Oh. my. gosh. This was such a long week!! I am so exhausted from the sick, teething babies!! I just wish their teeth would pop through already! Cooper has a rash all over his forehead, neck, back and it becomes a diaper rash too. We're not sure if it's a heat rash from all the sweating during the fever or if the Hyland's teething strips caused it. We cut out the teething strips and we're monitoring him. Hopefully it gets better soon!
On top of teething he is also trying new things. He is now starting the initial pull up on things. He is so strong so I imagine it will only be a matter of a week or two before he does it successfully. Especially since he already climbs over things.
Charlotte is adorable...she will give hugs and kisses (open mouth tongue out) if you ask. I am really enjoying her these days! She is such a different baby now that she feels safe and has adjusted to being home with us. I'm really glad she is blossoming.
I am so tired and I need to get the house cleaned. Guess I'll save that for tomorrow morning and go to bed early tonight. I'm excited for the weekend. I'm going shopping to buy a dress for the holiday party, then a date with Christopher, and then on Sunday I have Brandy's baby shower! What a full weekend. Sounds perfect.
I am very busy at work these days. It's end of the year crunch so I have to prepare the performance reviews for my direct reports and make sure all of the post-project analysis gets done. I'm really enjoying it all, but it's tough to not be able to work any extra hours. I easily could work an extra 10 hours a week with all the work I have to do. It stresses me out, but I try to relax and accept that I just can't do it all right now.
I finally stopped shedding my hair from all the crazy postpartum stuff. Now I have new hair growth and it's ridiculous! I have about 1/2" hairs growing all over my head. My hair is crazy right now and my bangs are out of control. I hate it! Grow, hair, grow!
Okay, so this post is a little all over the place...must be the exhaustion. I leave you with some pics of the kids.
Charlotte preventing Scout from coming inside:
The kids sharing the Einstein Jumper (yes we have two...the fisher price rainforest one and this one...we like the fisher price one better and for the most part, so do the kids) and then looking right at the camera for a photo op.
The kids fitting into a corner and making a mess of the magazines.
And because I'm taking more pics of Scout and she thinks she's one of the kids:

Hey Salina, it is National Adoption Day. I have posted a tribute on my page. Just a small one for the people in my life touched by adoption. You are included in that, even though your not quite there yet, you will be soon enough. Please hop on and see it so I can honor you and Chris and what you are doing for Charlotte and what she is doing for you.
