\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>It’s been awhile so my last update. I think of
\n good blog stuff everyday, but just haven’t gotten around to
\n posting. Then I started wondering who was going to bug me about
\n it first. Thanks Joyce!! ;) Just kidding. Life has been busy
\n and I’ve been cranky and highly unmotivated to do anything
\n useful (I did make a fabulous blueberry pie though!!) At the
\n moment Eve is happy and Lex is sleeping, so let’s see if I can
\n get something posted!<\/p>\n

Eve is doing great
\n these days. She’s at a really fun age where she’s alert and
\n social and doing lots of typical baby things, like playing with
\n her toes, blowing raspberries, and scooching around on her back
\n and belly. Can’t crawl, but definitely starting to get mobile.<\/p>\n

Lex is equally fun, but a little more
\n challenging. This morning he came over, gave me a big hug, and
\n said “love you mommy.” Soo sweet! He still has trouble with
\n naps, and I’ve started getting him up after an hour or so if he
\n doesn’t fall asleep. Makes for interesting afternoons, but
\n early bedtimes. :) We got him a new car seat this weekend
\n because Eve outgrew her infant carrier. We got Lex a seat that
\n converts from a car seat to a booster seat and then put Eve in
\n his old seat. He was very happy to help me pick it out and “try
\n it on” at the store. Then he sat in it all weekend in our
\n living room. We put it in the car last night and took our first
\n trip today. He was happy and said, “Lex has a new car seat and
\n Eve has the old car seat.” The new arrangement presents some
\n challenges though, since her carrier was very convenient for
\n shopping, transporting her while asleep, and putting her down
\n to chase Lex when necessary. Without the carrier I have to wake
\n her up to get her in and out of the car and carry her in my
\n arms or in the hip carrier. A little more difficult, but she’ll
\n be walking and running before I know it, so I’ll treasure these
\n moments while I can. :)<\/p>\n

On the parental
\n front, I have been cranky lately because I have to find some
\n form on income and I’m always tired and now I have a canker
\n sore on the tip of my tongue!! It hurts so bad. I’m going to
\n buy some Baby Orajel at the grocery store today. I’ve come up
\n with several income ideas (to be fair my mom came up with most
\n of them ;) ), but none seem to be “the” job. I was all set to
\n do daycare with three interested parties, then they all backed
\n out for one reason or another and I’m kind of back to square
\n one. I feel like I’m stuck in indecision mode and just waiting
\n for some sort of sign or something to tell me what is the best
\n way to proceed. I told Alan last night to just tell me what to
\n do so I can move on. :) He didn’t. Alan is actually over-busy
\n himself, working full-time for his salary job and full-time for
\n his own company. He reached a major push with datdec to switch
\n locations for his servers, and about that same time one of his
\n key guys took off for an undetermined period of time. So now
\n Alan is working serious hours trying to get this server move
\n done in a timely fashion. Someday life will settle down again.<\/p>\n

Eve is no longer happy…. back in a
\n bit…<\/p>\n

She’s so sweet and mellow. Give
\n her a plug and some snuggles and out she goes. Of course, now
\n Lex will be waking up in a few minutes. It’s like they have
\n some sort of connection, when one falls asleep the other wakes
\n up. So I’m going to add in some pictures and wrap this up. I’ve
\n been trying to upload a few cute videos, but YouTube doesn’t
\n seem to be cooperating. Or maybe it’s my new operating system.
\n Or maybe our new Internet connection. Or maybe just user
\n deficiency. We’ll see. I’ll get them up someday anyway. And
\n I’ll try to post a little more often for you folks out there
\n living vicariously through me ;)<\/p>\n

And
\n there he is… my little ones have this asleep\/awake thing down
\n to a science!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
