Well...


...I made this blog to help people keep up to date with what's going on with us out here in Colorado. I don't think too many people (besides Greg & Dorothy!) outside of Colorado actually read it. Oh well :)
We're doing great. Keeping busy. I never really know what to write on here. I am always doing stuff and I think, "Oh, I should put this on my blog." and then when the time comes...I forget. Obviously.

Today is Benjamin's six-month 'birthday'. I think it's so incredible. He's such a little man. He's really grown into his own person. He's always had a personality, but it just gets more and more distinct. I may be wrong, but I really think he is going to be musically inclined. Whenever music is on he likes to "sing" along with it. He likes to rock back and forth too. He is a very happy, very good baby. He loves to smile, laugh, and talk. I almost don't know how to soothe him when he is upset because it happens so infrequently! He does have his two bottom teeth, they are actually getting quite big. I thought he might have more by now, but just the two so far. He still doesn't roll over too often. He's probably done it....less than 20 times in his life. I don't know if it's a big deal or not. He's getting close to being able to sit up by himself. I mean, like me sitting him down on the floor and walking away. He does great by himself when you're watching him. He just tips over occasionally still. He eats lots of food and lots of milk. He's turned into a little chunk, it's great. I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his 6 month Dr. appointment.

Charlotte....is Charlotte. She is big herself. She's really pretty much grown out of all her 3T winter stuff. She's not even 3 years old yet! I'm glad I bought 4T and 4/5 stuff for next winter. All of her stuff for this summer is 3T though, so she'll just have to fit it. :) I don't think it will be an issue. Everything's just an inch or two short, so shorts and capris will still be okay.

Well I had pictures of both of them picked out to put on here, but once I did it won't let me move them around and now I'm frustrated.
Will is pretty much doing the same thing. He works a lot and we really look forward to the time we do have together as a family.
I have started a babysitting job (for those of you who don't know). I haven't posted about it because it hasn't been the greatest experience so far. I don't want to get on here and just vent about how horrible it is. We'll see how it goes! I also got my hair cut. I think I've out-mt.dewed myself too. It's starting to have a taste to me, like, not a good one. :) I might be switching to sweet tea as my "have to have" drink for awhile. See if it helps.

This Week

Just a very short list of why I love being a mom:

"You're my best friend."

"If you're still tired, why'd you get up?" - me
"Because I love you." - Charlie

"I don't want to go to Chuck E. Cheese, I just want to hold you." (She's working toward a reward, after she sleeps in her bed 20 nights she gets a fun day.)

"Do we have Gilmore Girls?" (this sounds cuter when she says it, because she doesn't say her R's right)

"I know how to help you put that together." (Ben's new bouncy chair)

Benjamin woke up yesterday and was fussing in his crib. Charlie went in there and he calmed down, so I finished what I was doing and then went to check on them. I peeked in the door and she was sitting in her chair next to the crib, "reading" to him. So sweet.
