Whew...
Oh y'all. I feel like I'm running on fumes. Ever since Caroline was born I feel like I just can't get caught up.
I have all these projects I want to do, and the chances of them getting finished any time soon are pretty slim. It's all I can do to keep up with the day-to-day house stuff, feed my people half-way healthy meals and have clean clothes for them.
I'm also still working semi-part-time so when I do have a few minutes of quiet child-free time I feel like I need to get as much work done as I possibly can.
And then I finally fall into bed at night and the baby wakes up. I think if we were all sleeping better things wouldn't seem quite so overwhelming.
I've heard that the first year with two kids is the hardest, and miraculously we've almost made it to the half-way mark. Maybe I will figure out how to be productive again sometime soon.
On another note - Caroline is pushing up on to all fours and trying really hard to crawl. Why? Why do my babies have this great need to be mobile at such an early age? I'm happy that she's so strong and healthy, but oh my word! Andrew crawled at six months and it was so hard! I was hoping for a long sitting up, but non-mobile phase with Caroline.
Also, I feel the need to explain why I have so few pictures of Andrew these days. He's in a MOOD! When I get my camera out he turns and runs. Or he hides his face. Or he tries to take my camera. I think I'm going to have to start posting pictures of his toes.
Happy Monday y'all.

Haha!! Andrew sounds like he's hit the same phase Noah did a few months ago. I had to all but FORCE him to sit and let me take a picture. But at least you have this beautiful little girl to practice with. :) Hope you guys start getting some rest soon!

Yup! I was like a yoyo that first year with my two. Still have nights like that! I had no idea that you are working too! Busy mama!

Sooo adorable! Dustyn went through the stage where he didn't want me to take his photos. He is better now, but sometimes I use bribes. shhh...

It does get better! I was exactly where you are even a month ago and right now I feel a teeny bit more in control...but only a teeny bit. All we have to do is hang on a little while longer!

Max has been in the same phase for far too long! Drives me crazy. When we had a dog, she was my muse. Now that she's gone I have no muse. :(
I don't know how moms with more than one do it. Though I do still want a second. :) I have a friend with four kids and I have no idea how she gets anything done, or any time to herself.

I remember those days like no tomorrow. As they get older, it will get a little easier, I promise.
