I really need to rememeber to journal more. I told myself that I would try and journal just as much with Elizabeth as I did with Xander but, it seems there's always something preventing me from getting to the computer to catalog all the milestones and funny incidents (for both children) and when I do get to the computer, I find myself catching up ( Read more... )

I don't know what's up with Elizabeth. She's doing the same thing this morning that she was doing last night. She acts hungry and then I go to put her on and all she wants to do is get me to let down then goes on and off for a while before I finally just put myself away. Then we repeat it all over again 30min later. Before I was able to go to ( Read more... )

Xander is just too cute. Last week I was taking his picture and he runs up to me saying, "CHEESE!"

Elizabeth gave her first laughs yesterday. She was just cracking up and it was sooo cute. Unfortunately, by the time Shawn thought to get the video camera and got it turned on, she stopped and we only managed to capture some screaming because she was starting to get mad. We're almost finished with the tape so I'll be able to post videos soon. I ( Read more... )

The kids got up just before 8 so, I'm guessing they've decided to get back on their normal schedule for some reason. That's alright with me because I was just as well rested. What's really funny is that I only just changed my alarm clock time yesterday and suddenly today they're getting up on time instead of an hour late. Maybe I should change ( Read more... )

Daylight Savings time is awesome (at least for now). Xander's been waking up after 8 and today e wasn't up until 9. Elizabeth slept until about 8:30 for me, though she is a little fitful from 5:30 on. I think shhe's eating twice in the 'night' now because I can't be bothered to get out of bed to feed her. just roll onto whatever side I need to ( Read more... )

Elizabeth turned 2 months old yesterday! She's way behind Xander in the weight department. LOL We had her doctor's appointment today and she weighed in at 9 pounds 13 ounces (Xander was about 13 pounds) and 22.5 inches. She was 50th percentile for both and 25th percentile for head circumference (36.8 cm). So, it looks like she'll have my little ( Read more... )

Xander gave me the best present this morning. I went to change his diaper and found his jammie bottoms were wet. It was lovely, diaper-filling, diarrhea. It was messy enough that I had to give him a bath because wipes just weren't going to do the job (when it gets up in the front area of boys it's just easier to soak). Luckily for me, Elizabeth ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting to update this thing. So much has happened and I'm going to forget to write most of it down ( Read more... )

Elizabeth needs to stop with the 1.5 hour intermission from sleep at night. I'm exhausted. I really need more than a few hours of sleep if I'm only gonna get it in 1-2 hour spurts at a time. But, I think part of it is that she's starting a growth spurt so she was eating more yesterday. That doesn't explain why she's been doing that up from about ( Read more... )
