Oldies but Goodies...

These months are flying by faster than I can keep my blog updated! Baby Grady pix are finally up and looking cute!(posted below this much needed update) It might have something to do with the fact that I'm literally "on-call" 24/7 with a 2 yr. old and a 7 month old. Yep, 2 babies. Two of the cutest little boys in the whole world...I'm cherishing every mili-second!
My days consist of changing on average 8-10 diapers a day, playing cars, making eggo toaster waffles with syrup, saying prayers to Thank Heavenly Father for our many blessings, reading books, playing more cars, watching snippets of Piglets Big Movie (Ryan's fav.)Thinking about what to make for dinner, Making bottles, spoon feeding Grady his baby food mixed with oatmeal cereal (which he loves), dishes, lots of laundry, playing more cars, working out at the gym (hopefully), showering (hopefully...I know sad, I usually have to squeeze this in before bed), singing songs, kissing a bo bo, jumping on the trampoline holding Grady and bouncing Ryan extra high, again, thinking about what's for dinner, stopping in different stores with my huge cadilac of a double stroller (which I couldn't live without! Kolcraft Countour, I love you), Playing at the park and throwing rocks in the creek, Talking to my mom and twin sister on the cell, loading and unloading a very heavy baby carrier in and out of the car, play more cars, once again, thinking about what's cook'in for dinner, nap times, cooking the dinner (sometimes this doesn't actually happen due to tiredness), pay the bills, finish cooking dinner, check emails, counting the min. until Jared comes home from work, family play time, baths, hopefully an hour of me/hubby time before bed, and sleep. A full night's sleep too, I'm happy to say. As of a couple weeks ago, at 6 1/2 months, Grady is sleeping through the night, yee-haw! He was never much trouble, just wanted to eat 2 to 3 times a night. That baby cereal did the trick!
So, that's what we're up to these days. We've also managed to meet some wonderful friends and enjoy spending time with them from time to time. Jared is working hard at the Ear Nose and Throat Center of the Ozarks to make all of this playing, cooking, cleaning, and family fun time possible! He sure works a lot, but when he's home, he's home. I couldn't ask for a better husband, and I can't think of a better dad for Ryan and Grady! So for now, that's our lives in a Fayetteville, AR nut-shell.
