Blowouts and sentences

Well this week has been very full and a bit crazy but also very good. 

When Jocelyn was born she had the worst gas I have ever smelt from any person ever.  I debated whether to share this information because she is my precious angel baby girl….butttttt (hahaha) since then she has been dishing her mama the worst blowouts ever.  And even though she is a girl and she will kill me later for sharing this information, I just had to.  One was so bad I took a picture (which for her sake and yours I really won’t share on this blog) and they all end in a bath and full clothing change.  The worst one yet was this week at a friends house.  Charlie and I joke around the night before that she hadn’t pooped all day and that she would probably save it and have a blowout at the playdate because that is convienent.  Carefull what you wish for she must have been thinking because that is exactly what she did.  Cleaning up a blowout on the bathroom floor of a friends house with baby wipes is not the easiest thing ever.  But I did have clean clothes for her and we survived.  The question is when will the next one strike?

Also this week Liam said two words together.  “more banana” isn’t really a sentence but for some reason it was just so cool to hear.  It was just as exciting as when he took his first steps, maybe even more.  This past week he has suddenly developed a number of words very clearly.  It is just the beginning but it is a great beginning and we are excited to hear something other than no no no no!  Charlie is excited because one of the super clear words was PAPA!

(typical dinner at our house right now)

Also Liam and I started swim lessons this week.  It has only been one lesson so far but Liam loves the water and I think he will pick up all the different “floats” and activities very quickly.  Best of all it has given us the opportunity to re-bond since baby sister came along and it is just what I needed.

Charlie’s job has officially gone to six days a week and they are expected to work a full twelve but up to fifteen hour days.  The good news is the overtime.  The bad news is that he will be gone before the kids get up and home after they have gone to bed so that means he will only see them on Sunday.  Not to mention that he will be tired (and so will I for that matter).  We are looking for other solutions right now so if anyone knows of a job send the info our way.
