Updates!

Lately our evenings have been so crazy, that by the time the babies are in bed my body and brain are all but paralyzed and I don't have the energy to put my pajamas on, let alone all the housework and everything else I need to be doing. I don't know what is sucking all of my energy (I'm sure the TX heat is part of it), but the babies have been a lot more high maintenance than usual, and since they are crawling I am just following them around all over the house removing them from rooms, putting stuff they have pulled out of drawers back, trying to find ways to entertain them so they don't have time to get bored and fussy. It seems they are so tired/hungry/thirsty/bored from the time we get in the door at 5:30. Why are babies so fussy around dinner time? On the weekends and when we are together all day, it is the same- they seem much more mild tempered all day and always get fussy around dinner time! I cherish that time with them in the evenings, but it has been a little rough lately!

In other news... Lilly's fever went away, but no tooth yet either! That sucker has been right there on the surface forever!! I would take her to the doctor if she had any sign of something being wrong, but she is perfectly fine- just fussier than normal!

We now have forward facing babies! Brian turned all of our car seats around last weekend. I love that I can just look back and see them and they can see me! I could have left them rear facing longer, but my husband is very tall and was having a very hard time trying to shove himself in my car and his truck. Nate and Lilly have always loved the car for the most part, so I don't think they mind either way! They seem to like looking forward, but yesterday I saw Nate trying to look out the back window, like "wait, I am used to looking out back there!".

One more thing- these one year old babies have officially been off formula since their birthday and drinking good ol' Vitamin D-filled whole milk! I put most of the bottles away but still use them at night every once in a while. The rest of them will probably be put away this weekend. I was so relieved to not have to wash the 5 piece Dr. Brown's bottles anymore, but now I am washing 3 or 4 piece sippy cups! What's the difference?!? AHH!

After all is said and done, at the end of the day I have these chubby cheeks to squeeze and kiss all over so I can't complain too much!
