...before they hatch.
Here are a few pictures to illustrate why my life might get a little easier sometime soon. Today was the first day Leah picked a toy and carried it around with her all day. Meaning, she didn't get tired of it quickly. This COULD mean that I start to get more time out of her toys. Also, Paige held her bottle today. I'm still nursing but I'm all too excited to stop- you know after three years of pregnant-nursing-pregnant-nursing (Amy- you can relate!). Plus since Paige sits up very well now, she doesn't cry as much. Toys will keep her preoccupied for a little while, until she notices I'm not there anymore-- it's something!
With all this said, I totally love my girls. Parenting has been a challenge lately but it doesn't mean that they aren't the cutest and best things that ever happened to Doug and me.
This was a good toy for Leah to play with. She would "draw" and pay so much attention to "detail" and then erase and start over. Very fun to watch.

I remember those days! Try filling a large bowl with rice, placing it on a large sheet (so when they spill it you can just fold it up and put it back in) and then hiding things in it for them to find. This was a favorite of my daughters when she was that age and we spent a lot of time inside.
Our favorite hidden object was the electric toothbrush because it vibrated until she could find it. This helps babies because it gives them a hint.
It's kinda like an indoor sand box but a lot less messy. It helps kill some time!
its good to hear paige isnt crying as much. Hopefully you can keep your arms empty long enough to get something done.
we miss you guys!!
Hooray! I'm very excited for you amber!I hope it keeps going uphill from here.
That has got to be the best thing ever! I love when babies start holding their own bottles! And I definitely can relate. And I am impressed that Leah would play with one toy for so long. My kids still haven't figured that one out! I hope things continue to get better for ya!
Yeah for progress. I totally understand pregnant nursing pregnant nursing. I say be done with it - okay maybe wean her off slowly but start the process!!! I hope Doug did well yesterday. We are thinking of you two.
glad to see that post. paige looks so cute!
Congrats on maybe being done with nursing soon - freedom (at least a little more). Your girls are so cute! It's so fun to see them grow and develop. Annie hasn't had any separation anxiety when I'm not around - yet. I'm soon it'll happen before long. Sounds like Paige just wants you around all the time.
I'm sorry things have been challenging lately. I don't have any good advice. Maybe you could get it all figured out by the time Annie hits that stage? :)
