I am failing in my commitment to keep my blog current and stay up to date on milestones! But honestly, I just don't know how to find the time. Now that I'm working I use every single second of the kid's naps and bedtimes to do my work and then fall into bed exhausted. Regardless, it is a blessing to have the job I do and I feel so fortunate that I am able to be home with my munchkins. I love them so!
My Noah bear will be 6 months tomorrow. WOW. My little man has been in this world for half a year already! Oh boy, is he a mommy's boy. Seriously. It is so difficult for someone else to hold him and as soon as he catches sight of me he starts crying and fussing. I feel bad because I want other people to be able to bond with him and see him as the sweet, lovable baby that I do! Oh well, in time... He really is the cutest thing ever. He's got these rosy, squeezable chubby cheeks that I can't stop kissing! Noah is now sleeping through the night (7:30pm-6:30am). It is wonderful and I'm enjoying a full night sleep again. He is starting to scoot around on the floor and can get up on hands and knees but hasn't figure out how to coordinate them to crawl. He is also currently getting some teeth in and is not very happy about that. Neither am I, he's been a little cranky and starting to bite when nursing. :( Worst. pain. ever.
My little Gracie girl is in the process of potty training. I am really going to doing this. I will not give up. I will not stress about cleaning up accidents and the germs that get all over. She is ready and it will save us loads of money on diapers. I can do this. (Sorry, little pep talk for myself!) Honestly though, she's doing pretty good. Fortunately, all of the accidents she's had have been on tile. Lysol wipes are the greatest and my floors are looking pretty clean!
We went up to my parent's cabin for a few days this week and it was nice. Levi's parents and Wyatt and Carolyn went up and Grace had a blast discovering the forest with Papa, Wyatt and Julia. I feel so blessed that there is a little place tucked in the woods that we can disappear to when we just need a break! I'm really thankful that my parents are so generous with their cabin.
Well that's about it! I'm looking forward to the holidays with all the fun decorations, baking and scents that are so associated with fall and winter (thinking cinnamon). Hope everyone has a great week!
