We had a busy but fun weekend. My nephews Shane and Tyler stayed with us (my brothers kids). Lexi loved the company and was quite worn out after the weekend was over. Here are a few pictures of the three of them.
This is Lexi on the run. She is supposed to be going to the car but often decides that I need to chase her. She turns around to give a sweet smile! I'm sure you moms have had your fare share of exercise trying to catch up with your toddler as they take off in the grocery store, or anywhere else for that matter. Lexi will laugh and run. I must look ridiculous half of the time, trying to catch up with her. I am amazed at how the silliest things become a game and are so exciting for kids. Rather than get frustrated I have to remind myself to lighten up and have fun! I so want to enjoy every moment and take the advice of many that say "it goes fast"! I cherish these years and hope that I can make a constant effort to slow down and not get caught in the rat race of life!!!
My sweet Matthew! I can hardley believe that he is almost three months old. He is growing fast and I am enjoying every minute of it. He is almost fifteen pounds and quite the little chunk. I was suprised tonight when I tried some new pj's on him that were a size 6M. I thought they would be a bit big, but nope! they fit him perfectly!!
He is smiling and becoming more interactive every day. I love it! He is eating well obviously and has just started sleeping between 6 and 7 hours a night, which I praise the Lord for - What a guy!!!
I have been blessed with good sleepers. Considering that Lexi has taken two naps up until recently and goes to bed with ease. She probably would continue with the two naps, but I didn't feel I could be consistent enough with it. I am not a huge schedule person but do make sure we get the naps at the same time everyday and that bedtime is the same. They need their sleep to grow!!! And of course I need mine!!! I am sure that is part of the motivation!!!
Here are some updated pictures of Lexi and Matthew. Lexi is going to be two in two months and I can hardley believe it! She keeps up entertained and on our toes. Her latest accomplishment: She is now potty trained!! Yippeee! I followed the advice of Holly and Sabrina and wow! It only took about a week.
As for Matthew - He is now 9 weeks old and has reached 14lbs. He is a little chunk and such a sweet little guy. I have had quite a busy month, and will write more soon.
