Sleeping Beauty!

Sleeping Beauty, Maiyah's new nickname at daycare!

My sleeping beauty slept for 11 1/2 hours last night; from 7:30pm until about 7am and then she had her bottle, changed and decided to fall asleep on the bed again. Guess she loves her sleep. I won't complain. Maybe her cereal helped her sleep good too. She had her 3rd try at cereal last night and didn't do too bad. We will keep practicing...

Anxiously awaiting visits with grandparents to show off how big my angels are getting. Hmmm pictures on the blog would do that too huh!

Rolling and Rolling, but now I am stuck!

Maiyah rolled over for the first time on Thursday the 23rd. Although this first roll over was not a happy roll over; she was crying and getting madder by the minute because mommy was trying to finish an email and then she got even madder when she got stuck on her belly. She has been rolling over to her belly since, even when she is happy! She will stay on her belly for a few minutes and prop herself up on her arms for awhile and look around, but then she becomes frustrated and wants to be put back on her back again.

Maiyah also had her first cereal feeding last night, the 26th. She didn't do too bad with it, maybe 10 spoonfuls if that...try again tonight. :) She teased us by sleeping through the night on Saturday night but woke up several times last night, stuck on her belly.

Wow that was a lot of changes in a couple of days, guess we will see what this week brings.

Crazy life

So I haven't gotten pictures up yet, but I promise I haven't forgotten. Life has been pretty crazy, 4 additional people in our house, moving to a new office at work for 6 months and then moving back, and just the usual hetic life of 2 kids.

The best news is my weekend away in September with the bookclub girls is almost here! I can't wait, 3 more weeks and counting.

Updates on the kids (without pictures). Maiyah has now started laughing out loud, yesterday was the first day that Mike and I noticed it and it is too cute. I could listen to her laugh all day long. It brings an instant smile to your face. She has been rolling on to her side for a couple of weeks but hasn't made it all the way over yet. Still waking up once a night, but eats and goes right back to sleep. Daddy has been getting up with her, it has been so nice to sleep through the night. (Although I usually have to nudge him awake to tell him that she is awake).

Nicholas is as busy as ever; talking, talking, and talking. Man he can talk! He continues to be a great big brother and very protective of his little sister. We were at the mall a couple of weeks ago and two kids were coming to the stroller to check Maiyah out. Nicholas got upset, "Mommy they are trying to get Maiyah". Maiyah better watch out, she is going to have Nicholas protecting her for many years. Nicholas has been enjoying our visitors and playing with their 8 year daughter; Misty. But today they are moving into their new house. I am sure Nicholas will be bored without Misty around and looking for some attention.

Life may be crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

No pictures yet!

Well I didn't get a chance to get some photos on this thing yet but I promise I will be working on it.

Mike came home Saturday night from his 2 week long trip, a day late but I am very glad to have him back home. It is like he was never gone, first thing Nick asked daddy to do Sunday morning was make pancakes with him (a very common occurance in our house). So I woke up to pancakes and two happy kids with their dad Sunday morning. The one good thing about not breastfeeding anymore is that daddy can take the kids now and I can sleep in a little. Yay for daddy!

First blog ever!

Okay here goes nothing...but this is harder than I thought. I will get this blog going eventually with the help of many friends. So far now it will be pretty basic!
