But I caught Ryan taking a step! Zachary is there too, and Jason. From Today. September 19, 2008

9.5 Months

thursday.

Yesterday was way more productive than I thought it would be. I did a ton of housework, watched my movie, and took Jason to soccer practice. I caught up a few things in Jason's baby book. The twins books are about 8 months behind. I have been jotting notes to add things and dates to them. Someday when they are like 30 (and still living at home) and I have extra time on my hands, I will update them while enjoying a latte at the spa.

Today: I still have late movies to return. I walked 2 miles and it was beautiful out. The Twins are 9.5 months old, no photos. Jason is at school and has speech after lunch. The hubby is at the airport waiting on a flight to Tampa, where he will be until Saturday.

super mom had left the building.

I used the dishwasher to wash bottles and I have late Blockbuster movies. Seriously if ever I needed some extended family to come sit the kids for a few hours while I ran away to the spa, Today would be that day. I have been up with Zachary since 4:38 this morning. To make it worse, I had to stand in the room and bounce him cause I was scared if I left the room, Ryan would fall from the bed if he woke up. By 5:13, I gave up and put the tv on and would run to check on Ryan every 25.3 seconds. It was a good thing because at 25.6 seconds on the 15th check in, he was less than a foot away from falling.

I couldn't wait to get them into the car so they would sleep. And I was sooo looking forward to my walk to keep them busy in their stroller... Then it started raining. I am thinking that checking the weather may need to be added to my daily morning to-do's.

At this point, I am thinking I must be doing something wrong. Why are they not sleeping? Not enough solids? Not enough formula? Too many naps, not enough naps? Not enough bottles? Too much juice? Global warming bothering them? Ryan was so clingy yesterday that when I sat him down, he would squeal. I was Velcro yesterday.. He was stuck to me like lent. At least Zachary takes decent naps in the morning and afternoon. I am lucky if Ryan sleeps more than 20 minutes.

So like I said, this super mom is off today. Not going the extra mile. I am staying in my sweats and watching a movie. I think the hubby is picking up Jason from school so I don't have to get out again until this evening. I am assuming that soccer will be canceled if it continues to rain, but if not I will try to get my walk in tonight. And I need to hit walmart for diapers.

Until Then,

Slacker Mom Signing Off.

teeth.

Zachary's first tooth is through. The second one should be out soon too! This is a better photo than the first. Click here to see it. (And don't worry, I always wash my hands before ramming into my childs mouth. Sometimes.)
Jacques noticed a couple days ago that Ryan was getting his top teeth. I was able to snap this photo last night. Hooray for teeth.

all cheeks and smiles.

Photos are up on flickr. That makes Zachary happy. Hugs, M
