life with 2 kids

everybody be quiet, both of my kids are sleeping!!

everton stopped taking naps when he was around a year and a half old.

but lately he's been waking up a little earlier than i'd like, then he'll sonk out later on in the day, making him not sleep at night.  note to self: don't feed him ice cream right before bed and after a long and late nap.  today though, he's been a little feverish and cranky so i made him take an early nap.  

and charlotte, her whole life revolves around sleeping and eating, so i didn't have to worry about her not sleeping.

which, she's been sleeping reasonably well at night.  some nights she decides that she doesn't need to eat at 3am and sleeps ALL night.  and then there's some nights where she wants that late night snackaroo.

hopefully we'll get onto a good schedule where she likes to sleep all night.  HOPEFULLY.

so i thought i'd take this rare moment and come back to my darling blog.  i miss blogging.  but holy crap, taking care of two kids doesn't allow me to do much else.  when i need a nap, i let netflix babysit the toddler while i nap with the baby.  otherwise, i'm always changing someone's poopy butt (we're working on getting everton potty trained soon!  i'm scared) or i'm feeding someone's face.

geez, what's 3 kids gonna be like in the future?

anyways i thought i'd catch up on what's been happenin since my last post.

we got newborn photos done of my sweet girl.

taken by charlene!

i made her tutu and did her nails.

having a girl is wonderful.

i think charlotte and everton are going to be best buds.  she smiles like nobody's business when everton gets in her face.  he always kisses her good morning and goodnight.  he gets concerned when she cries and tries to soothe her with the pacifier.  i'm so grateful he loves her and hasn't tried to kill her.

and then we blessed our charlotte on march 2nd.  it was a beautiful day, she didn't poop up her dress and didn't cry and freak out during the blessing.

we had a luncheon after with a ton of food and a ton of loving family and friends.

here's some pics of some of those family and friends.

we also got everton a twin bed and he didn't have any trouble transitioning. he actually looks like he's in heaven when he sleeps in it.

i got to go to charlene's baby shower!  she's due in the beginning of april and we're all anticipating the arrival of sweet baby emery!

the cecil and caldwell kids.

having these four together make for a lot of noise.

charlott's such a sweet jolly baby that brings such a sweet spirit into our home.

oh crap, she's waking up, time to feed!
