Take cover

Last night we some pretty crazy weather, torrential rain, tornado warnings all over the place, a rumored funnel cloud over the Kennedy , and then, the sirens went off.  No kidding, the emergency broadcast system came on the TV, and then the sirens started going off.  Of course, Charlotte was sound asleep at this point, [...]

Napping issues, revisited

We’ve got napping issues again.  Lucas and Charlotte just turned 9 months old the other day, and I think its time to transition them from 3 naps to 2.  I’ve been thinking this for a while now, but they just didn’t seem quite ready, and since they are 7 months adjusted, I thought letting them [...]

Here come the chompers

Lucas’ two bottom front teeth are starting to poke through.  I think they were really bothering him the other day, so I gave him some Motrin, which he doesn’t even care for anyway.  Also, Charlotte is starting to have her front bottom left tooth poking through as well!  I thought we would be waiting much [...]

The Joy of Eating

We’ve started solids.  Its actually been about a month now, but at the beginning it was very off and on.  One day I’d try with L & C, and if they seemed uninterested, we took off a few days.  I would say that for the last few weeks, almost a month, we’ve been consistently eating [...]

Paying the price

Charlotte has discovered screeching.  Ear-piercing, high pitched screeching.  And she thinks its hilarious.  Oh, joy.  Lucas is incredibly out of sorts for his nap and is reaching the point of hysteria.  This is the fallout from taking them to the BAM! this afternoon.  A good time was had by all, but it still wreaks havoc on the [...]

Scooting and Jumping and Rolling and Talking

I had started writing this last week, and then fever struck, and its been saved in draft form ever since. 
 
I’ve had a bit of writer’s block lately, but I’ve got some things to update about the kiddos.
First, Lucas.  I think Lucas is going to be crawling in a month, maybe less.  He’s been doing this [...]

Sickness Update

I’m not sure which would be more exhausting, one baby sick right after the other, or if both babies were sick at the same time.  I already know that one baby sick after the other is tough.  Lucas came down with a fever last night before bed (topped at 101.6).  Wow, that kid can scream [...]

Fever, in the morning, fever all through the night

Charlotte and I are both feeling much better, though I suspect she is closer to feeling back to her old self than I am.  Its amazing how babies can have fevers much higher than ours, but their recovery can be so much faster.  She topped out at 103.1 on Tuesday, which had me nervous, but [...]
