I’ve been a little bit busier these days with the start of my new part time work from home job. I’m doing data entry for my old employer – an anesthesia billing company. I specifically bill for a few hospitals in the West Tennessee area. I work about 4 hours a day, most of the time when the kids are sleeping. It definitely cuts down on my fun time. So as such, here are a few snippets and pictures of our days.
Most importantly, Samuel combat crawled this morning! Things are about to get interesting. I’ll be vacuuming more for sure.
The other day I gave Ruthie some premie diapers to play with instead of the ones they are currently wearing. I figured every girl had to diaper their baby doll. All went well until we put her to bed that night. Getting out of bed has been a nightly deal and one that we strive to curtail. I regress. We checked on her one evening in an attempt to get her back in bed rather than playing and Joel found two of her premie diapers in complete shreds on the floor. Note: The gel in the diapers makes the dry fibers stick to everything. I made her clean up every last piece.
A few nights after the previous episode, Joel went in to check on her and found about 20 or so wet wipes on the floor and in the trashcan. Why the child thinks she needs to pull them all out is beyond me.
Samuel’s 6th tooth has made a partial entrance in the last week.
Both kids have had sinus crud since Saturday. Sleeping has been sporadic as well as eating. Attitudes have been all over the map.
Chickens are all the rage in our house with Ruthie. I can’t wait for her to collect eggs and play with Momga’s chickens during Thanksgiving.
Samuel is saying “mama” and “dada” now. I initially thought he was just starting to play with sounds but yesterday it dawned on me that he knew exactly what he was saying. He says it on occasion when you approach to pick him up.
And now for the pictures. Some are not the greatest but I wanted you to see either Samuel’s green eyes, his chompers, Ruthie’s cheesy toothy grin, or them playing together. Having them so close has been difficult but I love to see them playing together like they are in the laundry basket. Enjoy.
