A fun and much more restful and calm week!

- well, as restful and calm it can be with a 2 1/2 year old and 3 month old. :-)
It's been a week now that Kylie has been going all night without eating! The past two nights, she hasn't woken up at all and it's amazing. What a difference sleep makes! We feed her and put her down around 7:30 and she's been sleeping until 7am. Wow. Now, the flip side of that is the napping - not so good. She's following Noah's fotosteps (good night sleeper and bad napping) but I'm happy to have it this way instead of the opposite.
Noah has been happier also. He had gone through a rough week but last week was much better. We do think he might be going through a growth spurt now - he's been very hungry and very sleepy (which, combined with Kylie's sleep has been great for us!).

Two Sundays ago, we went to Nana and Grandad's for dinner and some playtime...

That following Monday was MLK day so Noah's school was closed. It was a little wamer too so we got outside for a bit to ride bikes with Maddie. Noah hopped right on and took off! I was so surprised and proud. We've had the tricycle in the house since it's been colder and he hasn't had much interest but he was great outside. We went out later that day, too and he rode all the way up to the top of the neighborhood and back. I guess he was holding on tight to the handles cause he's stop every once in a while and say, 'Whew! Mommy, I need to walk. My hands are tired. See??' It was very cute.



Me with my babies - whenever I'm holding both of them, Noah will say, 'We're both your babies, Mommy!' :-)

Noah's new obsession - cutting paper. He does this a lot at school and wanted some scissors of his own, so we went out on Thursday and got some. He concentrates so hard!


How adorable are our kids!?!


Our weekend was good. Friday we had a nice dinner with our friends Sharon and Michael. We hadn't seen them in a while so it was nice to see them. They put up with our crazy mealtime to see us. :-)
Saturday was a nice family day. We went to the mall in the morning and just stuck around our house the rest of the day. It was a nice quiet day for a change.
On Sunday afternoon, we went to Maddie's house to celebrate her 3rd birthday! I can't believe these kids are growing up so fast. This was the first in a long time we've had a playdate with Maddie and Stella Dot at the same time and they had a blast. There were 'moments' as there always are but mostly, it was great! Noah did not want to leave.

All the kids!


Hm, what's going on here...?
This is Noah's last week of full days at daycare. Next Monday, we are starting half days. Since I'm out of work right now, we thought it best to keep him home some more but we still want him in a preschool type situation - not to mention that he loves it! So Waylon will take him in the morning, and I'll pick him up at 12:30. It will be fun to have both of them home together more.

Hope you all are having a great week!
