It is crazy how much I don't feel like blogging anymore. Sorry! I know I am not the only one though because some of you are just as bad as me. :) I still love to check out everyone else's blog but I am never in the mood to update mine. I think I finally have figured out how to manage two kids and a dorm. Things have definitely gotten a ton better for me. I was hitting some post partum depression for awhile. I think the stress of a new semester and two kids was just too much for me. I think going on that cruise was a wonderful break for me. It gave me the energy to come back and do better. I am trying to keep a positive attitude about everything and enjoy my time with my kids. I love being a mom and love that I can spend all day with them. They are just so cute. :)
I love watching Aaron and Kaylee interact with each other. Sometimes Aaron will do something silly and it will make Kaylee laugh. I love those moments. Here are some updates on my kids.
Aaron - shortly after Aaron's 2nd birthday we made the big switch of letting him sleep in a big bed instead of the crib. For the first month he did great. He went to bed when we put him down and he stayed in bed until we came and got him. Then it finally hit him. Nothing was keeping him in that bed. He could get out whenever he wanted. Now we are struggling with putting him to bed because he will keep coming out of his room for 2 hours after bed time. Sometimes I find him sleeping right in front of the door. It is pretty cute though when he gets out of bed and lies down next to the door and sticks his hand out.
With Aaron in the big bed we have the crib set up for Kaylee. We tried to let them sleep in the same room together but it was very hard because they would wake each other up. Aaron would sometimes climb into bed with Kaylee and wake her up. No one was getting sleep in our house. So now I have Kaylee sleeping in the pack n play in the living room. Sometimes Aaron gets up in the middle of the night to play and one morning I found him asleep back in the crib.
We are slowly working on potty training Aaron. I haven't made the official switch to underwear yet but every once in a while I let Aaron sit on the potty so he can get the idea. It was funny one day when he tried to get on the potty himself and some how pull the seat out from under him and he fell in. He wasn't quite sure what to do and mommy and daddy just pulled out the camera and laughed. :)
Kaylee - She is now 5 months old and is a very easy baby. She is very patient with mommy when she needs to take care of her demanding older brother. Kaylee smiles at everyone who pays attention to her. She loves to suck on anything and everything and is always drooling. She doesn't roll over yet but she can sit up all by herself for about 10-15 seconds. She loves playing with Aaron's toys. Aaron keeps reminding Kaylee that she needs to "share" as he takes those toys away from her. Overall she is a very happy girl and we are blessed to have her in our family.
Winter is almost here and it has already snowed a few times (luckily it didn't stick around). When it did stick to the ground I pulled out Aaron's snow gear and let him go outside. He wasn't quite sure what to do with the snow but he liked it.
Kaylee is so sick of lying around. I can tell that she wants to get up and play with the rest of us. She must have some killer ab muscles because she is always lifting up her head like she wants to sit up.
My little princess!
I have two adorable kids and I love them very much!
