Carter...what a fun kid! This kid is hilarious and it is so easy to make him laugh! He loves it when his momma does this silly voice (daddy calls it her weird, creepy alien voice) and will just crack up laughing every time she uses it! Its so funny! He still has just two little teeth but man can that boy use them...he's bit his momma several times...and his sissy...and even himself a couple of times (ouchie!). He's my tall thin man...he weighs 15lbs 1oz and I can't remember how tall he is but they told me he's two inches taller than Caelyn! Wow!
As you can see Caelyn is starting to sit up almost on her own...we still need the boppy nearby to catch any spills! This just started about a week ago. She is a little harder to make laugh than Carter...but if you get her one tickle spot (right on her clavicles...weird huh?) she starts rollin'! Speaking of rolling...she can pretty much move from one side of a room to the other now by rolling there...ooh boy...momma better do a really good job of baby proofing! She's my little chunker...weighing in at a whopping 15lbs 6oz! :o)The Itsy Bitsy Spider has been their #1 favorite song for a little over a month now...but I'm a Little Teapot is starting to take the lead these days! :o)
On Halloween we just hung out on our driveway with our firepit and roasted hot dogs and s'mores. (and handed out candy too of course!)
Houston..we have a thumb sucker! Well...not really...but for this picture he got it in there pretty good! I took these pictures for their dedication ceremony that will be held next Sunday at church...I should mention these are the "outtakes"...I don't want family who read this blog to see the real photos until they're up on the big screen at church :o)
Both kids are amazing eaters....the whole time I'm feeding them they are like little birds with their mouths open! They used to get really crabby between bites because I'd have to feed the other one, but I think they've finally learned some patience...and they don't complain anymore! :o) When we started eating solids the babies did NOT like green beans or peas...but now they will eat ANYTHING I feed them! They love all their veggies and we just finished trying all the fruits...peaches being their least favorite and apples being their most favorite! :o) I'm so happy they love all their veggies because I am the MOST picky eater...I can't (won't) eat most vegetables...pretty much I'll eat lettuce, carrots and corn. Its pretty bad!
Yes...I'm still breastfeeding...*sigh*...its made my life so much easier to be feeding them solids though...if we're going somewhere I'll just nurse them really quick before we go and then pack the food for while we're out!
We aren't sleeping through the night as well as we were...I dunno what's going on (teething maybe?) but Caelyn keeps waking up at like 1 or 2am every night screaming...she won't take her paci and has to be rocked to sleep...sometimes several times a night. *sigh* If Carter wakes up he just needs his paci...but he doesn't wake up too often in the middle of the night thankfully. Then they wake up to eat at around 5 or 6 and then go back to sleep until around 10...yeah...momma usually sleeps in til around then too ;o)
Lately however I've been trying to be more productive in that long stretch of time...especially since the kids are way more mobile now! I've been doing a TON of crocheting...getting ready for a craft show and making hats for orders from my hat shop....look up Topsy Turvy Hat Shop on facebook...that's me! :o) I think I'm going to have to stop taking orders soon though...at least until after Dec. 4 because I just don't have time to prepare for the craft show when I'm filling orders! And like I said...its getting increasingly more difficult to find the time to crochet...and I know its going to get worse when the babies are crawling and WALKING...ahhhh!!
Anyhoo...I should get to bed...we lose an hour of sleep tomorrow don't we? Ugh...*yawn* Hopefully Caelyn will sleep through the night! We shall see! :o)
