Evie is so funny...I have to write these things before I forget. She wanted to sit at the table today and not in her high chair. I was cutting up her chicken nuggets and scooted her under the table, then she goes, "scuse you, mommy." (she uses that phrase often and at the most appropriate times)
As we speak, she is helping me type on the computer!
Beckett is getting to be more of a handful everyday. He is at that age where he doesn't want to be put down, but he can't get anywhere by himself...frustrating for him, too, I am sure. He still doesn't have any teeth yet, although he slobers everywhere. Evie got teeth at 4 months and never really drolled. Oh, how different they are!
He is still such a HAPPY baby! Even if he wakes up and is still pretty much sleeping, he will smile so big at you and then close his eyes. He also laughs out loud when you make a funny face or tickle him. Such a joy!
My dilema now is how to get naps in for everyone (not including me...I have pretty much just counted that one out). I seriously feel like one of them is always sleeping or waking up or trying to get to sleep or needing to sleep. Its hard because Beckett isn't on a schedule, and when he goes down to sleep during the day, he wakes up after about 45 minutes. I can't let him cry it out, because if Evie is sleeping, I am afraid he will wake her.
And now...FOR A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STAY AT HOME MOM
So today, I got up at 7:15 with Beckett, then he went back down around 8:40, and I fell asleep with him. I woke up at 9:15 and he woke up a couple of minutes later. We went in to get Evie. Who knows how long she had been awake...then we had breakfast. I tried to read my bible while they watched Pop go the Wiggles....but that was a futile attempt. I put Beckett back to sleep around 10:45 and Evie and I played with Play Doh---so much fun. Then Beckett woke up at 11:30...so I fed Evie lunch and got him up, then put her down at 12:15. Beckett hung out with me and then got tired again and I went upstairs to lay him in our room. At this point, Evie had been talking the whole time and it was now 1:45 (I think!). He fell asleep and I got her up..."eat, eat" she said to me, so I brought her down, fed her some nuggets and started typing this email. I put her back down around 2:45, whhich is right after Beckett woke back up. So now she is sleeping, and Beckett and I are laying on the couch...he is yawning and I am watching OPRAH. Its 4:15 and Zach will be home soon. And who says being a stay at home mom isn't hard work? I did manage to unload the dishwasher and return one email----WHEW! what a day?! Oh yeah, and I haven't brushed my teeth or had a shower...wait a sec, did I brush my teeth?

How fun :) Hopefully you'll get their naps synchronized soon and get some "Me" time to relax, shower, scrapbook, email, etc. I miss the baby days so much (when you were talking about Beckett being at that stage before crawling) it makes me think of having another one! ONe day :)
That is a seriously long day lady. I hope that your "hot" husband takes you out for a hot date to thank you!
Man, o man.....reading your blog freaks me out a little. I hadn't thought about what a change it would be to have 2 kids! SO, I'm a tad nervous now, thanks. I'm sure your schedule will get easier, and you will figure out how to get the napping back on a routine. :)
