Coming Soon...

Now I have more time to seriously focus on:

Sleep Training
Potty Training
Getting rid of a pacifier
Job Hunting & Resume Skills
Interviewing Skills
Childcare options

All of these topics I will be posting here for questions, help, direction and just sharing my experiences so far and wanting to hear about your experiences as well.

And of course, I'm not going to forget to post pictures of the kiddos. Sometimes I think they're the only reason this blog still exists. I just love all the calls and emails wanting more updates (and reminding me to post Red Chair series)...so your requests have been granted!

In Red Chair Series 2 Months

First of all, I'd like to announce that I PASSED my certification exam!! I just found out a few minutes ago. This is a huge relief!

Now onto the real important matter....Ben is two months!! He is focusing more when he is awake and can hold his head up for a few minutes before he becomes a bobble-head again. He doesn't mind being licked (by Truffle) kissed or squished or poked (by Rémy). He really seems to enjoy bath time and likes to listen to voices. He has had many adventures including going to a birthday party for their cousin Jeffrey. (both Rémy and Ben's first birthday party to attend)

Now that I've passed my exam and will be graduating in a few weeks I'll be posting more often...and plan to put up some pictures of the birthday party soon.

"Let me tell you a few things, brother."

"A few things about fashion." "Ok, sister, I'm listening."

"These shoes, come on." "Uh-huh."

"I'm outta here." "But wait, what about my shoes?"

16 Months In Red Chair

Miss Rémy is 16 months old today! She was up and down and up and down in the red chair...so technically she's not 'in' the red chair. She is adjusting to her role as big sister. She rushes to the rescue to put in a pacifier or help give Ben a bottle if he is fussy.

Vocabulary seems to involve many 'b' words including bee, baby, bo bo, belly, button, bye bye, bath, berries, shoe, sock, fish, bird, ice, cheese, car, outside, bunny, tee tee, diaper, and mama and has started saying my dada, bye dada and hi dada.

She usually lets us know when she needs a diaper and has told me on two occasions she wanted to go potty. She brings such light and laughter to our days!

Our Little Einstein

Well it does seem she inherited something from Einstein...his hair.

Sleep

When the baby sleeps, everybody sleeps.
