Fresh Start

I am so bad about actually sitting down to journal life with the kids, and really, its not fair to them and I wont remember everything so I am going to make myself update this blog so everyone can stay up to date and I can also photograph OUR babies more often than everyone else's!

Ben-jammin' is getting so big! I can't believe how much he has learned in his short time already. He blows me away sometimes with what he picks up and how quickly he processes things. Justin said that he is actually able to hold a short conversation now. I know that to many it doesn't really make sense, but to us it does ;) We have been talking more about getting the kids on a "regular" schedule just because I feel like I am wearing myself out with everything and my normal chores are really lacking these days. We shall see how that goes! We have been working on the potty training but lately I think Ben is a little jealous of Bella because he has stopped showing interest and instead of actually telling us he needs to go, he thinks its better to take his diaper off and surprise Mommy with a poop or puddle somewhere. Not very fun but we are trying hard not to show him too much negative attention with that because then he may become negative toward the whole idea. 2 year old's!!! They sure do keep you on your toes!!!!

Bella is officially 7 months old already, can you believe it?! I sure can't! She is starting to get very vocal and active these days :) She is such a happy baby and super patient. I thought she was going to be a handful but Thank you God, she isn't! We are so lucky, 2 little ones that really, are not as bad as some other kids their age!! The latest with Bella is that she is teething :( so the last 2 days have been a little tough because she has had a fever and her gums are bothering her and just to put the cherry on top she is having tummy issues. You think with all of that she would be just crying away but really, shes only mildly fussy. Today more than yesterday and once I sit with her in my arms she is really good. We sat together tonight and watched Ghost together. Oh yeah, getting her hooked on chick flicks early but HEY! It's better than watching Jersey Shore!!!

Well folks, that's all for now. No pics with this post, but I promise to be more active in posting photos :)

All my love...
