Serenity Now!

C'mon, Dad. Another gate?
"The Brain" is at it again.



The boys are sleeping, but for who knows how long? Quick, hurry and update the blog while you have a chance. There will be no mercy once they're awake! Lately the boys have been unbelievably needy lately. All they want is mommy all the time. I know this sounds like all I ever wanted according to the last few posts, but let me tell you, now that they are downright HUGE and love to push one another....not great. My lap just isn't big enough for the both of them and they have quite the showdown for it almost hourly. Their stranger danger has also peaked recently. Poor Tucker screams bloody murder and almost makes himself sick whenever someone comes to visit. I don't even leave! He just knows that if he takes his eyes off of me for a second that I will...he's sure of it. Grr. He has also had some tummy troubles lately and they are both teething so there is a lot of whining, crying, screaming, biting, fighting, competing, and pouting in this house. Sometimes even from me. :-p Well, not the screaming and biting, but you know what I mean. (though they do now know that if they bite mommy, she will bite them back)
The boys hear the word "no" a lot lately since their curiosity is just so un-containable. I try really hard to find things they can do that are okay and actually interesting to them, but they are bored with safe. They prefer to balance precariously just this side of stitches, electric shock, and body casts. If I thought I needed four arms before, boys was I mistaken. I need eight! I am on the verge of complete meltdown at the end of every day. Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the bright side, family is coming to visit and I will have eight arms, and then some. Just in the nick of time. Whew!

I'm pouting...

It has really sunk in the last few weeks just how big the boys are getting. My little babies are disappearing right before my eyes! So, guess what?! They walk! They got tired of relying on me to get them around and decided it was high time they did so for themselves. They just get up and go wherever they want! Unless they're tired of course and then they just want some snuggles. I relish snuggles when I can get them. I'm so proud of them and yet so sad that my little men aren't just content to sit in my lap with their heads on my chest and be held anymore. **sniff, sniff...sigh** It is quite bittersweet indeed. I think more so because they are my first children. It may not be quite as shocking with the next ones (hopefully one at a time from now on...) because I'll need them to keep up with their siblings. :-p They started cruising in February, then walked in March, but fell down too many times so they went back to cruising, but now they have their guts back and these little guys are fearless. Look out world! Here they come!
