The littles

Jonah dead asleep at the sports store

the day after his fall

 Sometimes when we are instructing the older boys we would call Jonah and Rowan, "the littles." It is strange that Rowan has somewhat graduated from that in just a couple of months. My littles are now Jonah and Lily. This pair will be interesting to watch grow up together... I have a feeling it will be quite fun when the days comes when Lily can run around with Jonah because the kid is go, go, go! Until, without warning, he's not. The kid will crash so hard when he finally does.

There was a night when Sam was off for his 3 weeks he had taken off of work to stay home and help me when as we were getting to bed Jonah, who was sitting at the top of our couch, which he does often, fell. He fell backward because he had fallen completely asleep. It was definitely not the best thud to hear (opposed to other thuds) He woke up crying a few times after that and then he ended of throwing up and we were advised to take him into the emergency room. It was awful. Sam took him, and I worried at home. He ended up being totally fine but still very scary.

On a funnier note though Jonah asked me if I  had pooped today as he pat my buns and proceeded to say, "ewww" and lead me to his room where he pulled out the changing blanket and gestured me to lay down 😂 Folks-I did not lay down- not even to humor him. Jonah...💕 Oh I love him. He is probably going to be starting speech soon. It is not as if he is not saying many words but he really is very hard to understand. I don't even want to admit it just because of all the many things we have had to do with Rowan but he does need to work on it, and once again, I am very excited to have better conversations with my other son.

Lily bug is now 2 months. Time is not flying. It's not standing still either. I cuddle with every single night right now. Which, I will likely do until she gets in her own room and doesn't let me anymore. One or both of those things. She is the sweetest little thing to wake up too. She falls asleep around 8:30 and then I scoop her up to fall asleep on the couch and when I wake up I feed her and then she goes to her own bed. 

She does seem pretty needy these days. As is, she cries whenever I start to do anything. Like she knows. And I just don't have the heart to let her cry. So, I hold her a lot. One day- at my wits end with the house I decided I would try one of those wraps. I had borrowed one from my friend. I was instructed to watch a couple youtube videos and proceed from there. Needless to say, I watched some videos a number of them actually. Even paused and tried to follow along, no. No thank you! I was sweating trying to figure that thing out, and then trying to get Lily in there she was sweating, and then I was sweating even more. It was not great. I do not think I will be wearing around my baby in a wrap. So, hopefully, she will get through this fussy stage and we will be sitting pretty. 👍🏻
