Overwhelmed




Its been so long since I've posted and I'm so tired even writing this but I say that all the time so its no different than any other time of the day. I feel like the kids are growing sooo fast and days just pass by like nothing because Im working and theres never time to sit and relax. God, I cant wait for the summer to be here!!! At least next week is the week before spring break and we have 10 days to hang out in our pajamas all day if we want to. I definently chose the right profession to be in as a working mom. Im home before 3 on most day and get to spend time with the kids before they go to bed so its wonderful.

THey're getting bigger my the second. I took jake to the doctors today and he weighs 16lbs and 11.5 ozs. Last week he weighed 16 lbs and 4ozs. He eats like a maniac and loves every bit of food that I put in front of him. He's gotten two little teeth on the bottom and of course he's biting everything he could get his hands on. His sleeping has improved SOOOO much! I feel like a normal person most of the time. He did a complete 180 when we out him in his crib. We waited so long because originally Tess and him were going to share a room but his sleeping pattern was insanely crzy so we didnt want to wake her up all the time. So until he was 6 months we kept him with us in the pack'n'play. Looking back, all the poor thing wanted was room to move around in and we didnt realize that. But in any case, thank God he LOVES his crib and now he's got his own room and Tess has her's.

Tess is gettting smarter by the minute. I AM NOT KIDDING when I say that tonight she sang the ABC song with almost every letter! Im going to video it because it sounds like Im lying but she sang it with the right tune and letters. And then at the end she sang, "next time wont you sing with me." Did every syllable come out, no, but she tried to say every word and we knew exactly what she was doing. This was the first time I had heard her do this and I almost fell on teh floor. The girl says more words than I know what to do with. Shes putting 2 and 3 words sentences together and its the coolest thing in the world to see. She's growing up and I love watching her play with her dolls and interact with kids her age. Its amazing how much I love her and Jake-there are no words to describe how deep our love is for our children. Its amazing.

Rob and I are doing good. His business is doing fine and I'm working (but wish I wasnt). To All of my many followers-I miss you and would love to spend time with you. Once the spring vacation comes and especially summer then we will definently play. I'm barely keeping my head above water...or at least how it feels most of the time.

Jake's Laugh

Even though this was in the beginning of January there is nothing better than hearing my son laugh and smile. He's the second love of my life.

She repeats everything!!

She says so MANY words on her own at this point but the other night (which was before her haircut) she was repeating everything we say and we were laughing so hard!! Here's just SOME of the words!

Tessas First Haircut

We had no choice but to give in. Her hair HAD to be cut because it was too long and it looked shaggy. It definently looks much better but her bangs were butchered!!! None the less she still looks like my beautiful little angel!

Blessings

I sit here as both of my children sleep at the same time and think, "I am blessed." I am blessed to have both of them sleeping at the same time. I am blessed to have two healthy children who bring utter joy to my life (although a severe lack of sleep). I am blessed to have a husband who provides for me and our two children. I am blessed a thousand times over. I dont understand why so many bad things happen in this world but I know at this very moment I feel complete and satisfied with my life and I am grateful to be able to have that feeling. I am sure I will need to draw back on this feeling one day in order to get through difficult times but for now...I am simply, happy.
