So … yea. The days, they go by. Really quickly. Summer is always like that for us, but this seems doubly so, what with two little ones to keep up with.
The kids are doing well. I keep meaning to sit Tabby down for a little video interview, but as the child never sits still, it is difficult. She continues to talk up a storm and I can hardly believe the funny stuff she comes up with. Her most recent acquisition is a pair of Barbie roller skates that she is thrilled beyond thrilled with. And she can now be seen scooting along in our kitchen with her bunny rabbit helmet on. What? We have to have the floors refinished anyhow.
Meanwhile, at less than 3 months old, Ben has doubled his birth weight and is now 15 lbs!! He's long too and I am thinking he'll be out-growing his infant carrier well before his first birthday. After carrying him for over an hour in our Bjorn last weekend, my back was killing me, so this week I invested in a Beco so he can go on the back (once he has full control of his head … which is already at like 95%) and I am VERY happy with it. He is very alert and terribly charming and fun. Our little people are amazing!!
Matt and I are doing well too. We're both diving head first into workouts at the moment. Matt had the bright idea to run the Music City Marathon (not until next April and we haven't actually signed up yet!), so we're getting our butts in gear. The good news is that I finally feel like I can run with purpose … not fast yet, but longer at least. In any case, I'll take it!
And now it is time for bed!!
OMG a video interview of Tabby would be adorable.
All Olivia wants to do now is walk also. Walk walk walk.
Yay for head holding up skills. Go Ben. Yeah Olivia grew out of her carrier by her first birthday too.
Good luck with the race!
So glad everyone is doing well. And your 3-month-old weighs more than one of my 9-month-olds!
A video interview! What an excellent idea!!
I took a video of Jack and I talking last week, but it was mainly me trying to capture him saying 'watermelon'. Nothing interesting.
Can't wait to see your interview with Tabby!
Holy cow that boy of yours is healthy! I swear baby boys' number one job is to get as much food as super-humanly possible in their bellies as fast as they can.
Hope the feeding situation is better for you and you are not having to work round the clock to feed him.
