What Cuties!

My Cuties

I just have to say that I have the cutest little girls and I can't get over how cute they have been this week which is also why last night was the worst night we've had in a while. Claire is getting a friction burn from her diaper and is very sensitive and cranky, while Shay has nothing wrong but decided she needed to wake up a lot in the night screaming bloody murder. It just takes a cute week to allow us to deal with terrible night sleeps I guess and they knew it since that was exactly what this week was. I now have a crawling baby that follows me around when I go from room to room, and a toddler that drags me all over the house. I officially can't go to the bathroom without my girls coming to watch me, I feel like a mom threshold has been crossed.

Claire

Some of this week as been great, but then the last few days have been awful because of the little boo-boos she has got around her waist. I want to take care of her and fix all her pain and it was so hard to have her cry in pain when it was new and fresh. Luckily once we bandaged it she felt a lot better and was able to play like normal, running around and making messes like the tornado she is. We still try to get outside even though this week has been getting colder and the leaves in our back yard are the girls favorite to play in and get in their cloths so they end up in my house. At least they are having fun and we get to enjoy the outdoors. I also had her fall asleep on me while we were cuddling on the couch! It was so sweet and I loved remembering how she used to sleep on me all the time.

Shay

My sweet little cruiser is so mobile (except when in a dress) that we have to be careful what we leave on the floor! She picks up so much of my hair and when she locks eyes one something new she hasn't seen will be line to that object, especially food. She loves trying the food we eat and in the past week has tried enchilada sauce, mac and cheese, ramen noodles, and popsicles. Her sharp two bottom teeth are lethal though so anyone willing to put their fingers close better be careful! She can pull herself to standing now and does so often to let me know she doesn't like when I sit up on the couch while she is on the floor. I can see her starting to lift up a foot while standing and think she is already starting to try to walk, or at least going to be walking with support soon. She still likes playing hide and seek with Claire and me and LOVES peekaboo or playing with wipes on the floor, ya know, normal baby games.

Chris

Work consumed three nights in a row and made us both excited for the Thanksgiving vacation we get this coming week. We will be going up to visit my parents and Chris is being a good husband and hasn't complained about having to drive for a long time or go to the cold of Montana. He is such a fun daddy and often lets the girls crawl all over him while he lays on the floor and often gets up in the night to help them when they cry. We have a good trade off with the girls because I'm a morning person and wake up with them unless I don't sleep well which means he gets the night shift. I think it is just easier for him to fall back asleep after waking up, but we make a great parenting team. Unfortunately, we still haven't heard about acceptance into PA school so we are still praying and hoping that soon they will send them out and we can start our plans.
