So it's already been a couple of months since my last blog (oops!)...so much for keeping up with this thing! But I do have an excuse. Actually two excuses: my daughters. I knew I would be busy having two children now, but I'm finding that I seem to have the hardest time getting things done like I used to, being on time to places that I should be, and honestly...even managing to shower every day! At the end of each day, I find that I am almost completely exhausted, and were it not for me wanting to spend a little alone time with Aaron, I would be in bed immediately after I put the girls to sleep! However, I have to say that I am loving my life right now! My two girls are such a joy to my heart...I find myself laughing and smiling all day, even feeling giddy about the fact that my offspring are just the cutest creatures on the planet (yes, I am very biased!)!
Saeler just celebrated her 4th birthday (agghh!) and already seems so much older to me! She's also gotten a tad sassier in the last couple of months...which means more discipline. I'm really having to work at being faithful to discipline recently. It's much easier to deal with an issue when there's only one issue at a time. But when Saeler "acts out", it's usually at the most inconvenient time...Axylle needs a diaper change or has just spit up EVERYWHERE, dinner is on the stove, I'm in the middle of an important conversation with someone, etc. It's in those moments that I have to discern if whatever has just happened with Saeler is spanking worthy or if just a very stern talking to will do. I haven't quite gotten it down pat yet, but it's all I can do right now. Thankfully, these times don't come up as frequently as they used to. Saeler, for the most part, is very well behaved. She'd much rather receive praise for something well done than have to have the consequences of disobedience...wouldn't we all? :) She's a great helper, and LOVES her baby sister so much that sometimes I wonder if she's about to explode from excitement!
The sweetest four year old in the universe!
Axylle, now almost 6 months old, is quite the busy-body! She's rolling and scooting (mostly backwards) everywhere! She loves to jump in her jumper and is making more noise than I've ever heard come from an infant her age! She's the loudest babble-er I've ever heard...but it's SO sweet!!! She now has two bottom teeth and is enjoying trying different baby foods, with one exception: bananas. Axylle is not a fan of bananas. But Saeler wasn't either, so I'm not too surprised. Axylle is also the most joyful baby I've ever known! Saeler smiled a lot as an infant, but she's got nothin' on her sister who's middle name is appropriately Jubilee!
The happiest baby on the planet!
Aaron and I have been having a lot of great times too! We always have fun together, but lately, it's seems to be more quality! He works about 12 hours a day, so we have to really guard our time together and spend it being happy with each other and not bickering over something petty. We don't do a lot of bickering as it is, so that's good...but I honestly, in this moment, I can't even think of the last time we had an argument! Pretty good, eh?
Well, that's about all I've got for now...just a little update of the "happ's" of my life. Maybe if we're lucky, I'll write another blog next week. But let's not hold our breath. :)
