Here There and Everywhere

That's what I feel like at times.... that I'm running here, there & everywhere in between. These two little ones keep me busy! Life is full of smiles, laughter, crying, screaming, playing outside on pretty days, diapers and love.

LM is being a great big brother! When he's in the "mood" for it, that is. One afternoon I ran upstairs to grab some diapers. I hear a "thud" and crying. Come running back downstairs, and BB is lying on the floor about a foot in front of his swing. Some little boy who shall remain nameless pulled his brother onto the floor. Luckily, no harm done!

Acting crazy for the camera! He will rarely let me take a good picture. Such a sweet little boy! He'll be 3 next month and I'm still having a hard time believing I'll have a 3 yr old soon. We're taking him to a speech pathologist 2 days a week for some added therapy to try and get him on track with his speech. It's frustrating for both LM and those around him when he can't get the words out.

Silly boy! We're working on going to the toilet. It's a slow process but we're moving forward. I'm not totally sure that he's ready but we'll see how it goes. This child is stubborn so I though it might be best to persuade him to try the potty!! He's going through a phase now that he wants to lay in our bed before he goes to bed each night. And then once he's in his room, he wants someone to lay down with him. We're working on getting out of that habit!

Now, this sweet chunk of love is 4 months old!
He's slowly getting better with TH. (Thank the GOOD LORD!!) Is now sleeping in his room and no longer in the pack n play in our room. Smiles and "talks" all the time. And will "sing" when my mom's trying to put him down for a nap.

Brothers!

They keep each other entertained. Something I'm really looking forward to as they grow older.

TH and one of his sweet boys. (Please excuse the hair, folks!! *eyeroll* ) TH wants to "see how long I can grow it." *EYEROLL!*

"Dude, I got this!" (Is that not what that expression is saying?!)

We put BB in his walker for the first time this weekend. I'm hoping this will make life a little easier around dinner time.... so I can cook with both hands!

This little guy also loves his nightly baths. No matter what kind of mood he's in, when I start undressing him... out comes the smiles and coos! Wait!...he likes his baths or just likes being naked?! :)

I know I've said this before and I'll say it again.... being a mom is the best, most rewarding job along with tiring and just play exhausting. There are so many decisions and choices that comes with being a parent..... breast/bottle, when to potty train, preschool/or not, when to get outside help with speech for instance. It's not always pretty, and I'll bitch from time to time but nothing in this world could make me happier than being the mom of these two little ones (unless it's a 3rd! HAHA! TH & I are still in debate about that one!)
