One of these days...

...I'm actually going to get around to get around to changing not only our domain name, but the cover picture as well!  I just can't seem to catch up on all of the to-do's around here lately, and I'm getting the feeling that isn't going to change anytime soon.  ;)

All in all, things are going great, and thanks to the wonderful Rock n'Play sleeper, miss Eloise did a 5 hr stretch last night!  I feel like a new woman, even though I only got about 4 of that.  Andrew's mom was in town again this past week and I'm not sure I would have survived Andrew's finals without her. I also got the chance to get a haircut and go on a date with Andrew. woohoo!!

These girls are oh so wonderful, but quite exhausting!!

On top of the normal crazy that is two under two, I've been working here and there and still haven't figured out how I'm going to balance that in.  I know I am going to take far less sessions than last year, but it's becoming apparent that I need to figure out our child care situation quickly....but that's a whole 'nother post.

Eloise is going to be 6 weeks on Monday!!  I honestly can't believe it and I'm pretty sure this has been the fastest month of my life.  She is just now starting to social smile and I just love, love, love it.  She continues to be a very easy baby, and I'm not kidding, only cries when she is hungry.  Even gas doesn't bother her.  She just grunts and makes sad little faces.  :(  We haven't had a Dr's appt in a while, but she is just over 8lbs according to our at-home scale.  I hate weighing her because that means that I have to step on the scale too, but I want to make sure she is gaining enough.  It worries me that she is still in newborn clothes.

tummy time :)

Oh and she definitely has Addy and Daddy's baby blues.

Speaking of weighing myself, I've got 15lbs to go to my pre-pregancy weight.  ugh.  I know it all came off within 4 months of having Adalyn, but I'm still kind of bummed I let myself gain 40lbs again.  I haven't been doing anything but walking, stuffing my face with all kinds of food, and nursing, but it's about time I at least start making healthy food choices.  I did go on my first run (ok, more of a jog with some walking), and it felt good to log some miles. My awesome parents bought us a brand new double jogger, so I'll be taking that out for walks with the girls and jogging with it once I'm confident in E's head control.

Andrew finally finished year one of his grad program and while we are waiting to see what his schedule will be like this summer, we are all excited to have more time with him...especially Adalyn.  She is obsessed.

Miss Adalyn is also speaking full-on sentences now.  They kind of came out of nowhere and it's really weird to have real conversations with her.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  She knows all of her colors and about 14 of the 26 (right?) letters.  Crazy!!  She has regressed a bit on her counting....one, two, terteen?? lol, but I'm just in awe of her, crazy tantrums over chicken nuggets and all.

 And she LOVES her baby.

Grandma might be really excited to get home this time.  Adalyn kept her on her toes!!

All in all, life is good and I just feel so blessed.  Here's to making it to church for our 3rd time tomorrow!  <3
