Well. Rad is 12 days old! Rory turned 3. Blake started his new job in Williams. I cry when he leaves everyday (yay postpartum emotions!). We're waiting on our financing to get finished up so we can find a house and move ASAP because the babies and the mama miss him when he's gone 12 hours 4 days a week.
I made up a joke before falling asleep a few weeks ago (I'm that awesome): What do you call a genuine skeleton? Bonafide!
Rory had her 3 year checkup and is doing so well! Well, we discovered she can't draw a circle or walk following a straight line on the floor (it never occurred to me to practice such things with her) but when her doctor inquired if she speaks using 3 word sentences I almost laughed- more like 15-20 word sentences! We had a baby doll tea party for her birthday that included several stations for the kids to interact with with their babies: a bath station, hair and accessory station, a nurse station where they got weighed and measured and got birth certificates, and a food station. She had a great time!
Bash remarkably transformed from my baby to a little boy overnight! It's devastating and exciting at the same time. He has become a little wild man too, and is outrageously attracted to dirt and anything that could become a projectile. He is seriously stinkin' cute.
Rad is an enigma. He is a good baby so far, for what that's worth. He doesn't fuss much, he's healthy, he's an awesome eater, and he doesn't usually mind sleeping at night (as long as he's with us).
Blake is already enjoying the job and is doing well at it. Summer classes begin next month and then we begin his last year of school!!! He is the most amazing papa to our babies and I must be the most blessed woman ever to have him as my husband. As I told him, it wouldn't be that big of a deal for him to commute if he would just stop being so wonderful!
We're finally home after the hospital and a week at my inlaws' (we planned on staying a night and never went home- the help with the bigger babies was too tempting!). I can't say we're surviving alone yet since my mother in law has been staying with us since I'm still not supposed to drive, lift things, etc. I think we're on track to be okay though! Rory and Bash are adjusting well besides being a bit emotional (more than their usual emotional anyway!)
Here are a bunch of recent pictures:

Hmm, yes, who would think to teach circles and walking in lines! I wonder if there is a list we need to be working on.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome birthday idea! I love it!
