. Up all night, wanting to feed all night, or hitting his face with his hands keeping him awake. It is not fun. But this is what us moms signed up for!
The girl is awesome. She is doing good at potty training. She has had her accidents lately. But hopefully that will be the last. She is definitely into dresses. Last night she told me, "Mom I was cying cying because dad took my dress." She said this because her dad made her take off her dress to put pajamas on. And what was the first thing she put on this morning? Her dress! Gotta love it.
She is still taking a nap during the day. This is nice because I am still able to get some work done. However, her night sleeping is way off. On average she will spend maybe about 4 hours in her bed. Then she wakes up and finds her way into my bed. Then continues to push her bum into my back so I am right on the edge of the bed.
Then other nights when she wakes up and has to go potty, she will start screaming. I think she is half awake because she just continues screaming and screaming. She will stand by the potty and not go in the toilet but will wet her panties. It is confusing to us and we don't know what to do.
Anyways this is way too long of a post but I actually had time to write!
Our friends stopped by to say hello. Jax is just a month younger than brother. They were BFF's from the moment they laid eyes on each other.
First bite of rice cereal mixed with formula. He couldn't get it in fast enough.
Brielle putting on her makeup. I guess she decided her forehead was in need of a makeover.
My cute family.
Hey twinners! Can I say cute!
This a friend of mine that I grew up with and her daughter. Her daughter and the girl are about the same age so we would go to the park and hang out often. They had to move away and we miss them terribly.
With our friends at the Sacramento Zoo.
The boys first haircut!
