So I didn't realize it's been so long. In the last month and a half things have really changed around my house.
Mariah hit her jealousy stage 3-4 weeks ago. She went through extreme whinyness (spl?) and back talking and all kinds of fun stuff. She has been slowing getting better so we're hoping it's almost over, for now. Other than that - she's doing well. We took them to meet their new babysitter & Mariah opened up very well. I am thankful for that cuz I thought it was gonna be a lot harder than it was to get her used to it. She started playing with the other kids just a few minutes after we got there. Which brings me to another thing, she has really started opening up all around. I mean don't get me wrong she still very much has her moments but for example the other day we were standing in the line at the store and this guy said hi to her. She smiled and said hi right back... no shying away at all! It actually kind of scares me because I have never really worried about stranger danger with her & now I am thinking I need to put a rush on informing her all about it!!! Still she's such an awesome little girl - I don't know where I'd be without - and I mean that very literally!
Jimi is growing like a weed! I recently had to put away almost half his entire wardrobe - thankfully I have tons of 6m+ clothes from my baby shower to start dressing him in. He talks all the time, grasps things, holds his feet, eats rice cereal & has tried a few different baby foods. He's gone bald on top although it's been slowing down recently and even starting to grow in a little now. He's a fat boy! He weighs in at over 14lbs now, I'm guessing... 6 weeks ago he was 13.4 so I'm pretty sure with all the added foods he is over 14lbs. He smiles all the time & even laughs an oh so freakin' cute little baby laugh!!!
We went camping for 9 days in mid July & it was a blast! Except, camping with a baby isn't easy! I am looking forward to next year... besides the running after Jimi constantly - lol I am looking forward to when they are grown and can do there own things when I wanna be lazy again! lol! Just kidding... 50%! :)
Thomas & I are fine. a little sleepy maybe. Tired. EXHAUSTED! But still doing good... I love em all! Here's some pics!
