How on earth has it been nearly a month since I've posted???!!! Wow...I figure I'm due for a post already! :o)
Things have been going great over here...I am officially a SAHM and I am loving it! I was definitely feeling a bit lost when the school buses roared past on Monday, but when I looked at the two chubby little cuties I was pushing in the stroller I knew I was right where I needed to be. I know I'll be back at work soon enough...I'm going to try to enjoy this year and hope that this one year leave of absence turns into TWO. :o) We'll see about that.
In kiddo news...lets see...both of them are rolling over like crazy. They hate being on their bellies so momma is constantly rolling them back onto their backs. Silly babies.
I've gotten a couple good laughs out of both kids, but nothing really consistant...I can't wait until I can hear those giggles daily!
We are still breastfeeding and my pediatrician doesn't usually start her babies on rice cereal until 6 months so we are waiting on that. She said we could start if I really really wanted to, but I figure I'll just wait since they are sleeping through the night...and it'd be just one more thing I'd have to do...and clean.. :o)
My parents just moved back to our side of the country...which is just plain lovely. I've been calling my mom a lot to help out with the kiddos...probably more than I should...but Nana doesn't seem to mind *wink*. I even got a pedicure last week.....I was pretty excited about that!! :o)
Caelyn is still my easy-going child. She will lay around and usually wait pretty patiently while I feed her brother. She gets really excited very easily...especially about bathtime! She splashes and kicks and smiles nearly the whole time! She stays awake nearly the whole day with only a couple cat naps...when we go out I usually have Carter in the back of the stroller (either in his car seat...asleep...or with the back seat reclined...so he can sleep!) and Caelyn in front. I went grocery shopping with my mom the other day (how nice to have someone to push the cart!!!) and Caelyn was in the front of the stroller talking to every one who walked by....and when no one was walking by...she talked to the groceries on the shelves!!! She lost her socks several times she was kicking so much! Silly girl!
Carter is my high maintinence child. He looooves to be held. He looooves his swing. And this boy looooves to sleep. :o) When he isn't sleeping though...you barely have to look at him and he will smile. He is the smiliest (is that how you spell that??!) boy...and his smiles are HUGE...big wide open mouth. He enjoys putting everything in his mouth...and constantly has his hands or a toy in there. His hair is starting to come in a little more (but he's still definitely a baldy!) so I'm getting excited about spiking it up in the next couple of months! :o) He is such a little observer...he will watch people and things go by with such wide eyes. He was rolling over before his sister...but he still has a little trouble holding his neck up sometimes...he's just very floppy...but we're working on it...the pediatrician said he needs to work out with his daddy! :o)
I think that's really all the news I have...I know I'm forgetting something...but I will try to post more than once a month so I remember all the good stuff! :o) I'll leave you with their latest photo shoot (which, speaking of photography, I have actually gotten a few "jobs" photographing other children....its been a lot of fun!!)
Here are my 5 month old cuties!!
