Liam loving life......

ahem.....I mean his swing! Yes, this is his new favorite thing. He looks up at the mobile above and smile and talks away. While he is loving this...I am getting pooped (thought I would use a nice word)!

I can't complain in the way of how blessed I am to have a great family but life now is sooooo busy. Between at least three doctors appointments a week between myself and the kids, physical therapy for my foot (next weeks I start three times a week), and trying to keep up at school...not to mention picking up around the house (cleaning can wait :) ) and then trying to get sleep and spend time with each kid and Travis....Zzzzzzzzz....oops sorry I dozed off there for a moment. Concentrating is becoming more and more difficult as well as having any type of memory. I hope Liam starts sleeping thorough the night sooner than later as that would help ALOT!!!!! I miss sharing nights with mom.

That being said...I am off to bed for an hour or two to regenerate and then hit the books for a few hours and then off to get the kids from Rose and go shopping for the graduation after party food and get Madison ready for the ceremony DEEP BREATH. Wish me luck!

One last thing....first big test last night i got an 84. Not too bad but not great either as she has made it clear that this would be the easiest test this semester.

Liam loves his big sister

Madi was singing to him making him smile
I don't know who is in awe of who??

tummy time under blankets

Yesterday I survived my first day alone with two kids! Two of my own that is. I have to say I am exausted...not because of Liam I dont think but because Madison was is rare form and non stop yesterday. Wait a minute....she is always non stop! I managed to take a shower in time for the photographer to come to the house for Liam's free picture before 9 a.m., sterilize all bottles, get Madison dressed, do a load of laundry and get both kids in the bath and in bed by 9! I now tons of people do this every day but now that Mom is gone, I am trying this on my own routine :) Yes...I have been spoiled by mom.

This brings me to my next point. Lots of tears since she has been gone. I miss her so much and value all the time we had to spend together. I am so greatful that she was able to be here to witness the birth and many of Liam's first's. This time has been priceless to me and to the rest of the family. Thank you mom....I love you!

I forgot to post....

Liam had cereal for the first time on Wednesday. He loved it and screamed when it was all gone. I was trying it out because he was only lasting two hours at night. I figured if I give him one teaspoon at night we can see how it goes. He went 4 hours between feedings :)

He loves his daddy!

Twins???

Sucking his thumb

Love my girl!

Look at the fuz on his head :)

She loves her baby brother

Enough said......

Our little girl is off to Kindergarten...sigh

Well it's official.....no more preschool tuition!!!! Never thought this day would come so soon. Madison's last day of school was Friday and her official cap and gown graduation is this coming Friday. She is very excited she is going to Kindergarten but she wishes she did not have to get shots to do so. Yes, we had the 5 year check up this morning along with 4 shots and a finger stick. She is 3ft 9in in the 90th percentile and 47 pounds, also in the 90th. She did fail her hearing test on the right side due to fluid build up we have been dealing with for some time. He did say it is as thick as glue now so I will need to prioritize the ENT doctor appt. As a funny last note as tears were rolling down her face she looked at me and said I wish we could throw away all needles. I told her unfortunately we can not so she then said...well then I wish there were no needles in Florida and they only had them in Georgia, Maryland and where Grammy lives......I had to laugh!
