Zombie Days

We are feeling slightly better, but still under the weather.  Charlotte and I only got mildly sick for a day or two, but Chris and Cooper got it pretty bad.  Chris still has a bad cough and Cooper is still pretty sick. 

I feel a bit like a zombie.  Cooper was waking up every 45 min the first night he was sick, then the next night every 2 hours and the last couple nights every 3-4 hours.  Last night he was up from 2 am until 6 am crying non-stop.  Now he has lots of gas, maybe from breathing through his mouth.  He is still congested and is spitting up more from the extra drool from teething and the draining sinuses.  I feel so bad for him.

On a good note, I got another raise at work.  This is another 7% raise.  This year alone my pay has increased by 42%.  That is just unreal!  Maybe I'll stick with this industry a little while longer...from what I understand companies in Denver are paying higher salaries than what I make now.  Either way, money will go so much further in Denver than here in California.

Besides being sick and teething, both babies are doing well.  Charlotte is FAST with her army crawling.  Cooper is very close to rolling from tummy to back, which will allow him more mobility.  Cooper does this really loud growling and now Charlotte has picked it up from him.  It's funny to listen to her because it's not a normal sound she makes. 

Charlotte also steals all of Cooper's toys.  Cooper has learned to get a good grip on things and hold on to prevent her from taking the toy away.  Well, now he's found Charlotte's hair.  He gets a handful and really pulls then grabs her clothes with the other hand and yanks her around.  She's not too happy about it.  We'll see what she comes up with to fight back...she already knows how to hit him pretty good.  This will be fun when they are going through the 'mine' stage!

We're looking forward to my dad and brother coming into town next weekend.  We sold the Eclipse to my brother, so they are flying out to pick it up and drive it back.  It will be a super short visit, but it will be good to see them anyhow.

Chris has his first foster parenting class this Thursday.  Only one of is required to get licensed, and since he is home with them all day, we thought it makes sense for him to do it.  He's looking forward to having something to get him out of the house without the kids, and I'm looking forward to learning how to handle both kids by myself.
