Updates finally!!!

I have come to the conclusion that with having a husband that is gone for weeks at a time and two children posting a blog every week is just nearly impossible. 

I have time to take care of the babies and sleep that's about it :/ so blogging once a month seems more realistic to me and if I can get more then one in a month well that's just a bonus:) 

An update on our Prince...

He is now almost 5 weeks old! He is weighing a whopping 9 pounds right now and is 20 in long. He has 2 clogged tear ducts that got infected so he has to have ointment in his eyes 3x a day for ten days . The Dr. said that he could have this for 9 months! Poor guy.. He loves to be held and only wakes up one time in the middle of the night! 

And now an update on the Princess of the house..

He pretty much runs the show aroun here! I have always said that I would never raise a spoiled child but that is easier said then done unfortunately. At first I thought she was acting out because of all the changes going on in our lives right now, and I still believe that has some affect on her attitude, but I now have come to the conclusion that she has hit her sassy two's! It's hard to believe she will be two years old in November! She has suddenly started arguing, spitting, throwing some awesome fits, and wants to do everything by herself! It has been a learning experience for the both of us but I am trying to stay consistent with consequences for her actions..<---easier said then done! 

I do have to say when she isn't bein sassy she is te sweetest most precious little girl! She loves loves her baby brother and showers him with kisses all day long and always says thank you, please, and sorry when she hurts anyone or does something he isn't supposed to! We make sure to give her kisses and let her know how much she is loved by her daddy and I! 

I love having two babies around the house it keeps me very busy! Which is good because if you know me I have to be working not sittin around and since I have made te decision not to go bac to work I heb to have something that keeps me going all day long:) 

More exhausted then ever!

Our little Elijah is 2 weeks old! Can you believe it's already been two weeks?? :( 

All Lance and I had been doing is lounging around and napping whenever we get the chance! Having two little ones is hard work!! We did get super lucky though Eli sleeps 4-6 hrs in between feedings which is AWESOME! But Lola wakes up at 5:30-6:00 every morning so there is no sleeping in in this house :(

Lola has been amazing with her little buddy! We have tried to include her in as much as possible when it comes to feeding and diapering him and letting her hold him whenever she asks. She loves to take his bink and run off with it lol... 

We took Elijah's newborn photos last week and one of them was a USCG picture where my friend had made Elijah a hat that they where with their dress uniform and the Coast Guard contacted the photographer and asked if they could use it on the official website :) when I get the link I will post it! Here are a few of them that we took.
