I am a stay at home mom of a sweet little girl and her little baby brother! Madison was born in July 2004, and my life hasn't been the same ever since. I love staying home with her and Jonah and watching them change a little more with each day!

keeping busy! (+ more pictures!)

Check out my cool new seat I got from John & Brenda!


Madison can use it too... that makes it super duper cool! It's a toddler rocking chair up to 40 lbs... she will still be using it in 2nd grade at the rate she is growing, hehe!


Chilling on the diaper changing pad... this is where I spend a lot of my time!


Ppbbbtttthhhh!


Read the shirt... and obey! (This was a perfect gift from Jim & Gina!)



We are doing pretty awesome over here! Well, except for keeping things neat and tidy anyway. That was enough of a chore with a 2 year old... it's nearly impossible now! I try to get things picked up and Jonah starts crying. I bought the wrong size Hotsling, so I need to get a smaller one. Once I get that (tonight?) it should be easier, assuming he enjoys hanging out in it while I get some things picked up. He seemed to like the one I have, it was just too big... or I am too short. Well, I was off on the weight too... I forgot how much weight I would lose after the baby was born. I'm currently 14 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight.

So Jonah sleeps like a baby, hehe. I have been getting at least one good 4 hour stretch each night. Well, I was until he hit that pesky 2 week growth spurt. That has gone for a couple of nights now though, so it should go back to normal any day now. His pooping seems to be tapering off a bit too. LOL! Whew... there for awhile I thought we were going to be spending half of his life at the changing table. It must feel good to poop into free air... okay, sorry, enough with the poop talk. He is doing tummy time now and he can turn his head from side to side. Strong boy!

And of course, Madison is a great big sister! She reads stories to him while he sits in his bouncy or swing so I can get things done. He loves the sound of her voice and just listens and watches her. It's very sweet.

Okay... I guess I should be taking advantage of Jonah's napping to get some things done around here!

Sounds like your boy is going to be a streaker just like ours! He loves being naked on his changing table...favorite place to be! :)

Those growth spurts are a blast, aren't they? We're gearing up for the two month growth spurt. They seem to be tapering off in intensity, so hopefully it'll go by practically unnoticed! :)

How exciting that he likes his sling! Cole hated it! I'm waiting until he can hold his head up and sit in it and maybe he'll like it better. Of course, by then, I can just put him in his walker or swing! :) Needless to say, I'm doing pretty much no cleaning right now. Thank God for Andrew!
