Seriously?!?

The past few days Johnny has been sleeping a lot during the day (which is nice right?) and is super cranky at night. He has to be held ALL the time, doesn't want to nurse and just screams. Last night I decided to check his gums because teething was the only thing I could think of. Sure enough, he already has a tooth poking through the gum! Isn't it a little bit early? Addie didn't get any teeth for awhile but I guess every kid is different. I think the other bottom one might be coming in too, it's kind of hard to look in there when h is screaming. I am hoping we don't have very many more days like this. I am exhausted!

My babes...

Adorable.

Handsome.

Peaceful.

Gentle.

Sweet.

Love.

Afternoon Activities

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been trying to spend some one on one time with Addie everyday. One day she told me that she wanted to sew. When I asked her what she wanted to make she said a purse. That days activity was going through my fabric with her to pick out what she wanted. The next day we worked on cutting out the pieces and putting it together. We didn't get very far (it is pretty difficult to sew with a 2 year old) so that night I finished it and hung it on the chair for her to see in the morning. She loves it!! It was immediately filled with toys and has been carried all around ever since.

This past weekend we went out and bought some games that we thought she would be able to play. The board game we got will take some time for her to learn. She loves playing with all the pieces but doesn't quite get the rules. We also got a bowling set. I have seen much cuter sets but this was only $5 at Wal-Mart.

Setting up the pins...

...And knocking them down.


Of course I couldn't do a post without including our little man...

This video might be boring to most people. But as a parent you get excited about every little new thing that your baby does. I love when they start noticing the world around them and become more active. He gets so excited watching the lights on that thing. And Addie is such a big helper and loves him to pieces!!

Once Again...

We're petless. :(

Hope you find a good home Henry!!

2 Months and Cookies

It has become very evident that Addie is a little annoyed that I spend so much time with Johnny. I am also in the process of taking a course to renew my flight instructor certificate online. So this week I am either holding Johnny or staring at the computer and she is desperate for attention. This afternoon I decided we needed something to do together so, while the baby was napping we made cookies. She was so excited to wear her apron! I wasn't sure if any of the chocolate chunks were going to be left in the cookies because she was eating them all out of the batter. They did turn out pretty yummy though!

Thanksgiving and after...

So I realize that Thanksgiving was over a month ago. The thought of going through the hundreds of pictures we have taken in the last 6 weeks overwhelms me so I will get there...a little at a time!

While our shower was under construction Addie enjoyed baths in the sink. Yes, a 2 and a half year old can fit in the sink. She actually really liked it and keeps asking to take a bath in the sink every night.

Most of my family was able to come up here for Thanksgiving. We missed my older sister and her 2 kids! We went to a buffet on Thanksgiving and had my brother and his girlfriend over for dinner the day after.

I braved Pike Place Market 2 weeks after I had the baby. It was a very chilly, windy day but we had a great time.

I love how she puts her hands in her little pockets!

Our little town has a Christmas parade every year. Once again we got all bundled up and went out to see Santa on the fire truck!
