I love being able to record our life in this format... but some times I get behind. Life, as busy as it can be, is worth recording, so here's a catch up post (or more).
One thing I've wanted to blog for a while is the life I now live as a full-time "home" mom. I have been truely enjoying my time on mat leave, and am very thankful for this time at home with the little girls. I get to see as much of Chelsea as before, as I always picked her up after school while I was working, but I get to spend my days with the little ones, and am having a blast (at least most of the time). Sure, it is exhausting, and some days I desire adult conversation and don't really want to play play dough, but all in all, we're having a good time!
Natalie still desires to be the center of attention. I guess that's what you get when you're center of life for 2 1/2 years... you just want it to continue. She is not so much of an attention seeker; she just wants me to be playing with her rather than playing by herself. She's not too bothered by Anna, and is just starting to pay attention to the baby in the house. When Anna was small, Nat just ignored her. Now that Anna is playing and making noises, Nat is starting to notice her and interact with her.
Anna is a pleasant child. She is our chubby little girl who eats and sleeps, and now plays too! She does not like to be by herself either, she wants to be where the action is. If you give her a toy and walk away, she's not very interested... if you give her a toy and she can see you (at your level), then she's happy for a while. We've had to pull up the high chair just so that she can sit where she can see us in the kitchen. The floor just isn't fun anymore. She also loves the jumper, but only if you're near so that she can smile and make faces with you.
Aaaahhhhh... its been a good fall for me.
