Update on us....

Things have been pretty busy lately. We're still getting used to having two kids, some days are better than others. Nathan is pretty calm if he's being held or laying next to me. He does not like his cradle at all, most nights he ends up in bed with us. I'm ok with this though because I actually do get more sleep that way. He is growing so fast, he's over 10 lbs now, and is learning to let you know what he wants. He has different cries for different things. He's starting to get rolls on his thighs and his cheeks are chunking up, it's so cute!

Johnny is doing pretty well with being a big brother. He loves Nathan so much and is always wanting to hug and kiss him. He's still having a hard time understanding how to be soft, but each day he seems a little better. Johnny is having a hard time with other things though, he isn't listening as well as he used to, and he's starting smarting off. He's always telling me "No", "Don't", and "Let go", in a really snotty voice. We're trying to be consistant with disiplining him when he does this, we give him a warning and explaing what he's doing wrong, if he keeps doing it he has to sit on time out. It works for a bit, but a couple hours later he does it again, I hear consistancy is the key to teaches young children, so I'm hoping all this effort pays off someday. Other than his random outbursts he's as cute as ever. He can say almost anything now, and can almost carry on a conversation with you. The other day he asked me to go into the kitchen with him and when we got there he said he wanted to eat biscuits! I had no idea he even knew what a biscuit was, but he specifically asked for one. It was adorable! Johnny's starting to notice when he needs to go to the bathroom as well, so next week we're going to attempt potty training.....I've heard some different theories about how to do it, so I'm going to pick one that I think will work for him and give it a shot.

Davie and I have been pretty busy taking care of the kids and doing things with family lately and haven't had much time to hang out with eachother. The other night my sister Emily and her friend came up to Logan and babysat the boys so we could go out on a date. It was so nice, it was the first date we've been on without kids in months. We decided to take advantage and go to the temple. It was such a nice night, we both needed to go and it really helped us both feel better about some things. It was so beautiful there, I haven't been in a long time because I've been pregnant. We've decided we need to go monthly and possibly every other week.

We've been able to spend some time with both mine and Davie's families lately, which has been really nice. Johnny loves seeing everyone and playing with cousins. Things are still pretty tough but it's helpful to be around family and keeping busy.

I'll post some pictures soon, my camera's had some issues but I think it's fixed now, so I'll upload some as soon as I can.
