Awz...

[summer]

I handed DD off to DH (still in bed) so I could jump in the shower before he did at 7.  I came out to see of them both doze off at the same time, DD laying on DH's stomach.  It made my little heart melt.  I tried to get a picture but DH woke up as I was sneaking out of the room to grab my phone.  Dang it. 

Anyone else have adorable happenings lately?

Today I was moving the ottoman in the living room and it came across my toe nail - it was so painful and I was hopping around looking crazy I'm sure. DD ran up and kept saying, "Mom..is you ok?" It was adorable...one the hurting stopped.

Too cute summer and @uncaripswife

Nothing particularly adorable, but this post is finally going to get me out of noobie status, so can I post something funny instead?

The other day the girls were playing/fighting/playing/fighting and I was reading/intervening/watching/clapping/reading. They disappeared out the door and I called after them to ask where they were going. DD1's response? "Mama, we're going to have a picnic in my room because you're too loud in here. You won't stop talking." whaaaa? And then when I started to follow them, she said, "Mama, you can only come with us if you promise to be quiet."

That might only be funny if you know me, but both my DH and my mom were crying they were laughing so hard because, um, I'm most certainly not loud.

DS telling DD "oh sissy it's okay sissy shhh it's okayyyyy" when she's crying. Or when he helps me burp her so gently. Swoon!

This transition has been full of HARD so I appreciate the sweet moments when we get them.

I hope things get easier soon! Fussy babies are tricky little birds.

Right? It's all about figuring out the nonsensical tricks that comfort them. Like, DD loves being in the rnp in the bathroom with the tub running full blast. Hoookay, little girl. Trial and error!

While that will up your water bill, I think I can give a funnier mental picture. DD1 was an extremely difficult baby, and she went through a phase of about 2 or 3 months when she was maybe 3-5ish months old where walking around with her wouldn't calm her down anymore. Instead, we had to powerwalk. We had a 850 sqft apartment, people, there was not a lot of room to powerwalk. But that was the only way to get that little girl to finally.stop.screaming. and sleep. Picture DH and I striding across our 350 sqft living room in laps trying to avoid furniture. Any decrease in pace caused her to wake up and scream again. We looked pretty dang ridiculous. I guess it's no wonder that I didn't have weight problems after her birth

lol I know, Dh would be so pissed if he knew how much water I've wasted the past month. Usually she will accept the YouTube video of water running sounds (yes this really exists) but sometimes only the real deal will do.

I understand the power walking and can totally picture it. DS's trick was he loved to be bounced so I spent hours and hours and hours sitting on the edge of my bed bouncing him. The mattress has a dip in it to this day LOL fussy babies are a special breed.

DS found a leveler and the fluid in it is yellow. He brought it to me and said "mama this pee" points at the yellow stuff haha! More funny than aww, but I still thought it was sweet in an aww your so silly kind of way.

E put on a fireman's hat today and said "I go to work, make money, pay bills." Apparently I use that as an answer a lot to the "where's daddy" question.

DS has been kind of slow on speech, so this may not be an AW to anyone else. But he and DD were downstairs in the basement playing while I was brushing my teeth this a.m. I heard them fighting/fussing but no one was outright crying so I was letting them play unsupervised while I went about my business. A few minutes later DS came up and kept saying "Dootee" which is his name for his sister (Lucy). So I finally went downstairs with him and realized she was in his little Tykes car and it was knocked over on the side on the floor and she was kind of stuck. He was either telling on his sister for taking the car from him, or was trying to get me to help get her unstuck. Either way, it was a first for him to come to me and ask me to help her out.
