Pictures over the weekend

William loves to be tickled!

William's bald spot

Happy Memorial Day!

Right after she rolled






Thank heavens for leaky diapers!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see my baby girl roll over for the first time!
She had a leaky diaper that I discovered in the morning when she ate, and I had her on the floor on a blanket changing her gown. She was rocking back and forth a little, so I let her hang out there for a minute and over she went! I think it may have been a fluke, because she hasnt' done it since, but it was still her first time. Memorial Day, 5:33am!
I took her picture right after it happened, and posed the clock with her, but those pictures are at home, I'll have to post them later.
I just wanted to share our little milestone!

Transperency

Because I believe in this ( most of the time, on most things), I am going to say out loud that parenting is very HARD at times. It's very challenging at times and it makes me want to throw my hands in the hair and just shake my head. I have moments of pure joy, joy that makes me want to hug my babies tighter than ever and brings tears to my eyes...and then the next minute, I feel frustration and defeat. It can happen in the blink of an eye.
I am having nursing challenges, and I'm trying to work through it, figure things out, keep on moving forward...but it's very tough. Verrrry very tough. It makes me feel like I have failed, even though logically I know I haven't.
Children are lovable and demanding and tiring and energizing at the same time.
Commercials make me cry. Computer games me irritated. I'm all over the place sometimes, today being one of those days.
Lol - I guess this is the life of a Mama. And that is me - I'm a MAMA! Eek! I still can't believe it at times. Those 2 babies right in there on the floor, on that little mat - they are MINE!!!! It's hard to comprehend sometimes, even though I live with them.
Anyway, I know I'm rambling, but I wanted to make this post today, since I'm trying to be better about it. Happy Sunday!

Agee

"Agee" that is the sound that William is making right now. AH-GHEE, hard G.
I told him that was his first word, and it's not even a word, lol...
This is my tidbit for today. Agee.

Peeing Machine

William doesn't pee on you like he used to. He hasn't peed on anyone in months...probably at least 2 months. I guess once they get a bit bigger, boys don't do it as much.
WELL - last night in the bath, on the kitchen counter in the tub, he peed on me. I felt it on my shirt and then I hear Billy busting out laughing...William just looks at me.
So then, about 2 mins later, I feel another hard, steady stream and he is peeing right onto my boob ( on my shirt of course) and the same scene replays. Billy dies laughing, William looks at me, and I'm just shaking my head. It was very comical!

This is my attempt at writing, AKA typing, stuff when it strikes me!

One more picture post

See, they love each other?!
Busting out of her "aunt" suit - this suit has since been retired

Emily peacefully sleeping

William and me

Straight from 1940...

Emily loves her Daddy, look at that smile!

This is what we see when he wakes up, he is normally sooo happy!
