It's Been A Long Time

It's been a while since I've been on here. I can no longer access the site from work and I used to write a lot during lunch. I haven't had the time at home either. Since I'm still nursing Will, I put him to bed and then Owen says he wants me to lay with him. So putting both boys to bed gets to be a very busy night.

We've since completed another level of swim class for Owen a couple of weeks ago. We decided to take a break from summer session just because we think Owen needs to develop some better listening skills. Or should I say obeying skills. He listens to what the teacher says, but will do his own thing. Like jump in the water off the side when it's not his turn, splashing and throwing toys in the water. His teacher, Ms. Hannah, was great. She knew how to handle the kid. Owen loved her. Ms. Hannah new how much he loves the water and took his enthusiasim in stride. She's fabulous. We wish we could get one-on-one teaching with her!

We are working on potty training with Owen. He has been doing great at Randi's. Completely dry all day Monday and today. Even after nap. Of course I think she rations his liquid intake more than we do at home. Actually he was dry at home and his overnight diaper wasn't very wet this morning. No accidents today either. He's even really good about going when we're out and about. He'll ask if there's a toilet and that he needs to go!! Awesome. We are SO CLOSE!

Owen had his first dentist appointment today. He did great! He loved that the chair moved. He didn't really like the light shining down. They gave him some sun glasses and that sort of helped. He was ready to be done, but overall he was a trooper.

On to Will....he is now 7 1/2 months old. He has been sitting up on his own for a month now. He has yet to roll over, but doesn't really care too. He'll be about 3/4's of the way there and then stop. That arm is in the way and he just is content on being still. I'm OK with him not rolling all over the house! It'll come soon enough.

Still no teeth. He's working on both bottom teeth. I sure hope they come in at the same time. They look close. He seems to have 2 bad nights and then has a break for a few days. Then we have another couple of bad nights.

I just had to check on Will quick (he's sleeping) and I noticed that he has his nuk in. I didn't give it to him. Either he found it or Owen gave it to him. Funny. Big brother is quite the helper these days. They roll the ball back and forth to each other now (with a little help on Will's end) and Will giggles with all his might. It's so cute! Owen will also hug him and tell him, "Love you Will."
