Another Day...

Boys, it's been a while.  As I'm attempting to post something interesting, I'm enjoying the silence of the house, as the kids sleep.  Really, I should be cleaning the kitchen/bedroom/playroom, starting laundry, shower, eat lunch, and watch my soap (Days of our Lives.)  Oh, and there's cat puke on the front step outside that needs to be cleaned off, dog poop in the yard to pick up, and a dirty fish tank to be cleaned (I can't believe he hasn't died yet!)

The boys have been soooo active lately.  I guess instead of saying that every post, it should just be a given.  They do this new thing where if they are downstairs and I go downstairs, then they go upstairs.  If I go up, they go down.  Now, I just let them do whatever and peek/spy on them every few minutes.  They seem to play better with me not around to supervise/referee.  Adam is less likely to whine and tell on Jack.  And Jack is less likely to do something that is especially naughty (or so I think?)  

We are getting ready to potty train again.  They are both showing signs of being ready.  They both request diaper changes and don't run when I go to change it.  They also both hide when they poo.  Jack has always done that, but Adam now will hide under the dining room table.  I'm thinking in a month or so we will try again.

Maya has been eating like a champ.  She now eats 3 meals of food a day.  She is still on a great sleeping schedule.  Though she does get up once in the night, I'm not ready to stop that.  For some crazy reason, I actually enjoy getting up and feeding her.  It's such a special time and I know it won't last for long.  Besides, get goes to bed at 6:30, I don't blame her for wanting to eat 9 hours later.

We are all anxious for spring to arrive.  Yesterday was a taste of spring at 50 plus degrees.  We enjoyed the afternoon at the zoo.  (Will post pictures when I remember to get my camera out of my car.)  Preschool has been going great.  I am "Room Mom" this Friday.  I bring snack and get to help with crafts, snacks, poopy pants and "fighting".  

Well, better get back to my "chores".

This is something you rarely see.  No, not Maya getting a bath, but a picture with me and Maya!

My active boys!

The boys have so much energy these days.  They are still fighting a wicked cough they've had for about a week now.  Even Maya has the cough.  Being cooped up inside without any playdates this week has been hard.  It's nice that the boys play with each other though.  Right now they are jumping from one bed to another.  They love to chase each other (but if Jack isn't first he cries), wrestle (usually Adam cries), race each other and lots of other active  boy games.

I'm 6 months!!!

Wow, I can hardly  believe that I'm 6 months old today!  Life at my house is crazy, loud and very entertaining.  I love watching my brothers.  They are always playing with each other and sometimes they even play with me.  I don't need a lot their attention, but I love when they look at me.  That's all I need to give them a belly laugh.  

My days are spent with mommy shuffling me around from one room to another.  Sometimes I play in my jumperoo, sometimes sit on the floor or in a bouncy seat, but my favorite is to sit on mommy's hip.  I can usually fuss a little and she's pick me up and carry me around while she does her "chores."

I still love my baths and prefer to bathe without my brothers in the tub.  They usually splash, spit and pee in the water.  It's not as fun with them.  I really love to be in just a diaper.  My brothers are always running around in just diapers, I don't know why I can't?!  I  love when mommy tickles me and daddy "tries" to scare me.   I also like my car seat and stroller rides because I can usually get in a good nap.

I'm a really good sleeper.  Well, at least for night time.  Mommy decided that I didn't need to be swaddled anymore, so she told me to "tough it out" and let me cry.  Boy, did I cry!  But now, a couple days later, I just lay in my crib and talk myself to sleep.  Mommy's way more fun than taking naps,  so sometime I cry just to see if she'll come running.  Guess what?  Sometimes she does.  So it's worth all the effort of crying!  The same time I cried for not being swaddled, my brothers cried for their binkys.  Mommy said if I was going to cry, she might as well take their binkys away and let them cry too.  It was a rough couple days!

I can sit up.  Okay, well, I can sit for like 5 seconds.  Mommy says "any day now" I'll be sitting and playing more.  My two bottom teeth have come through.  That didn't hurt too much, but since they came in, I haven't had much of an appetite.  I see my doctor tomorrow so I'll have mommy post an update on my six month stats.  Wow, before you know it, I'll be turning one!
