Wiggle wiggle baby!

Sam loves to wiggle! So much that I bought he a breathable bumper for her crib. She wiggles up, down, sideways, and all over in her crib. It worriers her dad and I. It will be here tomarrow, I am excited.

But in relation to my last post, Sam and I walked to school to get Cam today and on the way home he saw all of the cars across the street at the Kramers. He asked if he could go give Courtney a hug, so we stayed in our front yard and I called her. While I was on the phone Kevins twin brother Keith walked by and then Cam ran over to the lady next door and blurted out "Hey Julie, Kevin died and went to heaven". Keith started crying and I felt like the worlds worst parent. I just took the kids inside because I had no idea what to say at that point. A little later Courtney called me and said she was out in the yard at her house. So Cam and I walked over (Sam too). Cam did pretty good. He gave Courtney a hug and said Sorry but then started to talk about what were they gonna do with kevy's truck. (It was sitting outside). But Courtney did really well with him. There have a lot of little kids that have been over there with family so I think she is use to the little kids. She likes Cam alot and now Sam too.

Here is an example of wiggle worm Sam, she started the night in the middle of her bed between the two rolled up blankets above her. Stinker!

Can we go back in time?

Yesterday we lost a great family friend. Kevin Kramer lived across the street and it was heart wrenching to watch out of our picture window from across the street while my husband stood by with the medics trying to save him. A great life was lost, I know that I did not know him long.... but the two years that I have know him he has been a great friend. I know that he was very close with my husband and father in law. It was a terrible feeling after my husband came back home knowing he was in our bedroom crying while I sat in the living room nursing our daughter. I know I can't be in two places at once, but I really wish I could have been. Kevin was such a humorus guy. Always joking and giving shit. I am going to miss him stopping in the street in front of our house to roll his window down to chat. It still dosen't seem real. It sucks. Kevin was one of the first people I met here in town when I started dating my husband. I am friends with his youngest daughter, Courtney. She is my age. I can not imagine what she is going through. What is it like to just not have your dad anymore? She will never have her father daughter dance. I feel for her. It sucks knowing that nothing I can say or do will help. Thankfully they have a LARGE family that is right by their side during this tough time. The thoughs and prayers go out from our home to theres. Kevin will be greatly missed, but heaven gained one hell of a good man yesterday. Rest in peace Kevy. I miss ya!!

Attachment issues?

Today is day number two in a row of Sam being a crab butt of I set her down. She hasn't ever been like this. But if I dare put her down she will most likely have a fit and on the off chance that she dosen't, if I move to where she can't see me then she will for sure have a fit. This has been the past two days. I haven't posted a blog in the past few days. I told myself that I needed to get on to night and post.
I was thinking to myself today, how man times a day do I (or any parent) say no to my child in a day? Oh my gosh, I was trying to get some cleaning done today and Cameron kept asking me if he could color. I told his yes, once I have the kitchen and the kitchen table cleaned up he could. Litteraly ever few minutes he kept asking me if he could color yet or if I was done cleaning yet. I said "NO" an ungodly amount of times today. He can be such a stinker some days and the best little boy in the owrld others.
Currently Adam and Sam (who is way off her schedule) are sitting on the couch and Adam is attempting to sing nursery rhymes to her. He has sang just about every one, but the thing about it is that half way through he dosen't know the rest so he moves to the next and so on and so on. He is such a good daddy.
About Sam being off her schedule, last night and tonight she hasn't wanted to go to bed at her normal bed time staying up about an hour to an hour and a half past her normal bed time. But the two nights prior to last night she went to bed about an hour early and I think that it threw everything off. Can't wait to get her back on her schedule.

We bought Sam a new bouncy chair, I think she likes it.
(This picture was about a week ago)

This is Sams idea of tummy time, she dosen't liek it so she went to sleep!

And to end the blog on the perfect note, both of my babies full of smiles!

What a busy day

Today we watched my three little cousions. They are 7, 3, and 2. Plus our 5 year old and 4 month old. BUSY! The kids are sound asleep and shortly we will be aswell. Overall they day went pretty smooth. There were a few time outs, but it was ok. Thankfully it was super nice out so Adam spent most of the day outside and I was able to ship them out there for a while before and after nap time. Some how I managed to get my house clean while having all of them here. I was pleased with my work. It was the first time the boys have seen our new dog and I felt bad but I couldn't get them to listen at one point because they were going crazy with the dog so I had to put him in his crate for a little while to get the kids to calm down. Tonight Adam took Titan (the puppy) out and some friends were walking by with their dogs and Titan finally made a friend. So far up untill tonight he has met three other dogs, one wanted nothing to do with him and the other two were scared of him. By the way he is a while 2.5 lbs. So big and mean!! ;) We stood outside and talked for a little bit and had a few laughs. I have to say, I think it has been a pretty good day.


This is Titan, all 2.5 lbs of him!!
