Feeling a bit lazy

So, my kids crawl everywhere! They are starting to move faster, they pull themselves up and walk along furniture.
Jei and I have to chase them down every five seconds! It's insane. At least they still take two naps a day.

I am starting to feel drained, as I am sure Jei is starting to feel that way too. I cannot believe how much more drained and unenergized you feel having kids.
I just sit around playing games while they are sleeping, I never take naps. That's probably a bad idea, but I know if I take a nap I will just want to sleep longer than the kids will let me and then I will be all grumpy.

At least they still sleep most of the night. To bed at around 7pm then up at 8am sometimes 10am, if we are lucky. People are always amazed by this, but if you get you kids on a schedule and keep it, it helps immensely!! I just asked the doctor and he advised me on the subject, I did as he said and have ever since. My twins sleep all night and take two naps a day. So, fortunately I get quite a few breaks!

It still wears you down, especially when they go crawling in opposite directions.

Until next time.

Some weird bug!

So I forgot to mention that my son got pretty sick a little bit ago! He had vomit and diarrhea going on. I know some of you are like omg, that's sick, but it's part of being a parent!
Anyways, a just in case, if your child gets diarrhea really bad and starts getting a rash that diaper rash cream just doesn't help at all. You should try the Aquaphor/ Maalox concoction!

I know that sounds really weird. What you do is buy some Aquaphor from any store like Walgreens, buy a cheap thing of Maalox, or an off brand Maalox type liquid antacid. Mix it together, take your time. Try to store it in a sealable container. When you use it, apply directly to the area effected by covering evenly with the mixture. This should handle a rash that diaper rash cream can't!

I, fortunately did not have to use this, but my sister had to use this on my nephew. He probably has more sensitive skin than my son. Bastien, didn't even get a rash. He vomited quite a bit, but not too much we couldn't handle it!

Well, I thought that I would post this little tid bit for any mother's having this issue!!

Until next time,

Ready to eat by MYSELF!

Okay, so both my little buggers are picking things up and eating them on their own!
Bastien doesn't like it at all when you try to feed him with a spoon. No walking yet, lots of crawling and pulling themselves up. They love it when I brush their little zooba zoobs, what I call teeth! lol

I was using the finger brush.

Now we've moved onto a toddler brush.

They really enjoy it and don't chew on it as much as I thought they would!
I sing a little song about "brushing our teeth" when I brush their teeth. I have found out that if I brush their teeth after they eat and right before bed, it will help them get used to not going to bed with a bottle, which I know is bad to do.

I can't wait until they are walking around and able to do so much more! I would love to go camping and stuff. Whoo!



I love the outdoors. Camping, hiking, even fishing!

I will be sooooo excited when I can do all of that again. Just this last summer we didn't do anything like that because the kids were so small and Jei and I were always freaking out about the kids. I am hoping this year will be a lot better and that we will actually be able to go camping, at the least! Oh!
We live rather close to Navoo also! I would love to take the kids horse back riding when they bacame old enough. There is just soooo much I want to do with them!
So many plans.

Like I would love to be able to take them to Disney Land, Disney World, Six Flags, and Worlds of Fun. I really would love to take the kids on a family vacation to Branson during the summer when they are old enough!

Honestly, there is just so much to do and see. I want to show my kids everything and just enjoy my time with them.
I don't understand how any one can hurt a child, I just want to do everything for mine!!

Well, I've blabbed enough for now!

Until next time.
