Feeling Better

1. Owen's curiosity
Both boys are growing and changing so quickly. Today it was obvious how he is smart, interested, and VERY curious. He also knows exactly what is off limits and immediately crawls right over to those items. This is a picture of him this evening. Yes. He pulled the box to the tree and climbed up. He was able to grab all the ornaments. Needless to say, he was loving life.


2. Cameron is starting to feel better!!!
It has not been the best week at our house, but things are looking up. Cameron felt miserable for the past 72 hours. He broke out in a crazy rash (you might notice it in the picture with the boys in their highchairs), he would not want me to put him down, and he was not able to break his low grade fever. It has been mentally and physically exhausting. This evening he has started to make a change. His rash is starting to go away, no fever, and he played (without me) for a short time. Here is a picture of him tonight making his seductive face. And if you notice, he about to start pointing. So wonderful and so predictable.

3. Coffee and Macaroni & Cheese
This morning I was dreading the day. It had been a hard few days, I haven't had much sleep, and I woke up already on empty. The boys took naps at separate times and though it was nice to have alone time with each of them, it never gave me the much needed quiet time. As a quick surprise Mat brought over Starbucks for me and lunch and dinner for the boys. It helped keep me on my toes and get me through the rest of the day. Now the boys are asleep, the house is picked up, and I finally have quiet.

4. Plates
I decided to start trying plates with the boys. This actually worked out much better than expected. Towards the end Owen wanted to pick up his plate and turn it over but they did great.

5. Vacuum
This evening I picked up the toy room and vacuumed. This is a regular occurrence at our house but MUCH needed since I have been holding Cameron for the past few days. As I put the toys in the toy box Owen proceed to take everything out and throw it on the floor. He was actually quite proud of himself.
