Hanging Out At Home

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately! Life with two has been busy, busy, busy and I haven't taken as many pictures as I would like. . . . . . With all of our visitors gone and Matt back to work, the kids and I are finally settling into a daily routine - yay!

We had some issues with Michael being colicky and not sleeping very well (which meant that Mommy wasn't sleeping very well!), but thanks to a great tip from a friend, and the purchase of "The Miracle Blanket", all of that has worked itself out - - yes, that really is the name of the blanket, and yes, it really does work miracles!! (Thanks again Rachel!!) Michael is a much happier baby now, which has Mommy and Daddy thrilled! He's also finally letting us put him down for short periods of time without screaming about the injustice of it all :)

Hannah has adjusted well to being a big sister, but not so well to being two! In typical toddler fashion, she has taken to throwing herself on the ground kicking and screaming for reasons only she can understand. . . . for example: "I threw my sippy cup on the floor but I still want it in my hands but I must absolutely not bend down and pick it up so I will throw myself down in a monster temper tantrum instead". It's truly lovely! Luckily, being that she is only two and has the attention span of an ant, we can usually distract her and cheer her up without too much drama! :)

While enjoying some tummy time this morning, Michael decided to take a little snooze. . . . . .

Hannah helped Mommy make pasta for dinner the other night by "cooking" the noodles in a tupperware dish full of water and generously sprinkling oregano into the mix - yum!
