Getting the Hang of It!

5/18/07

So we seem to be settling in to our new schedules quite well now. Our house is finally STARTING to look normal again - a little messy but nothing a half hour won't cure. The dryer is finally fixed, well the landlord just bought a brand new one to replace the one the can't dry worth @$%#!!! So we can finally do our laundry again.

MariaH has had a cold the last few days but hopefully it's on it's way out now. It has been kind of hard not letting her get too close to Jimi. She blows her kisses and hugs to him. Having Jimi around has made me realize exactly how much she has grown. She's not even my little baby anymore - she's like a kid! LOL well I know she is a kid but it's weird to think of her like that. She knows how to spell her name and she is working on our home phone number too. She is also quite the smart bum... like the other day: We have matching outfits & we both put on our pants and then she put on her shirt and I put on a different shirt. She asked me "Mom, how come you're not wearing your pink shirt?" I said, "Because I don't want to." she replies, "Fine Then!" So see she's not the sweet and inncocent little girl people think she is. At least not all the time. :)

Lil Jimi is almost sleeping through the entire night on most nights. He sometimes softly cry's for his binki but falls right back to sleep as soon as I can pry myself outta bed to give it to him. He falls alseep around 9 or 10 and then sleeps usually until about 6am but sometimes a little later. So I guess I'm lucky! :) He is also doing a lot better at breast these days which I am very thankful for! He's growing fast too.... I know I know... this is nothing new to all my "already mommy's for ages" girls in my family but cheese & rice - they grow a lot faster than I ever imagined.

Anyway, it's friday. I am in the best of moods (knock on wood), and yea. It's a good day! Here's some more pictures of my kiddo's. Some are a little blurry :)

MariaH Lee when she was 2 and 4.

Do you think he'll have a smile like his grandpa's? Let's hope so!

Harder Than I Imagined

5/2/07

Having two at home is really not as simple as I thought. I mean, trust me I knew it would be hrder than having one... but I guess it's just having two and one of them being an infant. An infant who may be just starting to come into his "Colic" - per Doc's guess. He just hasn't been sleeping like he was when he first came home and he has been a bit more fussy as well. Plus he's been gumming his bottles a lot more rather than actually drinking the milk. The milk just dribbles down his chin for the most part. I dunno what him's thinkin'. Still my kids are both beautiful little miracles and it's all worth it!

I just found these two pics on my cell phone. They must have been taken by one of my sisters. It's Tom & I right before going into C-section to deliver Lil' Jimi. I look a lot happier than I felt. I was still having contractions complete with back labor at this point.

Here's some more recent ones of both my babies. Notice that Jimi has his mama's hair especially right after getting out of the bath. So curly & Cute.
