The Girl Choir

Click the link to watch Bella, Hannah and Chloe sing their hearts out. They just had to dress up for the concert. The singing starts out strong, but the younger ones quickly lose focus. It makes me laugh every time I watch them...I think they have about as much singing talent as their mothers do :)

Shhhhh

Shhhhhh.....everyone is sleeping....well, except for me! It was a long night with Drew last night and an early morning, so I am tired. My eyes even burn a little bit. At 5 in the morning, when I was up with Drew for the third time, I was hoping that Andy would let me catch up on some missed sleep and that he would get up with the kids. But then the phone rang at 6AM. Andy got called into work for a couple of hours. After he left the house, I got some on and off sleep with popping the nuk back in Drew's mouth every ten minutes. After about an hour of that I decided it was just time to get up. Andy came home at 11:30, and we were both looking forward to nap time. We put both kids down and crawled into bed. Here is how the next hour of my nap went:

Five minutes later - Drew needs his nuk popped back in.

Five minutes later - the nuk is needed again.

Two minutes later - Rock the baby to sleep.

Ten minutes later - Bella is still gabbing away so I peek in on her to tell her to go to sleep. She is standing between the curtain and window, so all I can see are her little legs sticking out. She responds with "I'm busy! I'm playing computer" (with the blinds)

Ten minutes later - Bella is crying for help. Her leg is stuck between the bed and her bed railing.

Ten minutes later - Drew crying and I change him.

Two minutes later - Drew crying.

One minute later - Drew crying and I feed him and I rock him to sleep again.

Five minutes - Drew crying....AHHHHH!!! All this mama wants to do is catch up on a little sleep!

Finally I decided closing and opening my eyes over and over is just making things worse for me. My attempt at a nap is over. As of right now the house is quiet and Andy, Bella, and Drew are all sleeping. I'm glad, because they all need it. Andy worked late hours last night and early this morning. Bella and Drew both have coughs and don't feel great. They need it more than me. As tempted as I am to lay down, I am not going to because I know as soon as I am about to fall asleep someone will wake up!!

Here is my sleeping baby....Finally!

Drew- 2 Months!

At Drew's 2 month appointment he weighed 15.5 pounds!! What a chunker! I love the rolls and chubby cheeks :) Sometimes I will call Drew Buck-a-roo or Bug-a-boo, and Bella thinks it's funny. Then she starts calling him a whole bunch of different names. Names of her stuffed animals - CindyLou Who, Puppy Max, Grinch, Bumbles, Booger....she thinks she is so funny and laughs at herself when she calls him these names.

Look how long he is getting!

Drew is cooing and smiling a lot now. He loves to be talked to and smiled at. He will "talk" back to us when we talk to him. I love his sweet little voice. It's also fun to watch him sleep because he smiles in his sleep a lot....so precious!

I am just in love with his dimples!

I love pictures of babies yawning....

Drew is getting better at holding his nuk in his mouth. I decided to buy him nuks that were 6 months and up, and he is better at keeping it under control. We can't seem to have enough nuks in the house. Every time I go to the store I feel like I need to buy another pack! I think we have 7 nuks around, but whenever I need one I can't find one! Maybe Bella is hiding them on me! One day I rounded them all up, cleaned them, and put them all in one spot so I would know where they are. Within one day I was searching again!

Drew still naps on and off during the day. When he is crabby I wrap him up all snug in a blanket and snuggle him. He is usually tired and falls right asleep then. The boy likes to be snuggled! He isn't sleeping through the night yet. I usually get up with him 2 times during the night. I'm afraid it will be a long time before I get an uninterrupted night of sleep!
