Lovin' Life

These boys are cracking me up. Biruk has done so wonderful these past couple days. It's been great and I'm hoping the little guy is finally adjusting and getting used to his surroundings. He is VERY alert and maybe that was some of his problem. He was just afraid he was going to miss something. As far as the nights went maybe he was having a growth spurt. He's put on 3 lbs in the past 3 weeks and he's went from 0-3 month clothing to filling out 6 month sleepers. Yeah Biruk!! He's still as giggly as ever and gives you a big grin every time you look at him.

Big brother is doing awesome! He's been so great with him and wanted to feed him his bottle this morning. He got through the whole thing with no spills. I was super impressed and needed the extra hand because I was scurrying around getting ready to leave to meet the realtor at our old place. Conner is quite the little helper these days getting diapers, putting laundry in the dryer and entertaining Biruk. He's been cracking us up with his choice of words lately, "this is delicous mom", "whatev" (yes whatev has recently replaced, whatever), "I'm just teasing you mom", "maybe later", and several other funny phrases. He's also been asking Nathan and I if we are going to take him to Ethilopia.

I'm happy to report that my bladder problems are under control since I've gotten rid of this awful cough and I am now sleeping again. What a relief! Biruk is doing so much better in the sleeping department and routine has been established. We are going to have beautiful weather this weekend and my sister from Texas will be arriving in the next half hour for a quick visit. She's bringing her youngest child (she has five) and I am looking forward to seeing her over the weekend.

Sorry for the misunderstanding on the last post, I will still be blogging I was just pointing out that there will be NO exciting, crazy, news to post (aka - new homes, pregnancies, adoptions, etc). From here out my blog will include details of my daily life as a mama. For example, while sorting laundry yesterday a turd fell out of my 2 years olds pants. And I picked it up, threw it in the toilet, washed my hands and went about my business. Keep in mind, it was a small turd, but the fact that it didn't phase me is very disturbing. When I asked hubby how he missed this when changing Conner his response was "I didn't see it". Hopefully there are no more turds lingering in my clothes hamper.
