Laila is testing boundaries a little but for the most part she's good. She gives him kisses and rubs his head. She likes to wake him as soon as he falls asleep though, thats wearing on me. I am mainly tired.. also I didn't realize how hard it would be to wrangle two kids but its getting easier the more I am doing things on my own.

Glad things are going well army. I can imagine it's quite the adjustment. I'm getting a little nervous about that especially since DH will be in his busy season of work when Brecken is born.
Other than that I'm great. I feel good! Half way there! Yay!

Glad all is going good jm, wow half way already ay!
2 is definitely a challenge at times. And yes its very annoying when Georgia decides to squeal loudly right nest to his crib when hes just gone to sleep or he wakes up right when shes gone for her nap.
Bath and bed time has tuned into a massive stressful chore rather than a quick splash in the bath and relaxing cuddles. Worse is oh seems to choose not to be around for bathime to help with one. Most nights its me bathing 2 at once, or Georgia first then Jamie depending how tired and grumpy he is. This is starting to wear thin and tonight me an oh fell out a bit cos he decided after he got home from work he was going out alone for a carvery cos hes hungry but theres nothing in the house he wants. Leaving me alone again.
Now i cant be too mad cos its his birthday, but he also went to the pub after work too. Argh. Anywya this is turning into a whole other issue lol. I hate bathtime! They both seem to be ready for their main nap and bedtime at a similar time each day, which is good in a way but hard to juggle 2 at once!

Wishing I had bought a front and back double stiller appose to a side by side. I have been finding the need to strap the toddler down in public while carrying the baby. She is really testing me! lol Did anyone else notice their oldest acting out or pushing the boundaries more once the new baby came? My parents and friends all say its totally normal and all their kids did it too. I am just stressed. Really worn out and the heat is back up out here so its bad in the 90's (F) out here 
.
We are doing really well. Ben is growing like a weed (already retiring clothing) and Laila is learning new words daily. She can carry on a real conversation although your going to be talking about mickey mouse for the most part. I don't remember if I told you guys this or not but we also found out we will be moving next year. Really happy as we will be closer to family. Also its a place we really like! Just the when were unsure of at the moment.
Hope everyone else is doing good.

Soooooooo how is everyone?
Hey! Really good 
Emily had her first birthday the other week. That first year went sooooo fast!
We're starting some new renos to our house - demolishing the concrete patio/deck out the back and replacing it with a brand new wooden one. Very exciting!

Our clocks switch on Sunday.. I don't think it will mess the kids up to much because we have Halloween on Friday so they will be up and out for that. (Am I right in thinking only the US celebrates Halloween. Some countries I know celebrate all saints day... trying to remember stuff from my world geography class on minimal sleep.)

We took the kids trick or treating and L loves it. She wasn't sure at first but once she saw what it was about she was excited. She was't happy when we said it was time to go but she was out for a good hour. B slept the whole time. Now everyone is sick with a cold so dealign with that now.
Kids are doing really good. B is nursing like a pro and I have no real hang ups or complaints. The second one is defiantly easier! L is testing us with the terrible twos bit, but mostly its just getting her to do things we want or need her to do.. or dealing with the I will do it myself. She is also a rough and tubule kind of kid. We have our fair share of boo boos to deal with every day... scares me to death but I know its all part of being a kid. Just wish she would stop jumping from couch to couch!
