2 months!

My precious little girl is two months old today! It is crazy how time flies! In some ways I feel like we just brought her home and in others it seems like she has been in our lives forever. Life is still crazy around here!











Love my guy!
11 inches gone!!

Second hair cut!

Sorry I have been MIA lately. My computer went coo-coo and I had to restore it therefor losing ALL of my old pictures. I was very sad, but thankful that I have this blog to at least re-live some of the memories. 

Anyway, we went to get Evan's hair cut for the second time. He screamed bloody murder for the first 5 minutes and then finally calmed down. The lady sort of gave Evan a mullet, but if anyone can rock a mullet, Evan can! After the hair cut, we went to BWW to eat. It was the best dinner we have had in a while regarding behavior. Margaret slept the whole time and Evan was occupied by the football on tv and putting his crayon in a pulling them out of the box. We are finally getting this family of four thing down. 

In other news, Margaret is sleeping about 7 hours at night. She sleeps from 7-2. I try to go to bed about nine so I can get some decent sleep. She then sleeps from 2-5 and then after 5 I am usually up until Evan wakes up about 5:45-6. Evan has become a little character lately, he now will grab my phone through out the day and say "night, night." He wants me to go put him in his crib so he can watch OSO on my phone. He won't go to sleep, but he will just hang out for about 30 minutes. It is the weirdest thing, but I guess even Evan needs his alone time. He loves to watch football and will yell at the tv.  I have no idea where he gets that from. He can also say football! Evan has become a pro at sign language. It's become he will watch baby signing time about 10 times in one day. He has mastered some signs: water, milk, apple, banana, cracker, cereal, game, horse, dog, frog, fish, bird, hot, cold, cry, please, friends, guns up, and touch down. Okay, okay, maybe the last two don't count, but we are still proud. 


7 weeks old?

So far she still has blue eyes...


Evan LOVES to pour water from container to container....




Is this not the saddest face???
Best buddies!

Just another day..

We had a good Sunday considering the time change! We went out to lunch. The kids were GREAT! Everyone had a chance to enjoy their lunch. Then, we went to the grocery store. It was nice to have the extra help. We came home and watched some fantasy football. The kids actually napped at the same time, so Mark went to finally buy us a new tv. We get it in a few weeks and I can't wait to finally have it mounted on the wall. Now all we have to do is babyproof the kitchen and I can have guest over again! Hooray!! We let Evan finger paint today. He made some beautiful artwork and a mess! He really had blast, but would get mad that he had paint all over his hands. He kept saying yucky, then painting, looking at his hands, saying yucky, and would continue painting. Such a cutie!

His new I won't look at you when you have the camera out.
Being content while we watch football!

She smiles now, but I cant seem to get it!!

Hiatus

Well, these last few days have been trying to say the least. I am not sure what is going on, but for now I will blame it on Margaret's 6 weeks growth spurt. She has been awake more, which unfortunately, means cranky more. I really love that she is more alert, but it's an adjustment. Most my attention has gone toward Margaret and Evan is NOT happy about that. I try really hard to give him quality time, but it's been tough the past few days. He is still my precious, little firecracker! 

In the midst of all the craziness, I have taken a break from cloth diapering. I am not giving it up yet because honestly it is a hobby and I truly like it. Though, right now I have very little free time, and I don't want to spend that free time washing, hanging, and folding cloth diapers. Poor Mark hasn't had clean clothes in about two weeks. We need are washer back!! Hopefully, once things calm down a bit, we can get back into it, but for now I am waving the white flag!

Silly boy.
Raider red?
He wants to take pictures!
Hats off....
Not a fan of football??
You say what?!?!

My loves!
This is what I look like with two kids....hahaha!!
