The Basics

The English major in me won’t let me not capitalize my titles according to the “rules.”  I just had to go back and fix my own title.  I’m such a nerd!

The weekend was good.  Friday was low-key at home.  I did laundry and tidied the house.  Saturday was a visit from Eric’s brother (they went out for lunch and talked about their brotherly things) and then down to C-ville for my niece’s 4th birthday party.  Fun times!  Sunday was mostly hanging out, though I did get the ironing caught up.  I not a fan of ironing.

The babies are doing pretty well these days, too.  Erin is getting super-close to creeping.  She pulls her little knees up under herself, trying to push herself forward.  It’s cute, but man, am I in trouble when they do manage mobility!  And she talks ALL THE TIME.  Just jabbers and blows raspberries and generally makes noise.  It’s so fun!  Alex loves to be in the jumperoo.  He bounces around and laughs…too cute!  They are both eating well, too.  Alex, in particular, will happily keep eating as long as there is food to go into his mouth (picture a baby bird).

Of course, last night we didn’t sleep so well, but mostly we’ve been doing great!  And I figure that, because things are starting to go so smoothly, we are about ready for teething or something else that will disrupt everything.  I mean, if things keep going as they are, I’ll start to think I am getting the hang of this!

And I think that about covers the world according to me.  Today I don’t have much planned.  I have tidied the kitchen, fed the babies their breakfast and put them down for naps, and put a roast in the crockpot for dinner tonight.  So really, I think I deserve to take the rest of the day off! 

Happy Monday!

  1. Hope your nights continue to get better! It’s cute to imagine Erin jabbering away–I love chatty babies (spoken by a not-yet-mom)!

  2. I’m impressed!  And you’re right – as soon as you start to get it, they change it up on you!  Keeps it interesting, I guess!

  3. It sounds like you had a nice weekend! Since you’re getting to be such a pro at being a mommy, you should probably add cleaning my house to your “to do” list. It really needs some help!!

  4. you totally deserve the rest of the day off!  (and you reminded me that i FORGOT to put in a roast–it’s too late now! ack!)

    i love that erin talks so much.  i think she and baby c would get along famously.

  5. Man you are one productive mama!  Nice job!  Glad you had a good weekend and gotten alot done today already!  You should take the day off   You deserve it!
