Another Week Goes By

And I really don't have much to say about it. I have a video I will post when I can get some time. Kailey is loving bouncing in her jumperoo. They didn't have those with Ellie. Matter of fact, they didn't have a lot of things when Ellie was born. No bumbo. No jumperoo. No pink tea party exersaucer. Of course, all those things are now taking over my living room. Along with a dollhouse, some random babies and a homemade paper Hannah Montana microphone. You know, before we had kids, Matt and I would talk about how children didn't need all that stuff. Babies don't need all that equipment, kids don't need so many clothes, toys, vacations to Disney World, etc. Well, fine. I'm eating my words. Cause I'm tripping over toys, the closet is stuffed with my bargain shopping, and of course, we've visited the Mouse twice since Ellie was 2 and plan to return as soon as possible. Good thing we know how to do all of it cheaply :)

We finally threw the baby out of our room. Its about time, she is five months old now. It was just hard. She slept in the swing so long because of her reflux. So we began to transition her back to her cradle. Then she got sick, and has been sick for almost a month. She's finally getting better, but since she can roll both ways, she really had to come out of the cradle. So she's moved into her own room now. Although we still sleep in the rocking chair for a few hours each night. If she gets up to feed, she just can't seem to handle being flat on her back. Oh well, she probably won't go to college still sleeping on me in the rocking chair, so I can handle it a bit longer.

Ellie is way excited for Christmas. She's already put up her little tree, and is begging to put up the big one. I told her she had to wait, but I may cave by next weekend. She has her singing snowman out, and we got Kailey one of her own at Hallmark. Those are just the best christmas decoration I ever bought. She loves them and stays out of my pretty ones. I thought about busting out the Little People Nativity, but I may wait a few more days for that till she's really begging to get the decorations out. She wants to go shopping for Kailey's presents. She just about can't contain herself. Could be a long couple weeks.

I've been thinking about December 1st. We will have been married 6 1/2 years. I didn't get to write a post on our anniversary this year, since I was 9 months pregnant, just got out of the hospital, and had to throw a shower for my SIL. We really didn't even get much of a date. So major hint to daddy-find a babysitter and take me out somewhere. Somewhere that doesn't use crayons. I really deserve it. Really. (and if I don't spell it out, just like that, its not gonna happen)

Life's journey is not to arrive in heaven safely in a well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, with a drink in one hand, shouting "Whoo, what a ride!!"

I think we're doing well so far. At least on the worn out part :)
