Pasta And Chips

Dearest Miracles~

Hummm .... so someone woke up crying from her bassinet at 4:40am this morning.  I'm looking at you Grace!  ;-P  Daddy changed you and then I nursed you back to sleep.  Joshua continued to sleep in his toddler bed.  I could barely keep my eyes open.  :-P

Joshua did well at appointments today.  He got messy with Mary Beth during the occupational therapy appointment.  She used shaving cream and lotion to see if he would touch them against a mirror.  He was hesitant at first, but then he touched them by himself!  He even helped make smiley faces in the shaving cream with her!  She also put him on the balance ball.  For Kim, Joshua ate applesauce and crackers!  He's going to UNC tomorrow to see the GI specialist, so I hope he eats better soon.

When we got back home, I did a quick pump and then changed everyone's outfits and diapers.  I nursed Grace before the third contractor came over to look at our wall.  This guy really went over the floor plans of our house and gave us some options.  He's going to email me with some estimates so daddy and I can decide what to do.  Joshua had a poopy diaper as he was here, so I changed him really fast as the contractor was taking measurements of the wall.  :-P

Joshua, you still won't share.  Every time you push Grace or take a toy you get a pop on your bottom.  I hope you learn to share soon.  

Grace can pull up on things to stand now!  You don't know how to get back down by yourself though.  :-P  You either fall or Joshua pushes you (you're usually standing next to a toy that he wants).  Oh, I weighed you today.  Well, I weighed myself and then you and I together to minus the difference.  You're about 15.5 pounds now.

Joshua, you ate about three fourths of a string cheese this afternoon!  Wow!  Oh, I keep saying 'mama' over and over to you two!  I pray that one of you all says it soon!  ;-)

This afternoon we went to Gigi's house.  We had dinner there since daddy went to a soccer game after work.  He didn't get home until almost 9:20pm.  Joshua ate well for Gigi!  She gave him pasta ABC's and potato chips.  Grace, you had a little bit of applesauce.  Grandpa Jim helped feed you.  Uncle James and I played on Gigi's bongos and congas and laughed as Joshua danced around!  It was too cute!  After dinner we watched an episode of 'He-Man' and 'She-Ra'.  Grace, you screamed on the drive home.  :-P  You clearly didn't want to leave.

Grace, your left eye is still teary.  I hope it clears up soon. 

Before daddy got home, I laid down next to Joshua and told him stories.  Grace was playing and Joshua was rubbing his eyes and getting tired.  I also told him about going to the doctor tomorrow.  I said a little prayer for him.  Daddy will take him and Penny will be here to watch Grace.  I'll rush home as soon as I can!

Sleep tight you two!

I love you both so very much!
