Day two of seven

Today didn't go as well. The baby didn't sleep much and the girls also didn't sleep. Layla yelled and kept Hannah up, then she pooped. She ended up sleeping for an hour, but Adam was up, so no nap for me. Layla is also very clingy right now because of teeth and her cold so that is really hard on all.

Thanks to Candice and Carley for helping out this weekend. The did come play with the girls so that was nice. They are 13 and 15 so the chance to make some money was good for them.

I got 5 hours of sleep last night. On to day three...........

Day one of seven

Done. The baby slept a lot today. He was fussy whenever he was awake so maybe growing?

The girls were ok. They got up early and took early naps, but they hung in there.

I got 4 hours of sleep last night and a half hour nap. on to day two..........

Bye Bye Daddy

Matt is leaving tomorrow for 8 days. If you cannot see my tears, I assure you they are there. We have some people lined up to help out throughout the week so that will be good. With the girls having colds and the baby, I need all the help I can get.

Layla

Someone asked me how Layla was doing and I realized I had not updated in a while. Layla is doing awesome. We are going to trial dairy with her again this month and hope she passes this time. If not - we can't try again until she is 3. She still takes prevacid and we will try to wean her again sometime next year. I am not trying that until after the holidays since she is doing so great and I know she will get a lot of foods she hasn't had before this holiday season.

Layla is such a joy. She is a very happy toddler and very sweet and funny. She says over 100 words and even started stringing words together, so she is doing great. She climbs everything and is very coordinated and strong. She rarely fusses unless she is being bothered or she can't get something she wants. Even now, she has a terrible cold, but she is still in a pretty good mood. Her newest words are treat (thanks to Halloween candy) cookie and hot dog. She constantly suprises us with more things she knows and just says. When she wants to be held, she says "Got you". When she wants to go to bed, she says "night night". When she wants to eat she says "bite" or "high chair". She says "juice" is she is thirsty. She is just amazing. She is my momma's girl and we have a very special bond and I hope always will. She makes me smile even on my worst days.

Sleeping

So I am a bad mommy and started putting Adam on his belly to sleep for naps. He has done much better this way. He actually sleeps without the noisy breathing and constant refluxing. He does still have some reflux/colic that might wake him, but a paci and a few tush pats usually gets him back to sleep. I did laundry today and cleaned my bathroom (it was gross). I ate lunch at lunchtime and relaxed on the couch for a little bit. Bliss.

Fall Fun

The girls have enjoyed the beautiful fall weather these last few days. It is going to get cold this week so we know this was a special treat!

Adam weighed 10lbs 10oz at his appointment this morning. He is 22.5 inches long. Other than the reflux and airway issues, he is a healthy guy. He holds his head up pretty well for 1 month and accidentally rolls over (belly to back) every once in a while. Sometimes he is on the floor fussing and then - silence. Once he rolls he gets quiet probably because he is in shock :) Adam is a fairly awake baby so we have lots of time to hold or play. He doesn't spit up buckets like Layla, so that makes it possible to play with him a little more. He is still pretty fussy after eating and when he gets over tired, but he is pretty little. He is loosing his hair in front - poor little guy. This happened to Hannah and she looked like an old man for a few months until it grew back. Looks like Adam will have the same fate.

Halloween

My little guy - didn't care at all that it was Halloween. Hannah and her little friends. She and Matt went there for a party and more trick or treating after Layla was done. She had so much fun.

Hannah and the neighbors (Abbey and Ashley)

The whole family. I look terrible and tired, please forgive me since I really only get about 3 hours of sleep a night.

Hannah and Papa. I am waiting on the pictures of Layla and Papa.

My Minnie Goose. She was so happy to just be outside and walking around. It was so fun.

My pretty princess.
