I have been scolded.....

I know I haven't posted in awhile and have been scolded by a good friend and a few family members. Time is a huge factor. At night when I have the time to post I just want to go to sleep...and do! T and E are growing so fast! They have already started fighting with each other! E loves to take her brother's pacifier and put it in her own mouth. We really can't put them close together unless we are right there because they grab at each other like they do their toys and it results in somebody getting scratched. OUCH! T and E both throw little mini fits now when things aren't going their way (ie. not being picked up first, not getting medicine first, when toys aren't going in their mouths correctly, when the other is getting a bite of food or is on the breast first, etc) It cracks me up to see their fits. E is definitely my little firecracker at the moment and T is an extremely close second! They are back on meds for reflux. Oh well. We will try again when they are older, I guess. Dare I say it.....their naps have gotten better. Nights have gotten better with E. She has been sleeping through the night (from about 9 pm to 5 or 6am). T still wakes up frequently for his pacifier and often wants to play or be held around 4 am. I put him in our bed a couple of times -- HUGE MISTAKE I KNOW! No more of that. Famous last words!

E is really trying her best to sit up while T is not very interested in that. He prefers to stand. He thinks everything is funny...going down the stairs, eating, me laughing, anything his daddy does. T and E both think David is extremely funny! It is so sweet the way they can't take their eyes off him when he comes home at night. He can't even be in the same room with me while I am nursing because they won't nurse. They just want to look at him and watch his every move. I love to hear them laugh. It warms my heart. They have both recently shown some stranger anxiety. E started crying in Kohl's when a nice lady spoke to her and this past Tuesday when our good friend Linda came to babysit while I went to the doctor for a checkup. Wednesday, T cried when David's Aunt Diane came to babysit so I could go back to the doctor. Neither episode lasted long...thank goodness.


We are going to start going to a play group monthly maybe weekly if we like it. Will post on that later.

Not me, I know how busy you are after visiting you recently! ..lol I dont understand how you get everything done that you do now. :-)

Ooh, personalities showing up already. That's good in a way, shows that they are developing well. It's funny too...It's good that you are so patient with them. Something tells me that is going to come in handy...lol

Hugs to everybody.
