One Month

I know that its a little past one month, but hey - when you've got three under two and a half its a little crazy over here....Its a blessed chaos as I call it. I can't imagine it any other way.... Here's some quick tid-bits about our past month:


Joshua:
* Working on the potty training
* Loves school and learning his letters. His favorite letter is now "U"
* Enthrawled with baby Julianna and "mothers" her...sometimes a little too much
* Dances, sings, and bounces all around the house
* Helps mommy with the laundry, dishes, and of course with Jenna and Julianna
* Finally is wearing all 2T clothes!!
* Likes to play basketball and anything that involves sports
*Our little chatter box

Jenna:
* Finally has 2 teeth!! They are the top two in front
* Trying to talk a lot now (says momma, dada, baby, Ginger, nite nite and grama)
* Likes to dance to music
* Best friend and playmate is Joshua (she doesn't know what to do with out him!)
* Very interested in the new baby (learning "personal space")
* Starting to help out around the house too
* Our "little monkey" - climbs EVERYTHING she can

Julianna:
* Grown a whole inch! (she's now over 21 inches!)
* Weighed almost 9 pounds at three-week check up
* Holds her head up and loves to smile at Joshua when he talks to her
* DOESN'T HAVE REFLUX!!! (this is the only one that has been blessed without having this!)
* So far a good sleeper (sleeps fpr 5 hours straight at night)
* Learning to survive in a house of toddlers
* Still can wear newborn clothes, but is quickly growing out of them!


Although this period is sometimes a whirlwind of chaos and seems like we don't know which way is up, I remember that not only is this a short time, but that I will actually miss all this one day. I'll miss listening to VeggieTales in the car and yelling out "don't steal the baby's blanket"...I'll miss holding Julianna and chasing Jenna who has stolen her paci who is chasing Joshua tying to snag a quick bite of dinner....and most of all I'll miss having all three kids in my lap laying on my and just wanting to be held.


Too bad you can't just freeze-frame life sometimes....
