I've had a post in the making for awhile now. I keep adding to it a little at a time, and then I'll think "I'll post pictures as soon as the kids go to sleep" and then something else comes up, and then someone gets sick. Yes, again.
We had a month of ear infections, and then it was followed by Eli having some weird cold thing that wasn't too bad during the day, but made him sleep super crappy - and the doctors thought it was due to his reflux. We'll have a few days where people will be good, but I'll be so dead set on then getting out of the house/getting things done around the house. And before I know it, someone is sick again. Now we have some weird stomach bug.
I keep waiting for spring to arrive - because it's supposed to be here - thinking that once it warms up, we'll be good. Buuuuut it has yet to come. Which is bullshit, huh?
For anyone who cares, I'll try to give some cliff notes of what's been going on:
Eli is now 4 months old. Crazy, huh? Crazier yet, Cayden is officially 2 1/2 years old. My baby is now closer to 3 than he is to 2. Eli is sitting up on his own, and laughing and smiling like crazy. He's still a vomit factory, but at the very least it doesn't seem to bother him (just me. Because he always seems to have particularly big vomits out in public) Cayden is talking like crazy and says the most hilarious things (Today he handed me a diaper and told me to poop in it!) We're still potty training. It was going really well, we were even going out in public without diapers! But then he started to regress a little, and then he pooped in a play place, and now with the stomach bug, it's much safer to have a diaper on. We're hoping to "re-jump" things after this illness is over.
Things are flying by. I can't believe I'm 25 with 2 kids. I can't believe how big my kids are. I can't believe that I can look at Cayden and then look at Eli, and I can't remember when Cayden was that small. I do remember though that things didn't go by this quickly with Cayden (probably because I only had one and wasn't so busy.)
Alright, well Eli is having another rough night, annnnd is currently awake, so I'm going to try to get him back to sleep. How are you guys doing? Is it dumb to say I've missed you?
Hey!! I can't believe the bad luck you've had with germs the last months! Time really does fly and it's great to hear you're so happy with your babies.
ReplyDeleteIf you can believe it, I desperately want winter to start here already. It's almost mid-april (so it should be like October weather for you) but we still have temps up to 85°. Maybe Al Gore really is up to something, right?
I hope you get warmer weather and sunshine soon!
