Settling In


Ok, sorry its been so long since we've posted anything. Life has been a little hectic with a newborn and almost 2 year old. Every time I think, "Hmm, I need to blog", one of them needs something and then I never get back to it. We have been trying to settle into some sort of routine although we definitely don't have a schedule for Caleb yet. He is still a little young for that. Angie seems to be adjusting to life as a big sister very well. She was not herself last weekend but on Tuesday I noticed that both of her bottom eye teeth had cut through so I think that is what caused her to be shall we say, difficult?

Caleb is growing and getting bigger. I don't know how much he weighs because we haven't gone back to the doctor yet. I am guessing that he is over 8 pounds though because he has outgrown the newborn size clothes and those are supposed to fit babies up to 8 pounds. He's getting a little chunky. He is starting to have more awake time which is fun but its also hard because I want to give him lots of attention and I can't always do that. We have discovered that he needs noise to sleep just like his big sister did so now we have the radio playing in his room at night.

We are getting excited about Angie's second birthday coming up soon. We are going to have an Elmo party (could we really do anything else?). I hope she enjoys her cake more this year than she did last year. She just didn't seem to get into the whole "diving in" thing. She amazes us every day with how much she is learning. I can ask her to repeat almost any word and she can usually do it. So that has made me more cautious about what she watches on TV so that she doesn't pick up words that we don't want her to say.

That's all for now, I was using naptime to type this and I still have more things to do before they wake up!
