How is it...

That I can go this long without posting, and not feel weird about it? I used to be so on the ball with this blog, sometimes 3x a day!

Matthew is growing so fast. He just needs to stop already! I am in awe at how smart he is getting. He is learning to read, and he also learning to add and subtract, and he is just a miracle. I have days where I feel as though I am going bananas, and other days I just don't want the days to end as I am enjoying every second of my life with the kids, and I feel so sad sending them to bed.

I don't know if I posted this yet or not, but he has his first loose tooth. He has had it for over 2 weeks now, and it slowly has gotten looser, but still hasn't made the move to get it to where it just falls right out. He so desperately wants it out, and tonight we really tried to get it out, but he has his fears, and I want it to be on his own terms. I don't want to lose his trust by just pulling it out (even though it is sooo there!) so we will wait. I bet it is looser tomorrow with what we did tonight.

Baby girl is learning more words now. She says banana, cheese, this, bye, hi, nana (for my mom) and her others..doggy, momma, daddy, dadda, night night, binky, baby, dolly...she knows how to say back-pack and says de-de-de-de for Dora..anyone that knows the opening song to the show will know what I mean when I say that. She gets so excited every time she sees her on either tv, or in the stores on products. I used to really can't stand Dora, but it is so heartwarming to see Kate connect with something like that. We played mega blocks tonight. She is so good with them..finding the exact single blocks in the bag..she was stacking and stacking them tonight. It is just so neat to see her so involved with things now. She seems so much like a baby at times to me still, and other times..she is such a BIG girl! I just love being their mommy.

I go tomorrow for blood tests to be sure I have been immunized from the major illnesses I can get for patients, and after that, I have my official orientation beginning on Friday. I can get called in anytime before then to work if needed, and so far, I haven't been called, but that is okay! I have enjoyed being off the last couple of days!
