I don't normally post blog updates on Mondays. In fact, I am surprised that I am posting now, considering I didn't get much sleep last night, I had a long evening of kiddo wrangling and I have a nasty little headache in the back of my head/top of my neck. Tension headache? Highly possible!
But redesigning the blog breathed some new life into me and my excitement about blogging. More specifically doing a better job documenting our daily adventures with words in addition to photographs. Don't get me wrong, I put a lot of energy into my photography so I don't see it as a cop out to post a handful of photos with no written word because the downloading, editing, uploading, etc does take a long time! And while a picture is worth a thousand words, I don't want to miss documenting what goes on in our lives when the camera is off.
So it begins - my attempt to do a better job with blogging, with both pictures AND words. The good, the bad, and the ugly!
The kids are finally in bed - Declan was exhausted today after a whopping 30 minutes of napping. Yes, 30 minutes in the 8.5 hours between when he woke up and when he was picked up. Little Bub didn't even wait for the car to pull out of daycare before he was sound asleep. I had to wake him up just to put him to bed. I hate days like these, because I only got about 5 minutes of smiles and happiness before his pre-bed napping started at 4:30, and that lasted until I woke him to take him to bed around 7:45. Of course, he ate several times in that time span, but wasn't even really awake while he ate. It still confuses Teagan that he can eat and sleep simultaneously.
Teagan and I had a great night - we played outside for a few minutes while Declan slept in the car (doors open, of course). She played a little T ball. I said "keep your eye on the ball" which resulted in her putting her face about 6" from the ball, staring it down, and then trying to hit it from the extreme close-up position. Luckily I grabbed a quick video! After Matt got home and was snuggling Declan for a bit, Teagan and I played baby dolls and in her kitchen. She helped me burn a photo CD and walk it down the street to her buddy Joshua's house. I wish we had more time to play outside, it was perfect weather. She is upstairs in bed singing as we speak - perhaps trying to burn off a little more energy before falling asleep? I wish she'd share a little of her energy with me these days!
Declan will be FOUR months old on Thursday, I can't even believe it. I was finally wrapping my mind around three months, and four is already here. Later this week I will do a Declan update on all the fun things he is up to recently, and hopefully have some real photos processed for sharing. And of course this weekend I will do his updated month shot so I can share his growth. He has his four month well visit on Monday so some stats will soon follow.
9:15 - I am exhausted and my bed is calling my name. Later.
Summer fun over the weekend...
