Wow

Yes, I am a bad blogger. Man - what a month. I can't believe it is already March. And today is Eli's 8 month "birthday." It has been really busy around here. And fun. Makenna says the darnedest things and there are just so many you can't remember them all. Some of her new ones are: "Mommy, come get me" (when getting up in the am) and then when you get there, "Mommy, I'm not tired." Which 7:30 on a Sunday morning when her brother has slept HORRIBLY...is not a good time to "not be tired." She also has some major spouts of "I can do it myself" times and quite the attitude. We decided that I would take Makenna off b herself this past Sunday. She said she wanted to go to the aquarium, so off we went. We didn't spend a ton of time there, but I think she enjoyed it being just the two of us. Hopefully we can keep up special times alone with each of the kids. The weekend before she went to the circus with Robert and Pops.

I love watching the two kids interact. Eli thinks Makenna is great and laughs at her all the time. And she is so sweet to Eli - most of the time - she loves on him and likes to try to feed him. Eli has started crawling. It started off where he would do "tee-pee" and peek his head through his legs. Then he would get down on all fours and propel himself forward. It was funny to watch. And then last weekend he figured it out - he learned how to crawl on his knees. He has gotten much faster over the week. If only we could get him to consistently sleep at night...

Speaking of sleep...both kids are in bed...and for some silly reason I am still up...not that it's late...but I am missing good sleep opportunity...and since I never know when I'll be up...I'm going to head that way myself.

During Feb. we had some pictures done - supposed to be Eli's 6 months, but he was 7 months. And Mak's 2 years. Plus us. I'll post some later, but again, I'm going to take advantage of the quiet!

Good night!
