Things have been really crazy busy lately. It seems like dull life turns into crazy life when the weather breaks and many days I leave the house at 8am and stay out all day with Emmy running errands and hanging out in the running car while she naps!
The good thing is … she’s sleeping through the night! I think I’ve got her on a pretty good nap schedule too. She falls asleep approx 8:45 and if I’m taking Graem to school she’s typically asleep by the time we pull into the school parking lot. Then she tends to go to bed at 1:30pm for around an hour or so.
Margot’s been working mad hours and so I’ve been single mom a lot and it’s been a real pain in the ass. Not sure how single moms and dads do it!
We’re getting our sliding French doors installed next week and we’ll start working on our deck after that! We also got central air conditioning! Quite the investment but it looks like the next few days it’s really going to come in handy!
The kids…
Emmy has 4 teeth now and is seriously CUTE. She says mama, mommy, yum, and signs for more. We’ve also heard her say baby, and Emmy…but thinking both of those might have been a fluke. She smiles and flirts with everyone and she’s still nursing. She typically nurses 3-6 times a day. Some days she’ll nurse in the morning and then she can make it til the afternoon before she gets fussy and needs babas. It’s been nice to have a little more freedom and not feel like she’s glued to the boob all the time.
Graem is doing amazing. She loves school and she’s super smart. It’s so great to see her interact with her friends because she treats them with such respect and I’m so glad to see that she has that attribute. She’s very excited about summer vacation and the prospect of going to Disneyland in October!
We have a few vacations scheduled - July 11-18 we’re going to Provincetown! It’s been a while since we’ve gone on a vacation and so it’ll be nice to meet up with Alex and Dominic. We’re staying in a time-share apartment and so we plan on putting the kids to bed at their normal bedtime and hanging out at the pool! Thank God for baby monitors, right?!?
We also just booked tickets to go to Los Angeles to see Alex and Dom! We’re so excited about that. We’ve wanted to visit for a while now but weren’t brave enough to take PDB on the plane cross country. We figured with flights as cheap as $245 round trip from Ithaca … we had to do it!
We just got back last weekend from NYC — I’ll save that trip for another post entirely!
I have so many things I want to write about but everytime I start something I end up deleting it because Emmy is making a mess and I have to intervene or she’s chewing on electrical cables!
I’ll leave you with a few pics….
