The truth: My little is an early bird...which means no more early morning mommy time. Having two litte ones I find little time to write a post....though I think I will miss not being able to go back and read. Currently it is 6 am...and dad just got done feeding Lucas and he is now babbling in his crib at his sun crib toy which is signing to him. Today he slept in. Yep...you read that right. He enjoys waking between 4:45 and 5am on most days. We rotate who gets up with him and when I do.....I love that time. He is a very cuddly little guy. He will wrap himself around you snuggling right into the crook of your neck. What a sweet little guy. Little though may not be the right word anymore. He is now 8 months and weighs almost 22 lbs. He has very few rolls though since he is so long. I haven't measured him in awhile, but at his 6 month appt he was in the 97% for height. I wont be surprised if next Christmas he is taller than his sister, who is in the 50%. I completely anticipate that everyone will think he is older than Leah at some point due to height. I have already been asked if they are twins....which I thought was ridicoulous.
Things have been pretty status quo around here. Working fulltime and having two kids age 2 and under keeps me very busy. I wont say it is harder having two littles, it just takes a lot more time to accomplish one thing. Lucas has started crawling so I'm guessing it will take even longer now. Leah is realizing that he can now crawl over and get her toy...which she isnt too fond of right now.
We have also been passing around a cold for 3 months now. I have been sick three times and the kids are on their second cold. Mike has escaped all the colds, lucky guy. I've had it with cold season and may need a padded room if I get another one. Lucas had a double ear infection and didnt cry a bit! He wanted to be held more but that was it. I couldnt believe when the doctor said he had an ear infection....what a little tropper.
My gram has also been ill this fall and has now moved into a nursing home. We are grateful she is still here with us though it is sad knowing she is in more pain and in a place that doesnt feel like home. We can only pray that God will welcome her to her eternal home and give her peace and relief from her suffering.
I will post pictures and more about Christmas. The kids were very blessed by everyone and now there playroom is full of toys. It is hard trying to incorporate the true meaning of Christmas with a two year old but she did learn that is was Jesus's Birthday. I often heard her signing Happy Birthday this month...which I thought was very dear.
