Revolving around kids

My life revolves around these two kids. Today especially felt like that. I woke up, fed Brady, and then wrapped presents after he fell back asleep. Baby girl had two birthday parties today.

We pulled her out of bed at 9:40 even though she was still happily playing because she'd been awake for over an hour and the first party started at ten. She loved it. But when I picked her up you could tell she was tired.  she instantly put her head on my shoulder and in her sleepy voice told me she wanted to go home and watch thomas.

but as we walked to the car i reminded her about lucy's birthday party and tried to get her pumped. lucy is our neighbor and was the only person at the party that abigail knew.  it was a parents-stay-too party so i tried to get baby girl into it.  we were an hour and a half late and it was a three hour party... but we left after about 30 minutes.  i think baby girl told me at least twelve times that she wanted to go home.  she seemed soooo tired and was not her usual self.  as we drove away she told me she wanted to go to lucy's house.  maybe that was the disappointment?  that she wanted a regular playdate with her friend and not a big party (it was at our neighborhood clubhouse) where her friend was too busy with all of the other guests.

also today, baby girl still loves taking pictures of herself with my phone, brady is still doing better and better, we watched an avs game tonight together as a family because thank goodness the hockey season actually started, and i've been trying to find a baby app to use with brady.  i've been using my itzbeen this time around but itz kinda inconvenient that i keep leaving it all around the house and losing it whenever i'm needing it.  so i'm trying out apps now.  so far i hate the similac app and am thinking i'll stick with the ibabylog baby tracker.  we'll see how things go more long term.  and as of yesterday and today, baby girl is back to whining and begging for naps and bedtime.  i know she's getting another molar right now... maybe that's contributing to the crankiness too?

it's been a good day (i even got a [terrible sleep quality] nap!) but busy enough that i'm super excited to sleep and not that excited about sunday.  i get overwhelmed too easily these days and meetings and church just seems like a lot.  especially because i'm hugely sucking at my calling lately.  oh the guilt.




















ummm, miracle of miracles!  my pictures actually posted in order!!!  how do i get that to happen every time?!

Ohmygosh. That first picture almost made me fall over because I was hit so suddenly with cuteness. The outfit. The sticky up ponytail. Her sweet face. Holding the present. Going to a birthday party like such a big girl. You really do live the charmed life!!!
