Catch-up

Finding time to sit down and write..... I think about it often but just never make myself do it. After the kids are down napping, I either 1. Take a nap myself, or 2. Do house wifey duties. And let's be honest, a lot more of number one than number 2. But..... One day my boys won't nap any more, so I must nap while I can.... Right?

Why do I feel like that was yesterday? It really does amaze me how fast time is flying.I have been having baby fever a bit..... But two is plenty. I know this, and know its best for us.... But my uterus doesn't listen.
Many friends have been having babies this spring and I know that has things stirred up.

We are headed out of town for two weeks to see family, then we will be home for about 10 days before we head off the the bay, & then DC. Should be tons of fun!

Things the boys are up too.
We got our first bikes & helmets. They are a huge hit.
We have had a slight bump in the road with potty training.... Pooping is an issue, we are working on it.
Holden loves anything that is yellow... He finds yellow things everywhere we go- and points them out saying "yellow". He also can name the shapes star and circle.
Owen love love loves puzzles & playing memory- or "making matches" as he calls it. He like to play by himself. He likes to sing the abc's, you are my sunshine(Holden is starting to sing this too) & patty cake, ring around the Rosie, monkeys jumping on the bed, itsy bitty spider, and wheels on the bus.. Owen can also spell his name now. He is so excited to learn new things I'm thinking I need to get in the attic and pull out some of my teaching stuff.

We are planning on moving the boys into what is now our guest room. It will be nice because they will have room to play in there too. So mama can have part of her house back. ;) the best part.... I will have so much fun designing their "big boy/toddler room".

We meet with a feeding team next month to discuss Holdens low weight. The dr wants to rule out any sensitivity to textures. We and our dr believe that he is just going to be tall and skinny- he is in the 90% for height but at the very bottom in weight. He is obviously growing, but he is just skinny. He is very active, and never stops. So he burns off everything he eats. His favorite foods are also fruits and vegetables which make it hard to gain weight. He will have a full evaluation just to make sure we aren't missing anything.

Well it's 1:30, so I must try to go to sleep. I'll post pictures soon. I'm on the iPad and don't have anything current.
